Talk about a coincidence. Nearly the same day that this story arc began, we went out of state to help our son and daughter-in-law. Today, as the arc appears to be wrapping up, we are about to leave for home.
I was a busboy, waiter and eventually restaurant manager early in my career. Different restaurants have different rules on tip splitting. Some do nothing (waitresses keep all they get), some put it all in a pot and split it evenly among the waitresses and other staff members (cooks, hostess, busboys, etc). In some places the smart waitress’s will voluntarily give the busboys a cut and the busboys (also not being idiots) clean those waitresses’ tables faster so they can get another customer and tip and another split for the busboy.

Looks like Arlo was dissatisfied with the tip split when he was her busboy! 8^ )

Love the way they answer together. When the wife and myself are similarly being peppered with questions we also have overlapping responses.

An old joke but as good as a dad/bad joke.

In the words of Sterling Archer: Just the tip!

Shake yo’ moneymaker, Janis. Use it, or lose it! You’ve showed them all what you can do. Onward!

Why did they need their parents help for just a short time?

Is anyone else in the same coincidence?

I am sorry to see this arc end, but all things must pass.

Janis is cute in the last panel.

As I said when this arc started – they would not accept payment from the kids.

Sigh! So many people don’t understand her ‘tip’ and have sold into the teeth of the current bear market.
