My old adage '' The Tip is nothing more than intimidation" You tip a Barber so he don't mess you up, you tip a super , so god forbid you have a flood he shows up. don't tip enough or at all when you go out to eat the next time you get spit soup or steak Ala flatulence, In our time rest assured we all had our share of spit soup. Myself and another eater was practicing for the Wing Bowl a while back when the Chinese buffet informed us that we had all the wings he intends to let us have , we complained loudly , we got the wings , but got sick , everyone in the back probably cleared their throat in our food. sadly there isn't a waiter or kitchen help or chef that hasn't spit in food, its a long standing restaurant tradition. remember the waiter is the last one to handle your food tip him well and when at a buffet don't overstay your welcome ..endMarch 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 October 2008 November 2008 January 2009 February 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 January 2010 February 2010
