I sent a package from a thousand miles away, do you think Adam and Drew got it?...

I sent a package full of lets say 'cultural sweets' to Adam and Drew over roughly 10 days ago, has Adam or Drew mentioned it or that as I haven't listened completely to all the latest shows of the past week or so. Or have they at all said that they got anything or do you think they'll get it!... I sent the package to the address that one of the guys on here sent almonds to last year on Adam's birthday and Adam got them. The address that I used that they were sucessful in using was posted here about December, no, May time!... Anyway, do you think that still works or do you think that thhe station hasn't forwarded it or that? It was a dated package and said where it came from...
I sent it with both their first names attachted...

I'm not sure why you think we would know, but I do know that it took about three weeks or so for something to be sent to me from Texas. So depending on where you are in the country and which mail service you used it could take a while.

Sorry, I was typing while trying to throw off someone who was next to me at the time from knowing what I was doing... I sent a bunch of sweets that reflect the place I live, Scotland! I sent some sweets that are native to here, like a type of fudge and microon's and stuff... including the shipping it cost me about 35 dollars, I sent it standard Royal Mail at a post office, that way I don't know how long it will take to arrive but the person who accepts the package does have to place a signature to get it in their possesion, thinks me...

Anyway, I'm just wondering if it's kinda likely at all if the package will get to them, that's all... or if they've mentioned it at all...

and the reason I was asking is because here you have to sign for all mail if you're the reciptient, for exmaple the person who's name it is, has to sign for it or it won't get accepted and I don't know if that's the way you guys work as Adam or Drew themselves I guess would have to put their signature on it to get it, so I'm just wondering basically if it's likely one of the other people who work there will have got it or at all will have been able to physically sign for it and get it?...

I don't know Serfer, but it seems to be the new trend, there's tip jars for counter jockeys all over the twin cities, and I always feel obligated to throw something in there even when they clearly don't deserve it. At least with Cold Stone, I can make them work for their tip. :)

I go to the same three or four restaurants all the time, so it's kind of in my best interest to tip.

You don't have to tip people at Subway or Starbuck's, and you only have to leave a couple of bucks at a buffet or something, but unless you're actively lobbying for the government to apply the minimum wage to waiters, you really should just figure a tip as a given when dining out.

There are certain professions that lend themselves to tips.

What next, Lawyers, Bankers, Doctors? Lets see, whats 15% of $3000.00? Fuck that.

When I said I never tip anyone, the "anyone" I was referring to was random people who work at ice cream stores and places like that. I usually give the pizza guy an extra dollar. However, I don't really have to tip that much unless I go to a restaurant with just my friends. We usually eat in though. My parents pay for everything, so they handle the tipping. I used to like to figure out how much they deserved though.

Some people you HAVE to tip, in order to ensure that you don’t have butt-hair, spit, or semen on your food the next time you order. Pizza boys would fall neatly under this category. I ALWAYS tip them, if I don’t have enough for a tip, then I just plain don’t order the pizza. Three dollars is usual, but I like to go with four, just to be safe.

You’re supposed to do 15% in a restaurant, I think, and 20% for good service. My friends always think they are giving a good tip when they tip six dollars for a meal that cost $50 total. That’s lower than 15%, but they just don’t get it. I’m always embarrassed, especially when the service was extra good, and they don’t chip in enough, so I try to make up the difference.

It’s an unspoken rule between the Pizza Boy and Customer. The first time they don’t fuck with it. It’s your action or inaction that will determine the amount of foreign substance on your pizza. All bets are off, however, if you get rude with them on the phone. You get rude with them on the phone, it’s best just cancel the order, wait till that person quits, change your number, or order from a different place.

EDIT: At restaurants you do sort of take your chances, but as long as you don’t send the food back to be “fixed” because the cook fucked up you should be okay. I once had totally raw filleted steak at Applebee’s once, and I wasn’t going to send it back, I just wasn’t going to eat it. The waitress noticed that it made me gag though, and insisted on taking it back, and promised me the cook wouldn’t do anything to it (I told her, no way, I’m not sending it back, sending things back is bad news, and she knew exactly what I meant). Still, he probably did something to it, but at least it was done.

Usually if something is like $9.50, then I'll just give them $10 and MAYBE another dollar. One time, I was ordering Chinese food and when the guy came, I gave him a $2 tip and then he was like "Where's my tip?", so I told him that I just gave it to him. Then, he looked at the money and said something about how it wasn't enough. Sooo, I decided that he didn't deserve any tip and I just shut the door. I think I should have told him to give me the $2 back. I would have had a personal chuckle if I did that. I always have very little patience with the people at Chinese restaurants. They're so annoying and don't fucking speak English!

Let me tell you, as a pizza delivery person (yeah I know its a crap job but I'm still in school) I've often been tempted to defile people's food. I haven't done it, because I think its completely wrong to fuck with people's food, but I know other delivery people who DO fuck with a customer's food if they have a reputation for not tipping. I won't go into details so as not to gross you out, but suffice it to say, that extra flavor you taste on your pizza, it has human origins. :) I don't understand why you would tip at a restaurant, but not when someone is bringing food to your house. We pay our own gas, get paid minimum wage and have to deal with angry retarded white trash all day. Trust me, a 3.00 tip is appreciated, anything less than 2.00 and it makes you angry and resentful. Instead of defiling people's food what I do is take their orders last, so if you don't tip, chances are you're waiting for your pizza an extra 10-15 minutes. Just some FYI.

