And no gratuities are necessary, right? |
Yes, that is correct. One time when I was staying at the Park Hyatt, I wanted to tip the waitress for her service...knowing that they don't accept tips. I actually went to my room, put the money in an envelope to be discreet...man, she really didn't want to accept it but I kindly insisted that she take it and after going back in forth a few times she finally took it and bowed deeply as I was leaving.
Tripped me out man. That type of experience is emblazoned in your head...you'll never forget it.

Way cool... It's the honor of being able to serve, as opposed to a job.

Yikes! Are you okay? What was it like? I've never experienced an earthquake before.  _________________

Really?
Living in the Phillipines/Pacific, I would have thought you'd have experienced a number of them...

When I lived in NoCal one of the ones we had made the landscape look like it was rolling waves. Surprisingly to me the horses didnt care at all. So much for animal instinct.  _________________

We get 4.0 ones around here in SoCal every now and then... And we pretty much don't even flinch.

LOL, the store manager at the Lowe's contacted me via email, insisting that the shopvac that was on sale was a completely different one than the one I saw online.
Jeez, he's the store manager and is completely unaware... So I emailed him the link to that particular shopvac...
What a bunch of dopes.
