haha, yes im familar with those who will refill your drink and then will go outside and smoke cigs. for 15 minutes while your waiting to ask her a question and she is no where to be found

im not saying its proper to leave tips all the time

but if they are on their game, a tip IS a must

i know not too long ago i went to a steak n shake (the best place ever) at 6am and i was the only one there...

after my meal my total was like 19.xx and i gave her 2 20 dollar bills (one for the meal, and told her to split the 2nd and keep half) she looked at me weird and said "you know that over 50% of your meal" and i was like who gives a fuck, you gave me great service, talked to me, showed me she cared more then to just keep my coffee filled....

anyways she thought i was crazy and drunk (i was completly sober) but she was happy and i was full and happy..... she made the extra effort so i did the same

if you treat me like a friend, ill do the same in return
