Do you leave Tips at the table when you go to a restaurant?

SangsTurks @SangsTurks (1444) • India 17 Jul 08

According to my mom, its a nice gesture to leave tips for the steward for the service rendered. But i beg to differ from what my mom thinks. Why do we have to leave tips when we are already paying service taxes for the service...

Aussiepup113 I always leave a tip - and if it was good service I leave a big tip. I'm not sure about India, but in America most waiters/waitresses make a small base wage and depend upon the tips for the rest of their wage. The better they are at serving, the better their...

Aussiepup113 So sorry to hear about this young person dying so suddenly. You are right, you never know what will happen. We have had some scary things happen to both of our children in the past due to doctors not paying enough attention and it can be very hard. Both are...

Republishing your articles to get more money?

SydneyHazelton @SydneyHazelton (4586) • Singapore 10 Jul 08

I'm just wondering whether there are any of you who publish your articles in Triond and subsequently republish them elsewhere like HubPages or Helium or AC? Is that legal? Is it okay to do so?

Aussiepup113 Triond only accepts original content but after that you are allowed to use it anywhere that accepts previously published content like AC, HubPages, etc. I e-mailed Triond to make sure this was okay and they assured me it was. However, the more places you...

Aussiepup113 I have several articles with Triond and don't think any have ever been redirected. You can run an article through Articlechecker.com or Copyscape.com and see how many sites it appears on if you want to know if any have been redirected. Copyscape charges but...

Aussiepup113 Before you decide if Bush is a killer you must remember that we were attacked first and lost almost 4000 Americans on 911. These were innocent people who hadn't done anything to provoke the terrorists to kill them. As far as Iraq, well who knows for sure if we...

Did you cut your child's hair off because you couldn't deal with it?
