I don't like parades. ...Thanksgiving is coming up. Then New Year's. That means there will be parades.... and they will be replayed all day on TV >_<
I don't like parades. I don't quite understand the big deal. I mean.... maybe one parade once in a while is nice but..... how can people stand alll the parades? The homecoming parade, the Maccy's Day Parade, the gay pride arade, the Thanksgiving parade, the New Year's parade..... Ahhhh! Why the hell do you want to look at all the people dance and walk or play and walk or wave and ride ?!?!?! ....I can't explain my dislike for parades.... i find them boring.
Parades - YAWN!
Today I rode the bus to school. When I was about 10 minutes away from school, and the bus was almsot empty (there was only one other person in the bus besdies me and the driver) this young lady walks in. And although the us is filled with empty seats she sits right next to me o_o Not that it bothers me but I find it odd. I mean generally we don't sit next right next to other people if we can avoid it or unless we know them. I guess that is part of what our culture teaches us... how far t stand from someone... or sit from them. And I don't know why, although there must have been like 20 or more empty seats, she chose to sit right next to me.
Meh, at least she was some girl. Not some old smelly bum perv. but still.... i found it slightly humerous and slightly strange.
People Sitting Right Next To You Even Though All The Other Seats Are Empty - AAAAWKWARD
Finally, tipping. I am not a fan of the tipping. First of all, now and days so many restaurants incldue a 'gratuity fee' in the bill. That should cover the tipping. Nonetheless, evem if it didn't or ifit was not included.... WHY THE HELL MUST WE TIP? I mean, serving us our food is PART OF THEIR JOB! They are supposed to treat us well and take care of their needsfor the sake of the business and therefore for the sake of their jobs. We shouldn't reward them for doing their job corrctly by giving them extra money. I mean.... it's a bit stupid if you think about it. lots of people do nice things for us, as part of their job. We don't tip police officers for checking or firemen or nurses or professors.
Sometiems we tip our accountants or our mechanics if they do an outstanding job and we want to keep them happy and make sure they keep serving us. That is udnerstandable. Some tax preparors are simply better than others. And the difference between them can mean we loose a lot of money and get auditer or we get a refund or at least avoid problems witht eh government. But waitoring..... ne waitor from the other doesn't differ much. Sure, one waitor could give you an attitude and forget half your order and the other can greet you friendly and be attentitve to all your needs but that doesn't mean the second one did such a great job that you should go out of your way to give them extra money.... it just means the first one is a terrible waitor. But we shouldn't reward the other one for doing their job right...
Not that they shouldn't be rewarded. They should. BY THEIR EMPLOYERS! And if you have extra money or if you really like your waitor or waitress then fine, tip them, I would too if the waitor or waitress did a really outstanding job in taking care of all my needs and made me happy to be in the restaurant. However.... it should be a reward for doing an AMAZING job and exceeding realistic expectations of what a waitor should do. Or... at least it should be taken as a hint that they are doing a good job and to keep up the good work. It shouldn't be something to be expected, like something that comes with the job.
And yes, I was a waitress myself. And I was a damn good one, not to be conceidet. I have a great people skills on the job but I ever expected to be tipped simple because I served the food. Serving the food was part of my job. My 'reward' was my wages. If I was tiped (and I usually was, and very generously) then it was great. However, I treated all the costumers with kindness and I was attentitve to all of them, without expecting tips. And I think that is how it should be. Waitors should not expect a 15% tip. That is plain ridiculous. They jsut serve food. often times they forget part of our order or they are not attentive or lack costumer service skills. Fine, the employers did a bad job of training them or maybe the mistake was hiring them epriod. Nonetheless, you will serve me my food, as required by your job, and I shall eat it and when I am finished I shall pay my bill and leave a $1 tip no matter how much I paid for. Consider yourself lucky.
Tipping Waitors - BAD IDEA!Anyways.... those are just my silly thoughts.
Well I'm off :-)
-A cat that does not like to tip unless it is truly deserved, in whichc ase, sure I'll be generous in my tipping, I may even tip 15% of ym bill, and if you did an uber uber job maybe more.
