    I hope the waiter isn’t expecting a tip.

    I guess we won’t need to leave a tip. The waiter is tipsy already with all that wine.

    Waitstaff have to have a sense of humor, otherwise there would be fewer living return customers.

    They should’ve gone with the red whine. American Indians have much more to complain about.

    If you like that whine, just take a look at the brew the back of the house is cooking up.

    Oh wait, they’re shooting it up after cooking it up.

    They have a tendency to emote since they’re all wannabe actors :D I wonder how they feel when they get a gig performing as a waiter. I guess they use their life experience, don’t show up or, if they do, they go with the wrong script in hand :D

    I would never order “the best wine” – could be $1000/bottle.

    The waiter must have a sense of humor. He wouldn’t have left a rat and a pig into the restaurant otherwise.

    Gocomics has finally crossed the line by refusing to load comics if you have an adblocker. Farewell, friends, I’ll find my amusement elsewhere.

    Restaurant Ass’n of Florida (of which Disney is a prominent member, along with Red Lobster and others) won their fight to NOT require paid sick days for wait staff – don’t you just Love knowing your wait staff has a choice of not being paid, no tips, or staying home to heal? I consider it fortunate this NRA did NOT win their effort to reduce base pay to $2.13 Heaven help us all.

    Joke: my dad got the rabbit soup at a restaurant. The waiter said, “if you say that there’s a hare in my soup, I will get the manager to kick you out of this restaurant, then charge your credit card extra.”

    My dad got a salad instead.

    I always gave tips on the service, which generally was good and even excellent ………… but one time the waitress really p*ssed me off. It would have been different if she was busy, but she walked right by us and took her break, finally one of the other waitresses that knew me asked if we had our order taken, I said no but could see that she that she was busy, she then said I’m not your waitress she is ! About then the owner came over and apologized for making us wait, took our order. The waitress that was suppose take our order brought out our food and she acted like it was such a job ……… so when we left, I put a penny tip under a flipped glass of water. (I did find out later, that waitress got fired, shortly afterwards) !
