My dilemma

[Tom1975]

I'm going to my local cardroom tonight. It's a dump but they have a beer special on Friday night's - $1.50 Corona's (no free booze in Indiana). The problem is I never know how much to tip the waitress. Sometimes I just give them $2.00 (for a 50 cent tip), but then I feel cheap since the standard tip seems to be 1.00 per drink. On the other hand if I give 3.00 and tell them to keep it, that's a 1.50 tip (100 %) which seems too much. I could always give them $3.00 and ask for 50 cents back but that seems lame. Anyway, my new idea is to get a stack of pink $2.50 chips and just pay with those - leaving them the standard $1.00 tip and not having to mess around with change. I can also easily track the number of beers I've had this way. What do you think?

[Shajen]

I'll let the "that which shall not be named" part slide.

How much do you drink? If you have more than 4 beers, the smart play is to give the waitress a 10 on your first beer then nothing after that unless you are getting bombed.

[Laomedon]

Never post again.

A couple of things you can do.

1) alternate between giving her $2 and $3 every other beer.

2) it's pretty standard to tip more during happy hours, etc. when drinks are cheaper so i'd probably just give her the $3.

Also, since you're in indiana, i guess you're indiana's new name to post in 00t under? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Do all of your taco bells stock a freezer full of choco tacos?

Damn those things are good.

I have never seen this. It looks amazing.

The Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco gets no love. That is some good [censored].

Seriously? It's a good humor ice cream treat, it's REALLY good. Peanuts at the top are the key.

I've never had the Ranchero chicken soft. I'll seek it out the next time I go. But, I did try the basic Steak Soft taco, it's very good.

what's your standard line at T-Bell?

I've been going crunch-wrap supreme meal, with a bean burrito *or* a cheesy chicken gordita.

Oh, and this came up on my search for Taco Bell earlier. I've been waiting to use it:

I used to go Grilld Stufft and 2 Meximelts. Lately I've been goign Crunchwrap instead of the Grilld Stufft.

[IndieMatty]

Well I have it only about once every 6 months; but it is, a cheesy gordita, a nachos supreme meal and steak quesedilla. Large cough cough diet pepsi. I generally have a decent amount of leftovers for hungover breakfast or to throw at homeless people.

I guess I've heard of it, but I have never had one. I'm drooling. Can I get this in any grocery?

This is a good play. I enjoy the Crunchwrap. I want to try a Cheesy Gordita Crunch as an alternative next time. I sometimes do the standard bean burrito instead of the meximelts.

I haven't been to a real grocery store in years. I don't know. I would assume yes if they had a good humor section. An Ice Cream Truck definitely. Speaking of which, I walked by an old Ice Cream truck the other day, how old? They still had the sign for an Ultimate Warrior WWF bar.

Anyhoo, let's not get off topic.

I think we have some wiggle room here. WWF ice cream bars were amazing.

Damn, now you made me want to get Taco Bell for lunch.

I just looked. There is a Taco Bell 1.2 miles from work that I never knew about. I can't decide if I'm overjoyed or saddened by all the lunches I've missed out on.

I will be eating Taco Hell for dinner tonight. There is not one close enough to work to justify going to.

So the pressing question is, what should i get?

I could go for lunch, there's one pretty close. But I'm saving it for my post-bar munchies tonight. I'm getting excited already.

I had no idea you were gainfully employed. I'm honestly shocked.

[kyro]

If it's the same waitress, maybe you could give her $3 for the first one and $2 for the second one, and keep alternating. That way it's $1/drink.

The taco bell express downtown is actually on Chambers between Hudson and Greenwich Sts. I said west of Church before. I want to be very precise here, considering the importance of the topic.

Does this Taco Bell Express have a full menu?

You know, all of the Taco Bells in NYC seem to be of the express variety. So, I'm not sure if it is a full menu or not.
