Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yay new job, Kat!!
I guess the quotation marks refer to how trivial it is to find, once you know how, and is casting aspersions on the development team and the integrity of the publishers.
That's ass, though -- you have to download something separate! I'm not saying it's hard, but a three-year-old banging on the controls will not randomly end up watching porn.
It's considered rude for a waiter to drop a check without the customer asking first
I did not know this.
Yeah, some customers see it as being rushed out the door. Sometimes it *is* an attempt to rush the customers out the door.
This is what I learned from reading Tom Sietsema's chat on the Washington Post website. However, I never heard about paying in cash!
But, also, why is a three-year-old messing with GTA unsupervised anyway?
Ask for the check. Sounds simple right? It's considered rude for a waiter to drop a check without the customer asking first.
I did not know this.
I don't think this SOP in most restaurants I've been in.
But, also, why is a three-year-old messing with GTA unsupervised anyway?
Because no one but manufacturers is responsible for what people see.
There are a lot of restaurants here that don't take cards at all.
I guess bringing you the check is like hurrying you out of there so they can seat sopmeone else? Because whenever a waiter brings me my check they say "No hurry on this, I'm just leaving it here, take care of it when you're ready". Which works well for me.
The credit card thing I'm not gonna worry about. Most of the places I eat, the total is not enough for the fee to be much (if it's done as a percentage, if it's a per transaction fee the restaurant can tack on a credit card use fee to the bill, or not accept credit cards), and if it's somewhere expensive, I'm sure my overtipping covers the credit card fee. If I have to get cash before I go to dinner, I probably won't be able to impulsively get extra appetizers or dessert, my bill will be lower, and so will the tip (in absolute terms).
Sorry about your throat, msbelle.
Because no one but manufacturers is responsible for what people see.
Yup. It's those damn manufacturers that are giving those kids the $50 it costs to buy the game. Lieberman has been on this crusade for a while.
What makes you think I ordered one?
Call it intuition. Thanks!
I don't think this SOP in most restaurants I've been in.
Yeah, otherwise I'd still be in one somewhere ... I think I ask for the cheque maybe 10% of the time. And only 20% of the times I don't, would I say the cheque was late coming.
msbelle, sounds like you have what meara does. Don't let it get that bad, will you?
Tommy, for some reason it's taken me this long to remember that my star sign is half goat. Now I'm a bit weirded out.
what did meara give ME!!???!!
seriously if it is actually "something", I am gonna give my Dr. what for.
hmm, looks like I will be doing business travel twice in the next two weeks. Fancy.
I don't think this SOP in most restaurants I've been in.
Yeah, the SOP I see most often is the waiter will ask you if you're ready for the check.
