Thanks for those links. I was so irritated to read the poor tips that people were leaving for the delivery guy. I never understood the rationale of lower tipping for delivery. I mean this is the guy who has enabled you to be a slug on your couch saving you time, money and effort and you tip him less than a snooty watier who shows up every now and then and patronizingly says ‘How is everything, guys?’
- umm we are not both guys, we are not your best friends and by everything i assume you mean the meal which is fair to middling. just making a point thats all.
we always tipped the delivery guy at least 15% so those people on 85th between West End and RSD who are definitely earing a tonne more ought to give themselves a kick on the behind.
couldn’t see the video of the south african girl - CNN should just use Youtube or BrightCove or anyone other than themselves to stream video.
