Yes it does, Tiger Woods should give at least a $500 tip to every selfish **** waitress who think that she is entitled to a slice of his fortune because she brought him lunch.

This story may actually win the tiptarding portion of this thread and hopefully we can stop arguing about Tiger Woods now^*:

Louis CK tells Matthew Perry tipping story

^*That was NOT a request.

No, the servers say they can't afford the service and/or food and if they can't pay the standard tip, they shouldn't be eating/drinking there.

To them, no excuse is a good excuse for leaving less than 15%. Food bad/cold/wrong, cooks fault. Bad service: too busy. Never their fault IMO.

I took my wife out to a very nice restaurant for our 1st anniversary, and our server actually brought out the dessert menu before our food had even arrived, she thought we had already been served, eaten it, and had it cleaned up. And they were at maybe half capacity.

If I ask for an orange juice in a dead restaurant and it takes 10 minutes to arrive the bitch is getting a $0 tip, end of story.

My friend once didn't tip a waitress who provided very poor service in a restaurant with one other party, where the waitress visibly spent most of her time chatting with other staff. She ran up to him as they were leaving and said "You HAVE to give me a tip!" "No I don't, your service was terrible" he replied. "But tips are my livelihood, blah blah."

Our culture of implied tipping is ridiculous at times.

Plus we're splitting it four wasy, so it really is about that mbch. It's a power trip for him, it's something he can hold onto that's still his.
My vote is for 72ish, but I know that will never happen.

Is the thermometer calibrated properly? Or maybe mine isn't. I set my a/c with no regard for the cost on the power bill and anything below 72 I start to get uncomfortably cold.

We like it freezing in the house. In the winter we sleep with the windows open and the fans on. We're thinking of getting a window a/c unit for our bedroom even though we have central air.

I know some people like this. When I slept at their house, I woke up in the middle of the night cause I was shivering and had a sore throat. That sucked.

I'm ~240ish and I start getting uncomfortable below 66. I find ~68 just about perfect.

Temperature is all relative.

I have the thermostat set at 82 degrees.

It's 112 outside today.

We had a thermostat setting thread a while back. There was a huge range of settings that people are comfy.

My mom likes to set hers at 84. I like it around 78. Both seem high with others listed here.

Oh well, that's a lot of electricity used to keep at 62.

Actually, some new research (which I got to see way before it was published, pretty sweet for science nerdiness) suggests that at ~60 F, the brown fat stores that adults have (which was a HUGE finding) get activated, burning calories for you to stay warm. If you can keep them activated, we're talking serious calorie burning, like enough to keep you skinny while eating like the typical overweight person.
