thanks for responding. It's more about what is the right thing to do...it's a boutique in the neighborhood that we go to occasionally, so I will most likely see them again.

Why the **** people tip is beyond my comprehension. If you're at a restaurant/eating out and someone brings you your food and at the end of the meal you owe them $30, then why would you tip them $10 just for carrying a plate of food back and forth. At the end of the meal it makes no difference whatsoever if you give them that extra money. A waiter will get at least minimum wage no matter what because even if their base rate is below minimum wage their employer has to by law make up the money. They do not deserve some stupidly high pay for their menial work. I do not have some high paying job, i am in full time education, if I am lucky enough to be able to eat out or order a takeaway then i most likely can not afford to give extra money away, what a stupid ****ing thing to do. And why do idiot waiters expect 15-20% tip no matter how large the bill is? If I order food that costs $1000, why should a waiter expect $200 for the same amount of work as if I had ordered a $5 sandwich? It's carrying a plate of food ten feet to a table, a monkey can be trained to do it, and they do not deserve wages higher than people who were smart enough to graduate high school and not do some dumbass work. Waiters are slaves. You make a living waiting on other people bringing them food and drink. Its been around for thousands of years except back then you were rewarded with your life and punished with lashes or death. Waiters are modern day servants. [ Reply | More

I agree that they should be paid a living wage. The problem is that there is a lot of pushback because people think the incentive to provide quality service would then disappear, and you'd end up with a lot of rude waiters. Either way--you, the diner--would be paying for it, though. You realize that, right? Instead of a tip, your food would cost more. I wish somebody had taken the trouble to pay for your college education. [ Reply | More

Have you tried Frownies? Seriously. As low tech as they are, they really help. I found that I scowl when I sleep and they keep me from scowling. [ Reply | More

OMG. I wake up with deep furrows!! Are you using the smooth wrinkle patches? They really work? [ Reply | More

General Topics 11.10.12, 05:28 PM Flag

OR: I use the ones shaped like triangles. They really do work. It will be smooth as silk when you wake up. Now, if you scowl during your waking hours, they obviously aren't going to cure that, but I figure 8 hours of not scowling is better than nothing. I re-use mine. After the first time, I put a couple of drops of clear eyelash adhesive on the back and smear it around. That way, I get 2 uses out of them. They stick much better with the eyelash glue.

Dr Romano on 7th Ave in Chelsea. Lotsa well-groomed gay guys go to him so you know he's good. It has made me look so much better-rested, and I only have to get it once a year - I'm 46. Totally worth it! It will boost your dating confidence. [ Reply | More

I had one at 40. He was a "surprise" as I already had a 20 year old and a 7 year old, but it's all good. There are things that I am better at and conversely worse at as I have aged, so while one kid didn't get the same mom as one of my other kids, it all balances out. [ Reply | More
