Pretty much.



I'd also like to add, that at least from the server's point of view, if you leave a truly excellent tip (as in, more than 20%, getting up into the 40% range), pretty much anything you do will be forgiven. And we WILL remember you the next time you come in. Conversely, if you run us constantly, ask for everything on the side, let your kids make a mess, camp out at the table, and leave a really BAD tip...we'll remember that, too.

Oh, and just a personal pet peeve of mine... when your server asks "how are you tonight?" replying with "I'll have a coke," is just annoying and rude. A blank stare, or flat-out ignoring the server when they ask a question is also annoying and rude.

I think everything else has been covered... but like I said, I'm pretty laid-back... you can do every annoying thing in the book, as long as you take care of me (monetarily speaking), all is forgiven.


Edit: Wait, thought of one more. If you go to church, please, please, PLEASE do not leave those little brochures. They're a complete waste of paper... no one takes them seriously, and they get pitched immediately.
