Deviation is the road to unhappiness

Life can be easy if you want it to be.

Book your table, be on time, order well, eat, pay, tip, leave.
Do that and your dining life will be an enjoyable one. Deviation is the road to heartache, tables with bad views, slow service, cold food and mouthy waiters.

Tonight's guests followed the path to dining enlightenment. They were particularly enlightened when it came to the 5th tenet of dining enlightenment, tipping.
Enlightened to the tune of £140 that's 280 of your America dollars!
Frickin sweet for a Monday night.

I'm feeling very fucking zen like right now

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Slipping a wallet out of one of their coats is not, strictly speaking, tipping.
    Give it back.

    I can’t add anything to the discussion, actually I came here for a loan. Does $280 sound right?
    Of course, I’m forgetful about repayment.

    And, adding a zero to “14″ doesn’t mean they won’t figure it out… eventually.

    Actually, I bet I know what you did to get that tip……

    I hope you’re putting the cash in your shoes when you leave at night, Manuel. I know plenty of waiters who got rolled going home in uniform. Scary business.

    Blessed be the generous.

    Ha, now I’ve got your number, Manuel! You always claim your big priority is giving your diners a good time, keeping them happy etc, but really it’s only the tips you want isn’t it? TIPS TIPS TIPS! And to think I once prayed to Saint Manuel every night for guidance. You’ve broken my heart.

  17. INNER VOICES says:

    queenie: yes we do, but I was on my own so I split it with various shops in town…

    nick: sorry I gave you that impression….I’m all about the money! and a wee bit about the love….which generates the money…

    voices: peelers in Belfast are the cops! yes I had my tight apron on…..very tight!

    quickie: I do! but I know how to shake my booty!
