Dinner With Bill Gates [The time is the late 1990's and the setting is an unidentified city in the northwest United States, in Washington. Three employees of Microsoft, the narrator, Encolpius, and his co-workers Giton and Ascyltus, have been invited to the illustrious mansion of billionaire Bill Gates, for a banquet.] It was slightly drizzling as we approached the house. We were simply amazed at it's size, it was a good quarter mile in length and equally long in width. As we approached the enormous
I work at an Italian restaurant called Vic & Angelo’s. There is so many things I dislike about that place; more than I can count on my ten ashy dark fingers. The restaurant has gone downhill since I was hired there a year ago. My coworkers would most likely agree with me especially the ones that have worked there longer than me. I can go on all day on why I hate my job, but the top reasons I really hate working there because of how noisy it is, the smelly areas, and the unfairness to my fellow employees
A Tip For All of Us “Tip or die” may very well be the motto of nearly all American restaurants. When we receive a lukewarm dinner accompanied with an unhelpful server, we tip, however meagerly, because we believe it’s the right thing to do. When we have exceptional service, not to mention delicious food, we feel good tipping a little bit more than usual because we believe it’s the right thing to do. If your server thinks you’re going to need a nudge, they’ll be sure to remind you on the check, etching
Have you ever dined in an extravagant restaurant and never could figure out how much to leave as a tip and ruins your dining experience?

Others, say that increasing the pay of workers and the menu prices
Typically, Americans do not have a second thought when it comes to giving a tip at the end of each meal. They simply calculate how much percentage to give their waiter (whether it be 10 to 15 percent) or they simply lie down a couple of wadded up dollar bills. However, some complain that tipping should not feel like an obligation at every meal, especially if the service is poor. Others argue, why should they be responsible for paying the waitstaff humanly? The reason behind why we tip today is because

While tipping is not mandatory in most of the United States, it is accepted at almost all sit-down restaurants, which offer table service and have many servers depend on tips as an essential part of their wage. Generally, the average tip is 15% to 20% of the total meal cost or can be found by multiplying the tax by two (only in states where food is taxed, unlike Delaware). Recently, an increasing number of restaurants have carried out a new non-tipping policy, so their employees will be paid at a
Daydreaming Fancy cars; elegant, yet somewhat extravagant dresses; and the coat tails were as long as the Golden Gate Bridge. There were more sparkles and sequins than you could ever imagine. The heels women wore were as high as skyscrapers. Each pair were different, I had never seen the same shoe twice. I guess they never got caught in black and white Converse because everyone has those. The men were dressed in nice tuxedos or suits depending on the occasion with bow ties usually. The way
Why might people in the workplace share a good common goodwill, generosity, and solidarity amongst each other? They most likely will share these things because they are all in the same boat. For example, as hard and difficult as work may be, it may be an escape for most of the workers. The feeling of care and support may come from other workers because at that moment, they are all together, and they are away from the hardships they might face. They all know how their co-workers feel, and to share
