Wow, I still thought 15% was an adequate tip for restaurant service. The article below says it's now 20%. Bartenders expect $1 tip per drink.
I decided to clean up the perennials in the garden today, it's mild, rainy and threatening to get colder. It's not pleasant cutting things away with frozen hands.
L decided to accept a small part in the school play. She was pleased to have been selected as she felt that she had blown the audition. They do wonderful plays at her school, so it will be a good experience. Her only problem is finding time to fit in all her interests. I wanted her to have a driving lesson with her dad yesterday, unfortunately she didn't think she had the time as it had been a hectic weekend. This morning, she was looking for a hard plastic glass to use as a play prop for English and was upset that I had gotten rid of them all due to the Bisphenol A scare I've been reading so much about. Safety first!

Christine, we do not tip in Australia really which makes it easy I have to say. Restaurants are an exception but it is still not expected - I do it as my ex used to own restaurants and I know how hard they work in the hospitality industry. As for Bisphenol A I will have to look that up. My grandmother would never use plastic to store food at all. She would only use glass. Interesting.
Interesting, Australia is more like Europe with the tipping then.
I've a lot of BPA stories if you click on my label for bisphenol A.
