My daughter works at an Applebee's restaurant in Florida. She is a lower level manager and bartender, but also sometimes works as a server. Back in June she served a "gentleman" who was very friendly and talkative and he left her...

Tom Lucas That was exactly why she sought out the managers' opinions and why they held the money for a week. In retrospect, maybe they should have held it for a month, but what it all comes down to is that she EARNED whatever tip the guy saw fit to leave ON THE DAY...

Tom Lucas She really wouldn't be entitled to anything more that the $300 itself if she was successful (which I fully believe she would have been). He likely would have only spent a nominal additional amount for a filing fee in small claims court.

Tom Lucas He would have a tough way to go, but the time and effort and bad PR ultimately wouldn't offset the $300 tip.

Tom Lucas I think he would have had some issues fighting it given that HE wrote the amount, HE added it up and HE signed it; but it really wasn't worth the bad PR or the time/effort for the store or my daughter to challenge him on it.

Tom Lucas I agree. If he MEANT to leave $3, he should have asked for $297 back. I suppose since he thought they were trying to steal from him that she deserved nothing... But he even said to the manager he was upset because she 'seemed so nice' when she waited on him....

Tom Lucas The ONLY thing I can figure is that maybe he did not notice the charge until his credit card statement came in the mail. But even in that case it didn't warrant his rude and threatening behavior.

Tom Lucas That would have been the generous thing to do, but for whatever reason, this man was not in a generous frame of mind.

One of my goals this year was to get more organized in my home. I did get a headstart a couple of months ago, but lately I've been slacking off. There's just so much to do, it feels overwhelming. But I'm determined to get the job...

Tom Lucas @dramagirl26 Yes. Although in fairness, a good portion of it was my dad's doing. He had stuff up in the attic (only accessible through a trap door in the top of the garage) and that was at least 15 or 20 bags of trash! She also made about $500 one weekend...

I have the good fortune of living less than ten minutes away from one of the best amusement parks in the world = Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. I moved here after college for a job, that was almost 20 years ago. I had visited...

Tom Lucas Yes, we get a lot of use out of our passes, but we probably wouldn't get nearly as much use if we didn't live so close. That is the primary reason we can go so often. The additional benefit is that the passes are also good at any of Cedar Points sister parks....

Tom Lucas @paigea I understand. When I first signed up, it would not let me add a website or a bio to my profile -- those options were grayed out and said I needed that user rating of 10. I suppose it is a security mechanism to prevent bot created accounts designed to...
