Looks like Google is celebrating Sesame Street all week long--today, it's Cookie Monster.
COOKIE!
Maybe someday me can overcome me addiction to cookies. On second thought, no. Me like cookies too much.
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

All that booze definitely added to it, but did you look at the prices on the rest of it? A large water for $12.00???

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Jesse -- try a department store discounter like Ross, TJs, Filenes. Housewares there are effing insane, but I would guess you'd need to find a spacious store in the suburbs.
I know Dana is not moving to Thailand, but I thought it would be awesome to be an expat in Bangkok, or especially Chiang Mai.

I'm assuming that's a large bottle of some fancy premium bottled water - not just a large glass. (I mean, it's still a lot of money, but it's not an unusual markup for that kind of restaurant.)
[Before tax & tip, if you take out the wine it's a $1600 bill. Which is still a lot, but at least it's a number my brain can cope with - it's the difference between saving a month's wages vs a year's.]

Shit's all sorts of different now.
A $47,000 restaurant tab
My question: Who gets the $7300 gratuity??

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Who gets the $7300 gratuity??
In the blog posting, he talks about it:
he told me that tips are pooled at Nello’s and that night’s glorious take was divided up among fifteen employees - waiters, food runners, bartenders, bus people and a maitre’d. In a pool house it’s common to divvy up the tips according to a percentage formula. And while the waiter at Nello’s wouldn’t tell me what that formula was, it’s obvious that everyone had a nice pay day!

The linked post asked the same question, and the poster called the restaurant and spoke to the waiter for that dinner. According to him, the restaurant puts all tips into a pot and everyone splits it, from the maitre'd to the bus boys, on a percentage basis.
