I stumbled across a nice little website called www.NiteLinkOnline.com where you can post your credentials and pics to find jobs as bartenders, security, and all types of jobs in the night scene. It looks pretty new but I think it maybe something to try. It couldn't hurt besides its free.

Three guys were talking one morning about how drunk they were at the party they were at the night before.

1st guy: Man, I was so drunk that last night I got home and blew chunks.

2nd guy: Oh yeah? Well, I was so drunk that on the way home I was pulled over and given a DUI!

3rd guy: That's nothing. I was so drunk that on the way home I picked up a prostitute and my wife caught us in bed!

1st guy: No, no.. you guys don't understand! Chunks is my dog.

Brittney, you be one complicated woman.

Um, me too.

Clarity seems not to be my forte today. As in, I agree with the guy.

Sheesh.

Neat that you are concerned that I might have seen you trying to see if I could see you in a public place, and yet you let strangers see your desktop as you try to see who can see you sleeping on your webcam. Brittney, you be one complicated woman.

I am always reminded of that Seinfeld episode when I tip at The Red Rose. You know the one, when George goes to the dry cleaner and tips--but the guy always misses it.

Neat that you can see tippers and the dickslaps who don't tip in the reflection of the machines. Not so neat that you could probably see me trying to see if you could see me tip you.

I've been thinking about tipping lately as well. One thing that seems weird to me is when people make a big production out of tipping. I have to turn my back to make most drinks, but I can spy behind my back due to various reflective surfaces. Some customers will hold their tip above the tip jar waiting for me to turn around so that I will be sure to see their tip. And, of course, I always take a little longer for those customers, just to prolong their awkwardness.

Brittney says "I think it is rude to look", and that seems to be the prevailing attitude. Tipping is this weird thing that makes most people on both ends uncomfortable. Like taking price tags off of gifts. Maybe for the diner it is the guilt involved in knowing that the person bringing you dinner makes less than minimum wage. Or, for the server, some shame attatched to this socially ritualized begging.

But my favorite customers aren't always the ones that tip well. And I agree that the drink is the thing.

Not one thing in specific I remember folks by. Actually, I don't know what most of my regulars tip (except, that it is probably good). I usually just stuff the cash in the tip box without looking. I think it is rude to look.

However, I would most likely remember you by your drink. I try to put beverages in front of regulars before they are even in their stool.

You're living proof of why I tip good waitresses. And it has nothing to do with the fact I may or may not find them to be loverly. (At least it makes it easier.)

But tell me this, if I'm a repeat customer, do you remember me by my tip? By the trite converstaion? Or by the weird beverage I order?
