What's sick and sad is wasting that wine on mediocre food that costs way more than necessary. The markup on water might be expected but $30 asparagus?! And that's not even counting the markup on the wine. Russians!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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 kind of looked at Marshall's and Filene's Basement the other day, but didn't have this exact thing in my head yet. But I don't think they had what I was looking for, even still. I think msbelle's Solution solution is the winner. It's exactly the right size, shape, and style!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm disappointed that google.co.uk doesn't have anything Guy Fawksey up. Gunpowder, treason, and plot!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
A common breakdown of tip-out percentages:
Food runners: ~2% of food sales
Bartenders: ~10% of drink sales (including N/A drinks)
Bussers: ~2-3% of total sales
Maitre'd/host: ~1% of total sales
If two or more waiters are working the table, they split it however they feel appropriate. That was a hell of a tip-out night, for sure.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Camouflage cheongsam.
It should be more shiny. Of course that would make it less camouflaged. Unless you live in a land of shiny things.

Food runners: ~2% of food sales
Wait a sec, so when I tip 20%, only 2% goes to the waitress (assuming it's a tip-pooling establishment)? And more goes to the busser? That's insane! It's the waitstaff that has to put up with the customer b.s.
