I don't believe there is any reason to walk out without paying - that's a dine-in-dash. However, there are a number of reasons why you might ask the management to comp a meal. If the service is extremely slow, more than 30 mins for your meal to arrive at a diner (like Denny's) or an hour at an up scale place, WHEN the food arrives (or before) ask to speak to the manager (or go find one). Tell them of your complaint. Unless you have some place to go, give them the chance to remedy the situation (comp your meal or something). Don't offer a solution; let them offer what they can do to make you happy. If they refuse to do anything, then tell them you are leaving, will happily pay for what you've consumed up to the point your dinners were delivered, but not going to pay for the actual meal. Most often, you'll get something for your troubles.As for legal repercussions for a dine-in-dash, it is considered theft. When I was the night manager for a Village Inn, I often had police stopping in for coffee. On one occasion I had a young couple dine-in-dash and gave a description to the police who just happen to find them down the street. Charges were pressed and they ended up with a misdemeanor on their record, which is to say, if the get caught again it could become a felony and jail time. This was ONE case out of several who were never caught.Personally, if someone can't pay due to lack of money, I'd rather they come talk to me first. As a manager I might find it possible to provide some charity. I have little to no taste for thievery. Still, as I said earlier, I only know of one case out of perhaps a half dozen in the 3 years I managed the restaurant at night, who were actually charged with anything.
I give up. Shall I just leave 'answers.yahoo' or tell why I go? Who cares?
It's interesting to see how many people are interpreting this question totally out of their subjective view, not even checking the other answers and questions from the asker... By the way, you might not have noticed it, but BeiYin has opened the access to his Q&A. Reading his answers, one can see that he reacted probably out of frustration, especially when one can see that he didn't get the 'best answer' just because the asker voted for an absolutely silly answer, what shows that he/she didn't at all understand B's answer. When there are mostly silly answers, one can see that these are given to gain points and these people don't even read the other answers, so then it seems that the spend energy for answering was wasted. But I wait what BeiYin will comment to the many answers... Rahmona Edit: BeiYin, I don't want to compare you with Jesus, but I imagine that you feel similar when Jesus after years of trying to lift people from their ignorance to a more advanced view, he could see that his intention was of little use. People were listening to him, because it was entertaining and they were not having in those days TV, movies or Internet. But he realized that he was alone and nobody really moved. So when he was accused of conspiration, he didn't defend himself. It didn't make sense to continue and he gave up... I can see that you don't give up and I understand your choice to leave this place, going on to try other possibilities. I believe your idea to make more videos will be effective. I'm waiting to watch them! R. Edit: I would participate in such a dangerous forum! Trusting that nobody wants to hurt me intentionally, but knowing that I will feel hurt, because this is part of the growing and just defense reactions. So the pain is not possible to avoid, but being with people who understand this will help to go beyond. Yes, definitively I would be part of such a forum. I'm tired of this answers.ya kindergarten games. Although there are a few good people here trying their best but would participate, because they are here because there is no better place to go... There is no hope that yahoo will change anything in the setup of 'answers'. The success they have by offering playground for the masses is reason enough not to allow a change. I'm pretty new here and I was attracted by the good possibilities, but I see now that I will not stay much longer. So go ahead... Rah
Because living and dying are two separate things. When you are alive, you live in a 'World of life'. What I means is we are not zombies to live in a life with full of emptiness. We will going through various sort of problems as well as happiness by doing what we could during our lifetime. There is no doubt that we all are gonna die someday but before that happen, fill your every single day with everything you want to do.Live your life. Gain as much as you can because when the time's out, there will be nothing worth anymore. So, stop thinking on dying and continue your journey in life.
Should I leave Cali and go to New York?
My narcissistic mother basically kicked me out of her house. Told me I’m skin and bones and can’t use the car she bought for my sister and I because we aren’t getting along. She knows I was trying to get a job. I’m at an all time low right now. The only place I’d ever have to go is New York. I live in California right now. I’m 19. There’s this guy online who’s obsessed with girls my race and we’d been talking on and off for a few months. He’s sent me money before and offered to fly me out there and put me in a hotel for a few days without any expectations other than getting to know each other. He’s older. I’ve never taken his offer serious as I just needed the money he’d send. I don’t want to go out there but I also don’t have a place at home anymore. So I’m considering taking his offer and getting a little job out there and hopefully finding a better shot at life. I guess I’m here to ask others opinions. What you would do and if I should do it
Leave a Negative tip at a restaurant?