I bartended in restaurants for ten years and, yes, cooks will fuck with your food. It doesn't happen a lot and usually is only a case where they think the customer/server is being anal about the temperature or just plain wrong. Most of the time, they just play passive-aggressive games with the wait staff. They're usually cool with bar staff and customers, but that's cause we get 'em drunk later.

Oh, and a word about tipping bartenders. If you want strong drinks and quick service, especially in a crowded bar/restaurant tip big THE FIRST TIME. Trust me you will be remembered and likely hooked up the next time. And you become a candidate for free drinks. After the first big tip you don't even have to tip so big the next couple of times, just give a good amount then on the fourth or fifth round, hit 'em with a little extra again. But if you stiff them or expect to be hooked up BEFORE you tip big, then prepare to always be last when it comes time for your next round.

And one last thing, don't whine too much about your drinks either, cause you'll get some bodily fluid floaters or some of the runoff from the bar mats. And frozen drinks and milkshakes are a pain in the ass, complain about them at your own risk.

And ladies (and by this I mean guys who order them too), don't bitch that you can't taste the liquor in your strawberry daiquiri. You're actually not supposed to, if it's made right. If you want to taste the liquor order a shot or pay for a double (or see the extravagant tipping after the first drink rule). Nothing more pathetic than a grown man sipping a daiquiri and whining that it's not strong enough...YA PANSY. Many times all we do is poor a little bit of liquor down the straw. When they take a drink, they get a mouthful of straight well vodka and that usually shuts them up.

We always tip the pizza person like $3, which I guess is an appropriate percentage since we usually only spend about $12. I think I wind up "eating out" at somewhere like Applebees once a year. The one time I ordered a plain hamburger and it was served with cheese, the waitress noticed as soon as she served it, and took it back.

chances are you're waiting for your pizza an extra 10-15 minutes.

I have VERY little patience when I'm waiting for something, so if the pizza takes a long time, I like to yell at the pizza guy. I've just always enjoyed making the pizza guy uncomfortable. I don't know why. One time my sister answered the door naked, which was so funny. I also like to threaten that I'm not going to pay because the guy gets really nervous. I can only do that when my mom isn't home because she always yells at me for harassing the pizza man. She's no fun.

At restaurants you do sort of take your chances, but as long as you don’t send the food back to be “fixed” because the cook fucked up you should be okay.

I always send the food back because I don't understand how the cook could get it wrong. They have it written down for them. If they fuck it up, then they deserve to fix it. My dad goes overboard with it though. He'll send something back if it tastes fine, but doesn't look right. He's so gay, no offense PB. I'm sure waiters and cooks hate me because I like very specific things and I don't tip well. However, if I go to the restaurant where my friend works, I tip him really well.

Well Mandee, really all that means is you've eaten a lot of spit, boogers, butt-hair, mop-water, and possibly semen over the years. I guess if you're fine with that, then there's really no problem.

I like very specific things and I don't tip well. - Mandee

See, kiddies, stereotypes are true.

Mandee I have to say you do make yourself sound like quite the stereotype.
Along with your dad.

We always tip really well, and we eat out a fair amount (okay so did I mention that I suck as a cook?) some places we go they know us, because we are such regulars. I always tip the pizza guy well, unless I accidentally am a little short on cash - but then I usually just order less so I can tip. I don't think I've ever not tipped. It's unusual for me to complain about my food too and I've never worried about dirty food too much. I do know there are some places I've eaten and felt it wasn't clean enough so we don't go back.

I'm just not into tipping at the ice cream place or other sandwich places where I go for lunch and have to stand at the counter for my food. Like you said PB, what's next? Tip jar at Burger King? I think NOT!

We completely are the rich, reform, Jewish stereotype. I'm not offended when anyone says it because I know it's true.

is your sister hot? post pictures.

I'm sure there are pictures of her somewhere, but I'm not going to post them because of people like you, lol.

I have VERY little patience when I'm waiting for something, so if the pizza takes a long time, I like to yell at the pizza guy. I've just always enjoyed making the pizza guy uncomfortable.

I usually don't deal at all with the pizza guy, I'm afraid of the pizza guy--I have no idea where that phobia came from, but it takes all kinds, right? I make my husband answer the door whenever we order pizza. Once, many years ago, I decided I'd try to conquer my fear and ordered a pizza when I didn't have a man at hand to answer the door. I reasoned that all these thousands of times I'd ordered pizza nothing weird had happened so everything should be ok... Well, the pizza finally came and the creepiest guy I'd ever seen in my life was delivering it and just KEPT on standing there staring at me and wigging me out... It was SOOOO bizarre.

>>I make my husband answer the door whenever we order pizza.

My mom does the exact same thing. She actually gets up and runs to another room and shuts the door. I get nervous whenever I have to interact with anyone, and the pizza guy is no different.

I get nervous about interacting with others also, which I suppose is why the pizza guy bothers me so much. Not only is he another person, but he's coming to MY house, my safe place, so I guess I feel like he's intruding on my territory.

(Maybe I should pee on the carpet or something.)

The pizza guy is my best friend! He bears food, and sometimes free Häagen-Dazs. What's not to love? I'm friendlier with the pizzaman then any other person.

Well, I guess not. I do make him wait outside while I eat a slice before he gets paid. I don't pay people hungery. No tip either.

Your pizza man brings free Häagen-Dazs? You got his number handy?

Damn...That's in Portland, yes? The Häagen-Dazs will be melted by the time he gets to Louisville, and I will have died of starvation by then too.

It's no big loss, catloaf. There like 1/4 pint size. But hey, you could have it UPS'd, then no pizzaman will i
