I always tip in cash because i heard that when its on a card sometimes the server doesn't get the tip. Is that a myth?

I also hate places that do tip sharing!

Do you want a cookie? Maybe a blue ribbon?

Yes, because when you come over for a beer or two, you'll have your own glass that will not get mistaken for someone else's glass. You're welcome.

Is that a big problem outside of the solo cup crowd?

Maybe for that particular bar you asked about, but not all of them and they still need to replace glasses. You know you can buy logo glasses right? Its a new fangled contraption called google/amazon.

Stop being a dirty thief and buy your own glasses.

You sure know a lot about the procurement function of every establishment you visit.

DH and I usually do this together on vacation. If our server is nice we just ask and they've always just left an empty when clearing.

Former waitress here. I thought everyone did this. Who are these holier than thou (not really) drinking glass nazis? Pathetic. Maybe we should report things they have done.

You mean people who don't steal things, and think stealing is wrong?

There are a lot of us.

Just don't pos thieves.

A little harsh overreaction, no? How are you about real crimes? LOL.

NP but stealing is a crime. Who do you think pays for the replacement.

So I probably paid for at least a dozen pint glasses in my youth. It really sucks to loose your tip plus some over people being drunk and stupid and stealing for the sake of memories or their collection of other stolen shit from bars.

I also worked in bars from the early aughts to the early teens and this was never a thing. More unscrupulous businesses would charge servers for plates they broke, though. Where did you work? (I was in D.C.).

Can you imagine "turning someone in" for such pettiness? What an empty (or guilty???) life.

I jaywalk on a fairly regular basis, but never when a car has the right of way and is anywhere nearby, because I'm paranoid.

I often do the California stop at stop signs when I'm alone at the intersection. Though I got pulled over for this by an unseen cop years ago, so I am more vigilant now.

I definitely see speed limits as suggestions, so i'm often going 32 or 35 in a 30. But I'm careful in school zones and respectful on residential streets.
