re: #216 Big Beautiful Door

But in the US we expect our waitresses to flirt with us in order to make almost enough money to live on.

We don’t have a lot of money, so we don’t go out to eat a lot.

That said, every waiter and waitress in a nintey-mile circle knows us, because of decent tips.

Over in the county seat, when we go for the Sunday specials at one restaurant, staff will treat us especially well. (The church crowd is the same everywhere, apparently, on the matter of tips.)

One waitress once showed us one of those fake $20 Bible verse bills when she was talking to us (I’d never seen one before except as photographs on the Internet), and we made it up to her by buying it from her (for $20).