Those people are douche bags, and no, that doesn't work. It is called stealing. If you only leave enough money for part of the check, the restaurant can call the police on you for dine-n-dash. Not only that, but many restaurants will give their server the option of being written up for the theft by their patron, or they will be forced to pay the difference to avoid the write-up, because many restaurants are shady that way. If you receive absolutely terrible service, your best bet is to talk to the manager, before the situation starts making you nit-pick. I am so tired of people who think they are making a point by not tipping or pulling silly stuff. If you don't leave me a tip because you are unhappy, I just think you're a cheap skate, clean the table and move on. I have no idea about your cold soup, the fact that you needed extra napkins, or your ketchup bottle having a toothpick, unless you tell me. I don't know about the guy sitting behind you and your kids, swearing like a truck driver, as I am not sitting there, and when I am talking to you at your table, I am tuning everyone else out. I don't know that the other server who helped me out by taking your order out to you brought you the right breakfast, with the wrong eggs, or that your coffee tastes bitter, unless you tell me. I don't want to hear about how we will supposedly do nasty stuff to your food if you complain because you saw it in some horrible, fictional movie that is not even close to reality. This is YOUR imagination running absolutely rampant. PLEASE, if your meal is going wrong, TELL ME OR MY MANAGER, so we can turn your negative experience into a positive experience. If my manager cannot settle the issue to your satisfaction, please feel free to ask for the corporate number, or an appropriate time to speak with my General Manager. I am really tired of people who will take it out on the server, and blame an entire restaurant chain, because the cook's wife went into labour and he called out, and they are short handed, and your steak took 2 minutes longer than your patience allows. Seriously, restaurants are run by people, the only difference is, we have every customer staring at us with their own psychotic perception of how to do our job, but if they had the chance, they wouldn't.
Imagine you are in love with a girl called government. You want to marry her but well, her father is a senior (and quite experienced) civil servant. You want to ask for her hand. How will you behave in a family dinner?You must not appear to be ignorant of the flaws of the government but you must tell them you love her with all her flaws and in fact marrying you will make her better.After all its parents, so please do not come out as an overconfident idiot.Like all parents, members have some quirks. Do not try to scratch there too much. But after marriage, you do not want to be bullied around by your in laws, so do not relent easily. Smile humbly and agree to disagree.All family members are important but two are extremely important. The chairman(father) and the lady member(the mother). Impress them and jointly they will overrule what other members think of you.There will be some uncle who would be given task to roughen you up a little because their daughter has her mood swings. Keep calm. They want to check whether you can handle her at her worse.Do not bluff. Nobody likes a liar. Remember they know way more about their daughter i.e the government than you do. You have met her on dates, they have seen her grow in front of their eyes.Respectful sense of humour and wit, always appreciated. Do not be monotonous and boring.Do not sound desperate. Smile but not like an ignorant immature and finally appear in control of the situationUltimately, its not any single answer which matters but overall environment and experience of the interview. Since the family has called you for dinner, they know you are good enough as far as material aspects are concerned, now they want to look beyond it into your attitude.P.S.:Just a brief background here. I got 157 in my first attempt in interview. I had scored very well in mains but lost out in interview, got IPS. Second time I got 176 and in this attempt I got 193. So it seems I have some locus standii on this topic.Lady aspirants should replace the gender terms with male ones and it would hold true for them.Sometimes even after your best effort, you might not be able to impress the girl’s parents. Its divine thing. Come back again and do not leave the love of your life.
- Do not ever insult the flag, the military, or the Constitution. Doing so will instantly make you the most hated person in the country- Don't discuss politics with people who are not close to you. - Do not leave a restaurant without paying tip. Our waiters here do not get paid minimum wage and leaving without a tip is considered a grave insult. - Do not tell someone how bad something is up front as that can be taken very negatively. - Do not jaywalk unless you're in NYC or Boston. In many parts of the country it is not really tolerated and even a crime- Don't spit or do #1 or #2 in public. Well I'm sure this is not even tolerated in most countries- Always respect monuments and sites where our veterans are honored. Dont take humorous photos in front of such sites as people will be very insulted. - I've also never heard of bargaining and generally is very frowned upon unless you're at a car dealership. - Openly talking about sex is considered taboo in many places. It is also considered rude to ask about salary or social status. - Not all Americans are receptive to hugs or kisses on cheeks. Play it safe and just give a firm handshake. - Always respect personal space. Unlike Europeans, Americans are not as keen on close contact especially with strangers and will get very defensive if they feel their personal space is breached. - Don't drink in public. In many places, this is considered a crime and can get you ticketed or arrested. - When you are stopped by police, do what they say and do not insult them. Do state your rights if necessary (ex. consent to search) but do not physically resist them. As long as you are courteous and respectful, they will not hurt you. To be honest, customs differ greatly based on region but the top points here are the very basics of what you should never do in the US. Most of this is common sense but some of them are not really known when foreigners come into this country. This does seem much but trust me, come to Asia and the Middle East and there are much more rules to observe.
Help with science behind marketing project. Wave based iron.?
No such thing. But do you mean you are doing a marketing project for something (which can't actually work) - and you need a convincing explanation to make people believe it can work? You should go into politics. Here is an explanation which is total b*ll*cks... The WavePress completely replaces conventional irons and presses – both dry and steam. Ultra low frequency elliptically polarised radio waves redistribute the inhomogeneous stress-patterns in any type of fabric by a patented differential heating effect. The result – perfectly ‘ironed’ fabric in a fraction of a second with no risk of burns, no water/steam required and guaranteed perfect results with no skill or effort.
