What???

Ok, so I was talking with a friend of mine and he said he wanted some oddball thing for his birthday this June. Something about a tm-t88iv or something. I just looked at him like he was crazier than a loon. I mean, why would he want a thermal printer??? He doesn’t need to print receipts out. o_O

In any case after I finished talking to him, I went to get the newspaper and my dog darted out. Normally this isn’t a problem, it means he has to go potty, so I waited a couple minutes for him. But he didn’t come back so I went out looking for him and didn’t see him. I’ve been all over the neighborhood – it’s cold (30°) and snowing, and frankly not a good time for him to be out wandering around. Unfortunately, he hasn’t returned and no matter where I’ve gone, I haven’t seen him. Seen lots of cat tracks, but nothing to indicate that he’s been there. I’m hoping beyond hope that he’ll find his way back home on his own, as if he doesn’t, I may never see him again.

[edit] I decided to take one more shot at looking for him at about 7:30 this morning. My hips, back, and knees are not happy about it, but I DID find him. He’d gone down the street, hung a right, went up the street and around the curve at the end. I found him on his way back. He was sniffing, so my only thought was that he was following his own scent home. BRAT DOG[/edit]

Who should get a tip??

After our experience with Pizza Hut last night, I’m sure that there are some managers that are hoping that their wait staff has their term life insurance paid up. You see, we had a big issue – and a lot of issues with our visit last night, and it took me probably 30 minutes just to type up the experience so that it was in a presentable form on Pizza Hut’s website. I didn’t want to sound like a rude person, but I wanted to get the point across that our service was way past unacceptable.

Which brings me to another thing… tipping. I have no problem tipping when the wait staff does what they are supposed to do…but if the wait staff isn’t being responsible, then I have a big problem with it. Tips are earned for giving good service. They should NOT be expected – and I dislike when restaurants automatically add tips for groups over a certain number of people. When that happens, the wait staff can be as rude as they like or give as poor service as they like and still get a tip because it’s automatically added to the check.

Now like I said – if the service is what it should be, I have no problem leaving a tip. It’s when the service is horrible that there’s a problem. What are your thoughts on tipping??

My friends and I did some running around today – mostly going to the bank and trying to get something to eat (took us TWO HOURS to get in and out of Pizza Hut, more on that later, probably on Charity Lynn) but I overheard some people at Pizza Hut talking about how they’ve already gotten their strategies for Christmas shopping set up. They plan on skipping Black Friday entirely and doing all their shopping online on Cyber Monday. My friends and I just rolled our eyes because we know how those plans work. The instant Black Friday rolls around, they’ll decide they can get something they wanted to buy online cheaper at the store if they get it on Friday at 5AM so they get up and brave the masses at Wally World to get it.

My way of doing it? Find out what everyone wants, then buy it online when I have the money. If it’s there for Christmas, good. If not, who cares? LOL They don’t care either.
