Something doesn't add up here!!

Address your server without what he or she judges to be proper respect, or fail to tip adequately, then chance a return visit and, according to stainedapron.com, you run the risk of ingesting insects, urine, dirt from the floor, saliva, sweat, phlegm, laxatives, breast milk and worse.

... and worse???? I hate to think what that might be.

There is one Japanese restaurant, and a few 'southern cooking' cafeterias that I go out to. Other than that, forget it. Even though I tip 20% consistently, I don't trust the general sanitation of the food prep area, nor the (potentially disease ridden) fags that seem to make up a disproportionate number of wait staff at most restaurants.

"These guys would order stupid things like osso buco...

What the heck is osso buco? Sounds like one of those girly-boy type dishes like quiche.

Didn't Hildebeast, stiff a waitress at an lunchcounter
during her Silent Senate Tour of 'OO (has the waitress
been audited, yet? - 'One shouldn't bother, The Queen
while she on tour.) :)

Osso buco
Never had it, but I think it's a veal dish.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

A Las Vegas-based contributor found himself serving a famous double act....on a silver platter and room service would come to pick it up....
These guys would order stupid things like osso buco a half-hour before they wanted it (osso buco takes 12 hours to cook)...One day we were getting slammed, and those guys kept demanding potatoes every half-hour; we would send the food up, only to have more immediately demanded."

Penn and Teller?
Zigfreid and Roy?

I'm curious.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Thanks for the link, don't sound too bad after all.

Nope, it's meat-- veal shank braised til it's falling off the bone. Good eating.

[Little Ms. FReepette]

I heard a while back that Roy Scheider (Jaws, Chief Brody) and Diana Ross are bad tippers.

I used to waitress to get myself through college. It was very hard work sometimes serving jerks and their every need only to get a horrible, horrible tip. Plus running around all day all over the restaurant. By the end of the day my feet hurt so bad, I could bearly walk.

I know what waitresses go through, I have been there. 95% of the time I tip above and beyond 15% unless the waitress is rude or just all around a bad waitress; which I rarely find the case to be.

My whole family are good tippers. I guess it runs in the family.

Which is a lie. The real story about Algore in this article happened to the Klinton campaign in 96'. In fact, the Klinton's told the proprieter that they would pay them later and the propriter had to go to extreme lengths to get their money back, including writing the White House.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

He then left about $5 on a $38 bill and said on his comment card that Bob's was 'kid-friendly'."

That's about 15%. What's their complaint? His eating habits? If so, they should get out of the restaurant biz. People eat like animals for the most part.

Ewwww! Now out of curiosity I have to go check out that website: stainedapron.com and see who found a cockroach in their soup (I can only hope it was Babara Steisand).

...see who found a cockroach in their soup (I can only hope it was Babara Steisand).

Oh, that would be sublime!

[aculeus]

Lousy Tipper Gore bump.

And don't forget the world's richest autistic:

He [Bill Freakin' Gates!] didn't really talk to them or the managers and just seemed to want to eat and rock back and forth.

[Little Ms. FReepette]

Pretty right on.

A fair tip at about 15% is usually about $1.50 per every $10.00.

BTW, there is no stainedapron.com. Maybe they went out of business. It's a funny concept though.
