What should I do if I eat at a restaurant and then realize I forgot my wallet?
This happened to me once. When I was a poor college student, I had a Chinese restaurant that I went to fairly often. As it turned out, one day I had forgotten my wallet.I was terrified they'd kick me out or call the police or something. Nevertheless, I rather sheepishly explained the situation to the waiter. I told him I'd just run home and get it - I'd even leave my phone as collateral so they knew I'd be good for it. There must have been a certain pleading tone to my voice, I imagine.The waiter laughed and said it was no problem. He told me I didn't need to leave any form of collateral - they knew I was good for it. I did anyway, and I ran home, came back, and paid them over profuse apologies. I think they were amused that I was so contrite. I also left a massive tip for their trouble.Odd thing is, whenever I went back, I got treated as close to a king as a small Chinese restaurant can treat a customer. They knew I was a good customer beforehand (and I tipped well) and now they knew I was trustworthy.I've done this once or twice since then and I've always been straight with them. They've always understood and I was treated especially well after I came back and paid.Just be straight and honest with them. You might get an asshole that wants a pound of flesh, but generally they'll be good about it.
Seattle Weather any good for Motorcycle Riding?
I commute year round on my motorcycle in the Seattle area. As a bike commuter, I am sure you know the value of a bike with ABS and good tires. Much of your experience with bike commuting will be determined by how far you go. The Seattle area has weather phenomenon that is not well known: variable weather and micro-climates. During a commute home, I have gone from sunny skies, to showers, to hail, sleet, back to showers and then sunny skies once again. Absolutely crazy. So you could leave work in Renton (south end of Seattle) and drive to home in Lynwood (North side of Seattle) and experience the same thing. You have to be prepared for anything. As crazy as it sounds, I actually want rain during the winter. Most of Seattle is low lying, we get a lot of fog in the mornings. If the winter weather is clear, it can be cold; (below freezing) so there's a chance for black ice and the streets can be really slick. When it rains it's going to be warmer and therefore safer on the bike. The conditions have to be just right to get snow, for a bike commuter it's only about 2-4 weeks a year that snow can shut you down. As rare a snow is; so are heavy rains, usually it's just sprinkles/spitting rain. As long as you have a rain suit you should be good most of the time. On a motorcycle, it's always an adventure.
