I Was A Mothers Milk Junky
author:Melvin Polatnick
Upon graduating high school the first thing I had to do was look for a job. Through an ad in the newspaper I set up an interview for a job as a driver for a diaper service company. I was hired not only as a delivery man but also as a lover. My boss told me that mothers before and after pregnancy were very horny and for the sake of his business it would be a part of my job to keep them happy. I quickly agreed to his terms and was hired. My third day on the job was a happy one. I delivered diapers to a married woman who was nine months pregnant. She was getting ready for the big event by ordering diapers in advance. While having a cup of coffee with her she sadly said that her husband was turned off by her big belly and hadn’t made love to her in three months. I said that I found pregnant women appealing and would love to have sex with her but I was behind schedule. She said that she would quickly undress and it wouldn’t take long. I weakly consented to her generous offer. We made love for two hours and I thought that I would get fired for not doing my job. But I told the boss why I was behind schedule and he patted me on the back. He said that I got him a steady customer and gave me a five dollar raise. An event happened on my third week as a diaper delivery man that changed my whole life around. While making love to a pregnant housewife I began sucking on her breasts, to my surprise warm milk started to fill my mouth. It was mothers milk and it was delicious. I felt a surge of sexual energy and power which I had never felt before. It was then that I became a mothers milk junky. My supply of mothers milk flowed like a river. Women long after they gave birth were still capable of feeding me gallons of milk. They were all my steady customers and I made love to them every time I delivered their diapers. Some thought it was strange that I was so obsessed with sucking on their nipples for milk, but I explained that I needed the nutrition. They say that all good things come to an end. That end happened when disposable diapers appeared in the stores. Very few people except the hippies wanted cloth diapers. I was out of a job and my girlfriends were running out of mothers milk. The first things I did was get a job as a manager of a fast food restaurant and look for a new way of getting mothers milk. I found it on the Internet where mothers were offering bottled mothers milk at three bucks an ounce. They had refrigerated mothers milk delivered by overnight service. My problem is now over and I have all the mothers milk I need. I now warm up the mothers milk and suck it out of the nipple on a babies bottle. It makes me feel young again. But it tasted much better coming right out of the breast.

Coffee Journey For Your Taste Buds
author:Rebecca Montana
There can be as large a variety of coffee beans and Java's from around the globe as there are grapes and types of wine - and a trip to taste them all is a great delight for me to share with you. Since I love coffee and Hawaii both, lets start there. The selected Kona issues forth in both medium and dark roast. The last mentioned holds a very light taste with the medium roast creating for slightly more bodied flavor. Only the espresso stays a favorite, wherever the minimally acidic, dark and strong character really shines. South of the boarder of the USA the Colombian coffee bean embodies, rightly so,a world-renowned reputation. The La Esperanza from Tolima, for illustration, is produced at nearly 6,000 feet and the effect shows. Elegant with a refined scent and cherry-like it's suggestions of milk chocolate and pipe tobacco. Who thought such an inter-mixture could in reality taste extraordinary? Naturally, the world's 2nd biggest producer of coffee has a great deal more to offer up. The Supremo creates a complex brew with hints of vanilla and suggestions of bittersweet chocolate. Be sure to drink this beverage hot, because the flavor disappears fast. Running off to Africa we discover a Tanzanian Peaberry, farmed along the southerly slopes of Mt. Mount Kilimanjaro. Peaberries bear a identifying shape, constituting a single egg-shaped bean instead of the common pair of flat-sided beans. One outcome is that it will have a higher acidity and light body. Tourists that climb the celebrated mountain can enjoy a warm cupful along their way up. While we are here in the birthplace of civilization, consider a side trip to the recognized home of coffee - Ethiopia. The Yirgacheffe region is home base to a citrusy brew that combines gingerroot, orange peel and lemon that is both tart and chocolaty. Hop a flight to Vietnam and we can enjoy a Robusta from Lampung. The way that the wash and dry and polish the beans makes for a woody, astringent cup of coffee that can compete well with its more high-toned Arabica cousin. A run over to Indonesia finds us in Sumatra. This region is long known for their products from the Lake Toba region. You will find a light roast along with a cup of coffee that is sweet and flowery. Yet the original jasmine-like coffee flower has been retained that produces an astringent cup with cherry overtones. While we are here lets not forget about the northern provinces where the serve up a traditional dark roast that gives a spicy, tropical fruit brew with hints of grapefruit and cedar. Lets take a trek to India to take in another landmark of the coffee world - the Monsoon Malabar. This is called the product of three months of the wet winds. You will find the puffy yellow beans make for a pungent brew with hints of apricot. Now we have come this far, so don't leave without sampling a Jumboor. It has sweet raisin tones. So now lets stopover in Jamaica while on our journey. Here you will discover an unusual source of coffee beans. Can you see the African origins in the Jamaican peaberry? It is a single bean. Both full-bodied, sweetly acid, and full of floral notes this cup can come on strong and so the effect is altogether different than you might have expected. As we come to the end of this excursion, we are satisfied and sated. Let us close our book of 'Coffee- A Tour Of the Coffee World - Part 2' for now. With all this caffeine in our systems, we can go organize another trip soon.

