We'll probably eventually limit where we can have the beer meetings by doing this, but I too am tired of covering others. Separate checks for me from now on. As far as the whole wait-staff tipping issue. Everyone has the ability to chose their own path in life. If they (waitstaff) don't like the wages, they should find another job. I tip if I feel service was good. If service sucks, no tip. I'll have to side with Mike Jentges on this one, I've never gotten tips in any occupation I've been at and I've done my share of time in the retail industry. Would sure be nice if _some_ of the people I spent time helping tipped me 15% or more. -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
