QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:27 PM) And waiters at really nice places make far more than minimum wage. Sometimes I wonder why I bothered to go to college. I was pulling in $700 to $800 per week in cash back in the day, working part time.

For those that missed Hawk's epic explosion.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 29, 2012 -> 12:44 PM) I know someone who puts a stack of 10 one-dollar bills on the table and tells the server "This is your tip. Every time you mess up, I take away a dollar." I always thought that was a good idea, but a ballsy one too. QUOTE (Tex @ May 29, 2012 -> 12:48 PM) I ripped a $20 in two and explained to a bartender and a Snuggery (back in the day) it wasn't worth anything to either of us. His tip would be the other half if he took care of us. he did and made a few more bucks from us. It became a regular thing until he got to know us. This would be enough reason for me to be a terrible server to that person. I'd focus my time and efforts on other tables.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 29, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) Servers had to do that? At Chilis, hosts get the high chairs and crayons, bus boys clean up any messes or spills. Depends on the restaurant.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ May 29, 2012 -> 12:21 PM) I'm pretty sure the inclusion of our 3-month old in the count to bump it up to auto gratuity was on the waitress as well. I understand there are a lot of things that the wait staff can't control, but really that was the topper for the night on top of everything else. Honestly, we probably would've left something had she not tried a BS move like that. Even though an infant will not order a meal many servers, including myself back in the day, will look at is as additional work for that table. "Can you grab us a high chair?" "Can we get some crackers?" "Can we get some crayons?" "Can you clean up this drink my kid knocked over?" etc. I had no problem adding infants to the headcount of a table when it turned out I had to perform additional work.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 28, 2012 -> 07:26 PM) I agree with you 100%. I just thought it was funny coming from Hawk who was one of Ozzie's biggest supporters/apologists when he was here. Let's face it. Is Hawk ever critical of someone wearing currently our uniform?

Still plenty of time.

If Boston were to sneak away with a win tonight it would be a nice ending to a great weekend.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 28, 2012 -> 03:12 PM) What a Memorial Day Weekend has it been! You're beginning to sound like Yoda.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 28, 2012 -> 03:09 PM) Can't someone at CSN tell Melton its Sale not Sales? It shouldn't be that hard.

Took me a while but I am now convinced this team is a contender.

He definitely should get one more inning.

An absolutely stellar episode of Mad Men.

Happy birthday old timer!

Strangest headline I've seen in a while: Naked Man Allegedly Eating Victim's Face Shot And Killed By Miami Police

Down 10-0 right now. I'm starting to think this might not be a very good ball club this year.

Yay Gavin

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2012 -> 12:25 PM) Look at the attendance figures. You make it seem as though every game Mark pitched was a guaranteed sellout. And you obviously don't understand baseball economics either if you feel we needed to sign him to a huge multi-year deal for tens of millions of dollars.

Happy birthday nerds.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 25, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) watch snob spotted ^^^^ LOL I could care less about watches to be honest. It's the "I don't give two s***s about "X" so nobody else should care about it either" attitude people have about things. If you don't like it fine. I'm sure these same people have things they're really into for no good reason whether it be expensive cars, clothing, or whatever. EDIT: I bet there's people following this "argument" who would only purchase official Sox jerseys for $200 and would laugh at a $50 imitation.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ May 25, 2012 -> 03:34 PM) Coming from the guy who's been the most negative and pouted the entire season because the only reason he is a Sox fan is now coaching in Miami. Hilarious Heh