The Wine Club Introduction
author:Jon Sherwood
A great way to meet wine enthusiasts while tasting new wines is to join a wine club. Many good wine clubs are completely free to join and allow you to socialize with other individuals who enjoy learning about, and drinking, fine wines. Being a member of a wine club will give you the chance to be exposed to more wines than you would normally try on your own and will help you find more pleasure in learning about wine. When choosing a wine club you must take several things into consideration to make sure that you get the most out of your experience. The first thing is that you must consider is the overall price. While wine clubs are free to join there are fees associated with the actual shipping of the wine. Remember you are joining the club for free; you are not receiving the wine for free. The prices associated with wine clubs vary and depend on the types of wine being consumed. Small wine merchants that run wine clubs will provide members with wine for as little as $20.00 per month. Other wine clubs that specialize in rare vintages or vintages that are only produced in small amounts will charge a few hundred dollars per month to club members. These wine clubs are providing members with wines that you will not fine in your average store. Another thing to take into consideration when choosing your wine club is whether or not you want to join a club sponsored by a winery or a wine club sponsored by a retailer. A wine club sponsored by a retailer is often more budget friendly since they have a wider variety of vintages available and are usually able to offer membership levels to meet any budget. These wine clubs will also, usually have special deals made with certain wineries that allow them to give wine club members deep discounts. Wine club members will often receive very choice vintages for not even half the cost. A wine club that is sponsored by a winery will usually be more expensive because the vineyard will often have a smaller selection of wine that is being made in a smaller supply. There are some situations where a vineyard will only have enough wine from a certain pressing to provide to their club members so non-club members will never even have the chance to try the wine vintage. Many wine conniseuirs join wine clubs for this reason, to avoid missing out on limited vintages. Lastly, make sure you go over all of the rules of the wine club you are interested in before committing yourself to a specific wine club. Take time to find out all of the additional fees that might be added to the basic wine club prices. Some wine clubs offer free or discounted shipping while others charge standard shipping fees. Also wine clubs have shipments at different frequencies. Some wine clubs make shipments to their club members each month while other wine clubs make shipments quarterly or even yearly. Make sure that you know all of the rules before committing yourself to a club.

Are Coffee Houses Fashionable?
