(She asked if there was anything she could do to make it easier for me to attend the "Goodbye Department" party on Thursday. It's probably not a good idea for me to respond with "LOTS OF EXTRA BOOZE" while I'm recovering from a hematocrit of 22 after 6 months of teetotaling, right?)
"LOTS OF EXTRA BOOZE AND A STEAK?"
Happy Birthday, Laura!
Jessica, that's why I tip in cash, too, even if I pay on a card.
Tipping on the card means the tip has to be legally reported as income and taxes are taken out, and frequently means that tips will be pooled and divvied up at the end of the month. Cash means I hand the guy cash and he keeps it.
Also, the card companies charge the business a fee, and sometimes the business will take the fee out of the tip.
No, it's not tommy, but some of them do it.

I didn't know that. Thanks; I usually pay and tip delivery folk in cash, anyway, but now I will make sure to always tip in cash.
Steve always leaves cash tip for all reasons listed above.

A few more things on
Strigoi:
Here's the trailer - [link] A lot of the soundtrack is the band Beirut, which is a little odd but works. Also, here is my favorite line from the movie, which I suspect is a lot funnier if you know the culture. "The Communists stole my dog so it couldn't bark when the Gypsies came." ::snort:: I was laughing a lot more than the friend who went with me who was not familiar with Romanian culture.
