Comments: ujay comments on Visiting Americans; Usually Leave Too Much Of a Tip So Stop It! Opinions, just opinions. 20 years ago 30 years I'm estimating. But there was a point in time I remember the dollars was lower than the peso. I remember one time I could get $1 for 900 pesos or less. Maybe it was less or more than 20 years ago. When I go to a restaurant of wherever I could care less about the service. All they got to do is bring my dinner. Serve my drink. This is not complicated. A trained monkey can do it. Big deal. It's not like they are giving me a happy ending at the end of a meal. Do we really need these people anyhow? I don't need to be pampered. I just want a meal. And I don't want to feel guilty afterwards about not leaving a tip or leaving too little or feel the negative vibes of the waitress who isn't even happy with the 15% you gave her because she's been spoiled and usually gets more. Few people in the States will not leave a tip if service is poor. Try pulling that at Hooters and you'll get the waitress follow you out into the street asking for her 15%. Most these people, waitresses, waiters, servers, are nothing but cookie cutter generic brain washed corporate gimps. They all come over to you in the middle of your meal and interrupt with you with a "Is everything ok?" Why do they train these people to ask this annoying question. Just be around if we need something. Don't come interrupt us in the middle of a perfectly good meal when we have a mouth full of spaghetti or a meatball on the end of our palate. We shouldn't have to make up the difference in their wages is all I'm saying. This is something that needs to change globally. I think the world should go open source with everyone collaborating. Personally I'd give away anything more than 2 million dollars and share and help people make 2 million dollars too until everyone could eventually have the wealth spread out among them and be a collaborative sharing society. Open Source. With everyone trying to make 2 million dollars then passing on everything they make over that. And just enjoying life. Seriously we're not taking anything with us to the grave. We should all die broke. The last check we write should be to our undertaker and it should be a cheque chimbo.