author:Jacoba Fenny
When you think of a coffee house, the first thing, which might come to mind, would be a cozy place serving gourmet coffees and espressos, couches to lounge on while you sip your coffee and maybe engage in a conversation with a friend or read a good book. Have you every thought about how coffee houses got there start? One of the first coffee houses, which publicly served coffee, was the Kiva Ham in Constantinople now known as Istanbul. To the Turks coffee was such an important part of their life a women could legally divorce her husband for not supplying her with enough coffee. Turkish coffee was made to be served strong, black and unfiltered. Coffee was usually made in an ibrik. In Europe it became fashionable to add sweetener and milk to coffee. This practice started in the first coffee shop opened in Europe around 1529. The Turkish army invaded Vienna leaving behind bags of coffee beans when they fled. Franz Georg Kolschitzky had apparently lived in Turkey and was the only person who knew what the beans were. He claimed the bags of coffee beans as the spoils of war and opened up a coffee house. He came up with the idea of filtering coffee along with the notion of adding sweetener and milk. The coffee was a hit in Vienna and after the serving sweet pastries and other treats the coffee house business soared. The establishment continued to spread, with the opening of the first one in England in 1652. Coffee popularity in England was growing when the idea arrived again only this time from Turkey. An English coffee house was the first to use the word “tips” meaning gratuities. In the coffee house a jar was placed on the counter with the sign reading “To ensure proper service”. A customer would place a coin in the jar to get fast service. The British had a nickname for their coffee houses. They called them “penny universities” mainly because that was the price of the coffee and the social upper class of businessmen were found there. One small coffee house was run by Edward Lloyd attracted the business clientèle. The idea spread through out Europe. Italy opened its first coffee house in 1654 and in Paris in 1672. Germany opened its first coffee house in 1673. The coffee houses came to America shortly after the Americas were colonized. The coffee houses in America were the hot spots for the business community just as they were in Europe. New York was the location of the first coffee house for the New York Stock Exchange. A lot of business took place at this location. For years regular coffee was all that was served in coffee houses, then along came espresso. Gaggia invented the commercial piston espresso machine in 1946. This machine was much easier and safer to use than the earlier models. These machines were first used in the Gaggia coffee bar in Italy. They offered espresso along with the regular coffee. The coffee houses of today were born.

The Secrets Of Making Green Tea?
author:Jacoba Fenn
Today when in a grocery store or in a convenience store in front of the beverage cooler you will see green tea this or green tea that. Green tea has turned up in all sorts of products. If you haven’t tried green tea, you might be wondering what all the to-do is about. So now you may be asking what is the difference between green tea and the black tea you are used to drinking for lunch or dinner or just because. Both teas come from the same plant; the difference is the way the different teas are processed. The green tea in not fermented it has been dried. Because of the shorter processing time the green tea has a lighter flavor than the black tea. Green tea is good for you because the processing keeps all the beneficial elements left in the tea. Green tea doesn’t taste anything like the tea you usually drink. Most green tea drinkers do not add milk or sugar, but you can if you like. Green tea has been described as having a light, fresh, green flavor. Some of the various green teas have just a little sweetness taste to them. Others are a little more astringent. There are several different varieties of green tea each with its own flavor; however they all seem to have one flavor quality in common. To try really good green tea you will want to look in a gourmet tea store rather than a grocery store. The grocery store doesn’t have the selection you will find in a gourmet tea store. You will find a good selection of green teas look in your local Asian food store. Some of the types you will want to look for is; sencha, gunpowder, or Dragon Well. The grocery store variety of green teas will not have any type of variety listed so they are more than likely blends of poor quality. Green tea is brewed just like you would brew the tea you normally drink, except you will not want the water to boil. You will want to brew you tea when the water is on the verge of boiling. Green tea is a more delicate tea so you want to the water to be a little cooler. Bancha is one of the Japanese green teas. It is a very common, coarse, rough tea. The leaves are usually lower grade. This tea is not a tea for a sophisticated palate. In Japan’s restaurants this tea is served free. Sencha is the most popular of the Japanese green teas. This tea has three quality levels: high, medium, and low. To produce a high-grade tea the processing is very important. The processing must be done with love, care and patience. Without these attributes the leaves turn in to nothing. The tea is meant to add to the pleasure of fine Japanese foods. Gyokuro is a Japanese tea of the highest quality. It is a extremely fragrant tea and the aroma adds to the irresistible appreciation of this wonderful green tea. In tea lingo this tea is considered sweet. This tea can only be served with the very finest Japanese cuisine or just sipped alone with no accompaniment. This tea is recommended to someone whom you wish to impress such as your boss, a client, or any other important person. Matcha is probably the finest of all of the green teas of Japan. It is not a whole leaf tea however, it is a powder and must be prepared exactly as the standards recommend. This tea is very smooth and easy to drink. This tea has the perfect balance of aroma, taste and vision, which are the three qualities people look for in tea. It is very high in vitamin C and several other vitamins. Matcha is used only in the Japanese Tea Ceremony.

