I will say that the tipping a penny thing probably doesn't work the way it's intended
I figure a low tip or a zero tip are more likely to be interpreted as cheap, and that a penny looks more purposeful. And if they don't get the message, well, they didn't do enough to earn extra of my money so why should they have it? I don't care if they erroneously think I'm a cheap person--if I'm going to complain to the manager they're still not getting my tip.
Jilli - have you ever seen the cartoon "Growing Up Creepie"? I figure I'm WAAAAY behind the curve in asking this, but it occured to me the other day as Emeline was watching it.

I also think that if the service was bad enough to leave a penny tip, I'm probably not going back to that restaurant anyway, so they can think whatever they want.
Oh, no. How awful.
CNN has a bit more detail, but no information on who did it or why, just that it was two people (eta: they just updated from "two people" to "two people in military uniforms"--shit and damn) and one is still at large.
Oh, man, the questions. That's horrific.
For Billytea (and anyone else who needs to stop hitting refresh on the Ft Hood story) - baby echidnas.
