Q: Dear Aunt Agony. Why won't my nuke button work?
A: Contact the USSR.
Q: But the USSR doesn't exist any more!
A: Be friendly with the US and they might let you have some. If you're really, really lucky.
Q: But that's just what Howard is doing!
A: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Mwahahahahahaha!
Q: Noooo! *goes insane*
A: They don't call me the Agony Aunt for nothing!

Heh, speaking about all this tipping stuff. Yesterday I went to Sonic, I ordered something that was 3 bucks. I took out a 5, for the tip and all. But guess who walks through the door and is heading towards my car? Some girl who ALWAYS goes to McDonald's and gives me a hard time. So, I wait JUST before she gets to the car, and put the 5 back in my wallet, and pay in exact change. Muahahahaha.

If I get mediocre service, I tip exactly 15%, but if they do well, I can go up to 25%. It's always good to reinforce good behavior!

What really bugs me is the stupid Interac tipping; I'm not about to let a machine choose my tips for me. I leave tips that I think measure up to the service. =)


Fast food joints don't normally require tips. Unless you've been shown to a table, have an assigned waiter, and get food delivered to you, don't tip.

I actually ponder leaving a couple bucks under my tray in the food court at the mall -- it's all fast food, sure, but I figure finding a bit of cash would brighten the table-washers' day a bit. It's a minimum wage job*, so a little bit of money here or there seems like a nice thing to do. (Besides, leaving money under the tray would give me an excuse not to pick up my tray. ;-))

* You know, I just realised... now that the Canadian dollar is climbing, minimum wage in Canada is now comparatively higher than minimum wage in the United States.


And don't forget to tip your barber/hair-stylist as well!

Mine refuses. (Awkward situation: I was at his barber shop, and I was watching the TV in there while getting my hair cut by his relatively attractive assistant. My mom was off picking up a couple groceries. Anyway, the assistant walks around in front of me to cut my bangs, and intercepts my line of sight to the TV with her, uh, torso... at the exact same time as my mom walks in through the front door. I couldn't move my head or anything (didn't want to mess up the haircut!), so all I could do was turn my eyes and look at my mom with a helpless look on my face. She started laughing. =P)

Now that's stupid... it's like a shop-imposed Goods and Services Tax. =P

You're not evil enough, Spuzzum! *cracks whip* =P

Okay, maybe you are... =)

Hah! Take that, Americanski!

Awkward situation: [snip hilarious story; you can read it above, you lazy people]

LOL. You lucky... except for the bit about your mother. =D

I was about to say.... you're supposed to pick up your tray anyways. Lazy bum.