Choosing the right basket. When choosing your empty basket, try to see if you have a basket that is lying around at your house. As long as it is still in perfectly good condition, it is acceptable to re-use it. It can also be a basket than you have previously received as a gift or any other container that you feel will be appropriate. Be creative Do not be scared to let your imagination run wild. Try using themed -based containers or experiment with different colors. An idea would be to use a red basket if the gift is intended for a special someone or Valentine's Day. You can include more than one bottle of wine or exotic fruits like mangoes for a more tropical theme. Try to include food than area bit unusual to give your basket extra character and really make an impression. You can always also find baskets a craft shops and are usually inexpensive. Choosing the wine If you visit your local liquor store, chances are that there is an area where discounted bottles of wine are kept for reasons like close outs or maybe that they were not strong sellers. This section is the perfect place to find the discounted wine needed for your discount wine gift basket. The prices are often marked down by 25% to 50% off the original price. If you are not going to give the gift in the very near future, it pays to visit your local liquor store before and try to find out off the store manager as to when the store moves its current stock to the discounted section. If you are preparing a gift for Christmas or nay gift giving season, try to get in early in order to get the best deal possible. Getting in early will also mean that you will have a wider choice for your gift baskets. The right food for the occasion When you are deciding on what type of food to add to the discount wine gift basket, try to stay focus on the theme that you are trying to achieve. If you have been invited to dinner with Italian on the menu, try to include packets of dry pasta, cans of crushed red tomatoes, a jar of sun-dried tomatoes, anchovies, olives or even herbs like basil or oregano and of course a nice bottle of red. Including items that project a theme will not only make your life easy but will definitely get your message across. A bottle of red wine and some dark chocolates can make a healthy but non expensive wine gift basket and add to that a nice box of crackers and some other delicious spreads and cheeses and you have yourself a simple discount wine gift basket. For a full gourmet basket, you could include both a bottle of red and white wines or even a bottle of rose wine. Thrown in some pretzels, various mixed nuts, dried fruit, wholemeal crackers or biscotti for added character with some nice cheese spreads and there you have it. Your gourmet discount wine gift basket is ready. Utensils To finish your wine gift basket, just include some utensils like a knife, a few plates, a tray, some wine glasses and don't forget the corkscrew.

Drink Organic - Organic Flavored Coffee Is The Best
author:David Swanson
Europeans and Americans drink coffee like it is going out of style. Coffee is a popular social tool that has been around since any of us can remember. The popularity growth in coffee consumption has prompted many growers to experiment with how they grow coffee, especially in recent years when it has been proven that fertilizer does more harm than good. Organic coffee is on the horizon for them now. Organic coffee - what is it exactly? This is coffee that is grown without using enhancement chemicals. It has been done that way since time before chemical companies intruded. Farmers plant the seeds, irrigate the roots and let the sun do the rest. The Department of Agriculture has set into motion a crop rotation program. Crop rotation aids the farmer's in coping with the demand of coffee products on the open market, especially organic flavored coffee. One way that organic flavored coffee growers can benefit is by applying to the government for incentives. The agricultural community supports the growing of it wholeheartedly. So much so that they will give benefits to farmers who grow organic. It takes a while to get certified organic but to the coffee grower it is well worth the wait. As with the majority of organic products, organic coffee takes more time to come to term. This means that organic coffee costs more than your general store brands. In some instances, 12 ounces of organic coffee can be sold for $1.00 per ounce. Organic coffee, like other organic or all natural foods, is sold in an entirely different section of your local supermarket. This type of coffee is sold in caffeinated and decaffeinated as well as flavored with vanilla, chocolate hazelnut or anything else you can think of that regular coffee comes in. Organic flavored coffee (like other all-natural products) must contain a seal indicating it is, in fact, organic. This is an FDA classification and cannot be overlooked. Granted, organic coffee is more expensive than traditional coffee, but the sense of wellness it brings cannot be unmatched. Many brands you find are not made in the US but in countries that support slavery and the use of warlords such as South America or Africa. Organic coffee prices will go down over the next few years, analysts predict. This is made possible by the crop rotation practices mentioned earlier by avoiding using fertilizers and pesticides. The use of organic coffee or other products will not allow you to live longer, that is a guarantee that cannot be made. These organic products can help you live healthier lifestyles. Healthier lifestyles can lead to longer life. So the next time that you are in the grocery store or other large food center look at all of the organic food you can buy and realize that you can be feeling better and living a healthier, more enriching life than you were before switching from non-organic foods to organic. Organic flavored coffee will not disappoint. True it is more expensive but the benefits as well as the flavor more than compensates for the cost.

