we're not here to talk about gay weddings in puerto rico? surely you jest! fine, i'll just speak for myself. glad you had a wonderful time (up until the end anyhow - yikes, but glad you're recovered and were able to get home ok!) and as always the food looks outstanding. i also have been enjoying the return of the recipe blog, thank you for that.
man...the tipping article...i think everyone has had every take possible on tipping already so i won't rant too much. but the one that always gets me is that delivery orders should be a % tip based on the cost of your meal. sorry but no, i'm never ever doing that. why should the driver delivering an expensive meal get more than any other driver who delivers a meal that costs less but requires the same drive time and the same size bag or box? it doesn't make sense at all. the driver didn't prepare the meal. i will tip more if it's a holiday and/or the weather is bad.
the same is true for amazon grocery deliveries - since the tip is for the driver and does not involve shopping or packing, just delivering, i do not tip based on cost but for the amount of stuff & the weight of it. the driver who has to schlep heavy things like kitty litter or cases of water should get more than the one who has to simply place one bag of steak dinner ingredients on your doorstep, regardless of whether the latter cost more.
and tipping for a bottle of water i picked up and brought to the register at a starbucks as the article suggests...LOL...no...i will never be doing that either XD (surely that is just meant to bait ppl like me into writing long pointless comments ;))
