QUOTE (acid911 @ Dec 31 2008, 02:09 PM)  Finally, I can get rid of this dreaded glory hunter signature. I've also got less than five hours to choose a new year's resolution. The fact that I forget the resolution come January 2 is another thing. If you didn't make it in time to choose one, I suggest you choose the one in your previous sentence! Once it's done, it won't matter if you forget it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Why is it there anyway, did you lose a bet? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In America you would make much more... Maybe around 2 to $300 on a night like that... Thing is... £35 is probably worth more...

I think you'd earn here in Zagreb also more. Tips is one thing that we're more then generous here.

Tips isn't really an English thing to be honest, that's why people probably don't get so much here. I was amazed when I went over to the US at the amount of tips I had to leave! |

In the US, it's considered appropriate to leave a tip of around 15% at restaurants. Bars aren't quite under the same unwritten rule, but if your pint of lager costs $8, you'd probably leave the barman one of the two $1 bills you get in change.

Thing is I'm still 2 years under the legal age over the pond (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) That's a good tip night really, I mean I've been tipped quite a bit before in one-off's by entourages (whom just happen to be Americans!) but as for just the general public that's good going over here! Stupid tight English! |