Making Your Own Wine Gift Basket Has Never Been This Easy
author:Michel Marchand
If you are short on ideas on a present to give to that someone special or anyone for that matter, a wine gift basket nearly always does the trick. Unless the recipient is a recovering alcoholic or teetotaler, almost anyone would be pleased to receive a wine gift basket. Be it for a birthday or any other special occasion, a gift wine basket is one gift that is virtually guaranteed to please. What To Include You can almost include anything in your wine basket and your choice is only limited by the size or your wallet or budget. The main ingredient of course should be wine and two bottles should usually do it. Crackers, fine cheese, spreads and other tasty treats are but some of the many other goodies that you might want to include and depending on who you are giving the gift to, fine chocolates could also be added to the mix. Some people like to add fruits like mandarins and oranges or for a more tropical feel fruits like mangoes would also make a very unique and interesting wine gift basket. DIY Gift Basket If you wanted to put the wine gift basket together yourself, the process is fairly easy. First find yourself a large, deep basket and place a nice piece of cloth inside. Start by adding a fine bottle of wine to the basket. For white wine try a Chardonnay or Chablis and for red wine, a bottle of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noire. Of course, nothing is stopping you from including both red and white wines should you wish to do so. Your next step would be to add some crackers and with the wide range on the market today you should be spoilt for choice. Try to go for something a little unusual like those offering a slight taste of garlic or mustard or some made from whole grain or oats just to give your wine gift basket that special touch. A Wine Gift Basket - A Great Gift You can virtually give a wine gift basket for any occasion. Whether it's a birthday, weeding, Christmas, anniversary or even Valentines Day a gift basket will always be well received. Saying thank you for an invitation to dinner with a wine gift basket is also a great way to show your appreciation and you can rest assured that your gift would be well received by your host. With online websites offering gift wine baskets from $90.00 to $400.00 for a deluxe basket, the process is now so easy that you can place your order and have it shipped nearly to anywhere on the globe without leaving your house. Your one requirement is for you to have a valid credit card and that you are of legal age. As we explained before, your choices are endless but remember that the dearer the wine the more expensive the wine gift basket will be. So there you have it. Giving a wine gift basket has never been so easy, affordable, convenient and more popular than ever before.

Of course, nothing is stopping you from including both red and white wines should you wish to do so.
Your next step would be to add some crackers and with the wide range on the market today you should be spoilt for choice. Try to go for something a little unusual like those offering a slight taste of garlic or mustard or some made from whole grain or oats just to give your wine gift basket that special touch.

Why Wine Drinkers Look Smart
author:Caroline Silverstone
Why do wine drinkers look smart? Because we are! A simple answer to a simple question. More and more people are becoming aware of the numerous health benefits of drinking wine, and especially red wine. The Health Benefits Wine is full of anti-oxidants, which help to protect your body. Those present in red wine are called flavonoids and have been touted as being protective of your cardiac health in multiple ways. They lower your bad cholesterol, help raise your good cholesterol and help to prevent blood clots. Studies have also shown a protective effect from cancer and a retardation of the growth of certain tumors with moderate red wine use. Many physicians recommend drinking red wine in moderation if you are an otherwise healthy person, in order to protect your heart health and reduce your cholesterol. That is a pretty smart suggestion. In addition to heart health, many other health benefits have been attributed to a certain level of wine consumption. Cognitive health has been shown to be better in women in their seventies who moderately consume wine. Statistically speaking, moderate wine drinkers are leaner, have stronger bones and are less likely to become diabetic. As with anything, the key is moderation. Doctors suggest that women ideally drink no more than one glass of wine per day. Who knows what other smart results may come from drinking wine? It Makes Us Better Cooks Cooking with wine enhances food. Adding wine to a pan in which you have just cooked meat is a wonderful technique for deglazing – a gourmet way to prepare sauces. Adding red wine to tomato based sauces gives the flavor a richness that enhances it tremendously. White wine can also be added to a variety of dishes from salad dressings, to chicken dishes to seafood and pasta. The result is a complexity of taste that adds to any dish. Cooking with wine is just a smart thing to do. The Language of Wine The love of wine tends to manifest itself into a desire to want to learn more about our favorite beverage. Many people search out information about how to choose the best types of wine, how to match wine and food, what differentiates one type of wine from another. There are so many things to learn. There are techniques to learn to best appreciate the differences in wine. There is even a vocabulary to learn. You need to understand body, complexity, hints, swirling, tannins and so much more. To make matters even more difficult, you need to learn to properly pronounce the different types of wine, which means mastering a little French, Italian, German, Spanish and more. There are even courses you can take on wine appreciation. What other type of beverage can you think of that requires so much from drinkers before they are even considered to have a basic knowledge of what they are enjoying? Wine is such a versatile drink that lends itself to enhancing our lives in tremendous ways. It enhances our food with flavor. It increases our chances of living a healthy life. It even gives us the opportunity to broaden our geographical, linguistic and chemical knowledge. No wonder wine makes us look smart!

