odd five is almost over. this year has flown by. that is, up until this week. this week seemed to creep by.
so, what am i up? tonight, heather and i will take my dad out to dinner and a show for xmas. we're seeing something called forever plaid. hopefully it will be good. maybe i'll blog about the show. i think it's a 4 man show, songs and stuff. but we'll see.
let me ask you a question. for this dinner & show, we bought tickets in advance. this doesn't cover drinks and stuff. anyway, what's the appropriate tip for our waiter? again, we've already paid for the meal and stuff. and that cost includes the show. the ticket price was like $35 each.

For me, it'd be 20% of the total cost of meal and drinks, or the closest estimate you can make.
yeah, that's normal, but i didn't know if i should include the show portion of the cost.
now, after being there, turns out that they give you a bill. the bill shows your prepaid portion, whatever drinks, desserts, etc that you had that night, and gives a suggested tip based off of the meal amount + new stuff.
so, i then knew what was the "meal" portion of the cost and could tip appropriately.
That's wise on their part, I would not have included the show cost.
