Tipping Part Two

OK, our waiter at THE CLIFF'S EDGE RESTAURANT in the SUNSET JUNCTION district of LOS ANGELES was an ass and the food was bad.

So far, the suggestions to the question of tipping in this situation have been: $Zero, $ .01, 8%, 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%. The Great Plotnik sides emotionally with Mr. Mush and Mr. NotthatLucas here -- no tip seems perfectly justified, based on the bad service and mediocre food at THE CLIFF'S EDGE RESTAURANT in the SUNSET JUNCTION district of LOS ANGELES -- but also recognizes what The Great BeezieWeezie has pointed out -- that waiters share their tips, and in this case the bus boys were the only apologetic humans in the employ of THE CLIFF'S EDGE RESTAURANT in the SUNSET JUNCTION district of LOS ANGELES, so they shouldn't be penalized too.

Hmm, what to do.


After all, the zebra didn't come to the table raw.

And the restaurant's facade did need a little work.







So, in the end, The Great Plotnik has decided that although he thinks no one but the busboys at THE CLIFF'S EDGE RESTAURANT in the SUNSET JUNCTION district of LOS ANGELES deserved to make a penny that night, his 11-12% tip probably wasn't too little. But he doesn't really feel it.

In the future, he hopes he will keep his promise to will slip a few bucks in the busboys' pockets, and leave it at that.