Gratuity: Read This If You Are One Of The Many Who Are Clueless
author:Angela Anderson
I am writing this on behalf of every person that works in the food service industry. Recently I was in a debate with a retired schoolteacher about gratuity. Her opinion was that there should not be any tipping whatsoever. And, having an "oldschool" mentality combined with her views, she tips on average 8-10%. Her argument was that the establishment should pay employees more money and tipping should be obsolete. Customers should not have to shell out more money on top of the cost of the bill. The words she was speaking and her body language told me that it actually irritated her that she felt obligated to leave a tip at all. Obviously, this woman has never in her life worked in the service industry, and therefore is completely ignorant to why tipping is important. Let me explain from the view of someone that makes a living off of tips....why it is so important, and how it benefits everyone, including the tipper. First let's focus on the establishment. A restaurant is a difficult business to always keep profitable for many reasons. Food costs, labor, supplies, utilities, - I know the rent alone on the establishment where I work is $20,000 per month! Raising pay would be very devastating, and, hypothetically speaking, what would happen if pay was higher, is less employees would be scheduled at a time to keep labor costs down. Now- who is suffering the most? The customer, of course. Have you ever went out to eat to a place where there is one person trying to run the whole show- all the while the place is packed with helpless guests that are frustrated from the lack of attention they are receiving? Not a pleasant experience, I can assure you. Second, if a food server/bartender did not receive gratuities, and they just got paid by the restaurant, what is their incentive to give great service? The restaurant is paying them to do their part in running an efficient business- which already- for the workload, the pay is definitely not near enough. Take for example your local Wal-Mart. (If you need proof, go visit one to get the full effect of this example). Do the people that work there treat you like royalty? Do they fight at the chance to help you find something, or try to get you through the checkout as fast as possible? Are there employees always available in every department to assist customers with their every need? And the answer is, HELL NO! You are lucky if you can find anyone at all that is willing to help, and actually be nice about it. Oh don't get me wrong, Wal-Mart hires enough employees, but having to deal with the public for $8 per hour is not much of a motivator. In my experience, the nicest employee is the one standing at the door that says "Welcome to Wal-Mart" when you walk in. Now, let's say those same employees were offered an extra $5 for every customer they assisted. Do you think the service would improve? In my experience, money talks. The Guidelines - 20% Instead of looking at tipping as an 'extra' expense, include it into whatever your budget is for the meal. If you plan on spending no more that $40 for dinner, a 20% tip= $8, that leaves $32 for the bill. If you are unable to calculate 20% when the bill arrives, just double the amount of the tax and add $1.00. So say the tax is $3.87, double it - ($7.74) add $1 = the tip amount is $8.74. For some, it is a major stretch on the budget to eat out at all- which is completely understandable. But here again, let me elaborate. If you can afford to order alcohol, you can afford to tip properly. If guests come in, say for lunch, with a coupon and order water to drink, it's probably safe to say they are strapped for cash. Any gratuity at all is appreciated. But if I have customers that have appetizers, margaritas, salad, steak, and possibly even dessert, and then when the bill arrives they slip in a measly 10% gratuity, you better believe I will remember who you are, and next time my efforts will definitely be decreased. How can you expect anyone to take care of you when you are not willing to do the same? It goes back to the old scripture I have kept with me since a child, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you". When you treat other people with generosity and respect, it will come back to you. When you do not, expect others to be just as unhelpful and disrespectful to you as you are. There is truth of this in my own life. All the people I work with know that I am one of the best tippers. If another employee helps me out a lot, I will buy them dinner. I tip the servers that take out my food more than anyone else tips them, and it comes around in a full circle = They always will take my food out first- before anyone Else's = which means my customers get hot fresh food that makes them happy = and I make more money. I always have coworkers happily willing to help me with anything that I need. The cheapskate tippers have the opposite experience = When their food is ready, the food runners take their food out last(If they take it at all), the table tenders will ignore their dirty tables, and trying to find a coworker to lend a hand is like pulling teeth. Just like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. I actually end up making more money than everyone else, even though I tip out double or triple the amount that they do. With that said, if the whole world lived by the simple rule of Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated, everything would flow a heck of a lot smoother.

