My Self-Contained Dad...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 22 Nov 08

Talking to my Dad the other day, I realized something…he is pretty much self-contained. He has a farm where he grows all his own fruits and veggies, he raises his own cows-pigs-chickens-turkeys for meat and eggs, he has well water...

michaelkaer Most kids go through a stage like that. They will grow out of it. Just make sure that if you are serving a desert that the child must eat most of the meal set before them if they expect to get the yummy stuff.

beckyjgb @beckyjgb (67) • United States 16 Feb 07

michaelkaer At a sit down resturant I tip, usually about 15% I sometimes tip for delivery people, but not always. For take out, I would not tip. I do not understand why a person would expect a tip on take outs.
