I love being called "hon" or "sweetie" or "darlin'", especially by the older, more matronly looking waitresses. It's just nice. It works best at diners, small or family type restaurants. I usually end up ordering a piece of pie when they are like that or whatever dessert that is "simply the best in these parts".

Not so sure I'd like it at a high class upscale fancy restaurant and if the waiter was a dude.

I don't understand why anyone would pay another tip on top of the one included (referring to smooths post). Is this standard procedure or expected?

Also, I don't get the delivery charge. Presumably it should go to the driver, why would they only get $.50 of it? It just sounds like getting charged twice for the same service.
