Do Hams Tip?

Linda Sue Williams, 41, is a waitress at Miss Valinda's Country Kitchen. After waitressing for over 20 years, she is somewhat a judge of male character. Linda Sue's customers are mostly blue collar family men. They come in, drink coffee, read the paper, order breakfast and make a little small talk with Linda Sue and the other waitress staff. The one and two dollar tips they leave Linda Sue are appreciated. Sometimes on Fridays a large group will sit at one table, and Linda Sue may make as much as $20 in tips for the table. Once a year the ham radio hamfest comes to town, says Linda Sue. They demand endless cups of coffee, dump more food on the floor than they do in their fat bellies and expect instant service, while making lewd remarks to me, says Linda Sue. The table is filled with their expensive little toy radios and palm computers. They brag endlessly what important jobs they have, how many people work for them and how many college degrees they have. "If only their tipping habits were as big as their inflated egos," said Linda Sue. When they leave, I am lucky if I find a few pennies and dimes left among all the trash. Their body odor lingers for hours after they're gone. "Hams are smelly cheap braggarts," says Linda Sue. And then it gets even worse, the cbers from the keydown come in. |

Anybody can stereotype anyone. Don't get me started on them thar fellers that live in them drafty ole house trailers and drive them thar pukey green Pontiacs with the twin "whup-whips" 4 feet apart--you know; the ones that go down the road going "fooomp-foomp-fooomp' on 4-5 cylinders and smokin' out all the 'skeeters'. Five miles to the quart [oil].) Try THAT on for size Mr. Jatowski. |

Of course hams tip.
All you have to do to get a ham to tip is to apply sufficient lateral force above the ham's center of gravity. This result is, of course, completely and accurately predicted by Fudd's First Law of Opposition: "If you push something hard enough, it will fall over." 73 es HNY de Jim, N2EY |

Change "Linda Sue" to " Mary Ann", and the poster from "Alan Jatowski" to
"Shovel Head" and you have a very old post. LOL "Alan Jatowski" wrote in message ... Linda Sue Williams, 41, is a waitress at Miss Valinda's Country Kitchen.

"Robert Casey" wrote I don't know why many people from the WW2 generation don't shower every day. Robert, have you ever run into someone that you felt you just didn't like very well, but you couldn't identify a good reason for that feeling. You've just given me my good reason. You're an asshole, and you're damned good at it. Hans |

writes: Why tip for expected average service? Tips are a reward for exceptional service, not average service. In every part of the USA that I've been to, tipping is customary in full-service restaurants and certain other situations. That's for *average* service. If the waitress went out of her way to provide extra service other than carrying a plate of food or a cup of coffee (which is what she does anyway), why tip? Because it's expected. In fact, it's so expected that wages for waitpersons are low *and* the feds expect anyone in certain occupations to report a certain amount of tip income that doesn't show on their W2. Tips are for service over and beyond the call of duty, such as being a bit more friendly to visitors, rather than the run of the mill service. (Take the order and deliver the food and drink). Where did you get that idea? A tip isn't given to a waitress that is crabby because her boyfriend came home drunk as a skunk and still has to get the brakes on his 68 Ford pickup truck fixed. Sure. That's not *average* service - it's poor service. Tips are an option for extra service, not a wage. I'll tip if I get very nice friendly service, but will not tip if the service is average. I tip 10% (that way I don't have to do much arithmetic, but will round up to the nearest dollar. 15 % is customary. For taxis,let's say for a $16.00 fare, I'll give the driver $20.00 and he can keep the change if he gets me to where I'm goin' safely and efficiently, the cab is well kept and clean. I've been in cabs that should have been taken off the road, and the cab driver gone through a wash, rinse and spin cycle a few times. That's a lot more than 10%! Shouldn't *average* cab service include all those things? |

Robert, have you ever run into someone that you felt you just didn't like very well, but you couldn't identify a good reason for that feeling. You've just given me my good reason. You're an asshole, and you're damned good at it. There's people in the group rec.audio.tubes that do a much better job at that than I ever can do. Compared to them, I'm a pretender. :-) BTW, I didn't say "all", only said "many". Rarely run across such in baby boomers or later. |
