This article on another kind of tipping has been making the rounds, and it's well worth a read, even if you live in Chicago, where it doesn't seem too hard to get into even the best restaurants. I'm headed through New York next week, but unfortunately I don't have the petty cash for this kind of adventure. Maybe next time?
I don't know that times have changed. I think this was probably the rule for a very long time. Of course, I usually get a seat near the dumpsters when I go out, so what do I know?
Do you think this will get me to the front of the line at Wendy's? Maybe I should try it at Applebee's next time, too.
Thanks for the article reference. This was one I really enjoyed reading. Funny how times have changed with regard to tipping.