There is truth of this in my own life. All the people I work with know that I am one of the best tippers. If another employee helps me out a lot, I will buy them dinner. I tip the servers that take out my food more than anyone else tips them, and it comes around in a full circle = They always will take my food out first- before anyone Else's = which means my customers get hot fresh food that makes them happy = and I make more money. I always have coworkers happily willing to help me with anything that I need. The cheapskate tippers have the opposite experience = When their food is ready, the food runners take their food out last(If they take it at all), the table tenders will ignore their dirty tables, and trying to find a coworker to lend a hand is like pulling teeth. Just like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. I actually end up making more money than everyone else, even though I tip out double or triple the amount that they do. With that said, if the whole world lived by the simple rule of Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated, everything would flow a heck of a lot smoother.
body_html:I am writing this on behalf of every person that works in the food service industry.
Recently I was in a debate with a retired schoolteacher about gratuity. Her opinion was that there should not be any tipping whatsoever. And, having an "oldschool" mentality combined with her views, she tips on average 8-10%. Her argument was that the establishment should pay employees more money and tipping should be obsolete. Customers should not have to shell out more money on top of the cost of the bill. The words she was speaking and her body language told me that it actually irritated her that she felt obligated to leave a tip at all. Obviously, this woman has never in her life worked in the service industry, and therefore is completely ignorant to why tipping is important.
Let me explain from the view of someone that makes a living off of tips....why it is so important, and how it benefits everyone, including the tipper.
First let's focus on the establishment. A restaurant is a difficult business to always keep profitable for many reasons. Food costs, labor, supplies, utilities, - I know the rent alone on the establishment where I work is $20,000 per month! Raising pay would be very devastating, and, hypothetically speaking, what would happen if pay was higher, is less employees would be scheduled at a time to keep labor costs down. Now- who is suffering the most? The customer, of course. Have you ever went out to eat to a place where there is one person trying to run the whole show- all the while the place is packed with helpless guests that are frustrated from the lack of attention they are receiving? Not a pleasant experience, I can assure you.
Second, if a food server/bartender did not receive gratuities, and they just got paid by the restaurant, what is their incentive to give great service? The restaurant is paying them to do their part in running an efficient business- which already- for the workload, the pay is definitely not near enough.
Take for example your local Wal-Mart. (If you need proof, go visit one to get the full effect of this example).
Do the people that work there treat you like royalty? Do they fight at the chance to help you find something, or try to get you through the checkout as fast as possible? Are there employees always available in every department to assist customers with their every need? And the answer is, HELL NO! You are lucky if you can find anyone at all that is willing to help, and actually be nice about it. Oh don't get me wrong, Wal-Mart hires enough employees, but having to deal with the public for $8 per hour is not much of a motivator. In my experience, the nicest employee is the one standing at the door that says "Welcome to Wal-Mart" when you walk in. Now, let's say those same employees were offered an extra $5 for every customer they assisted. Do you think the service would improve? In my experience, money talks.
The Guidelines - 20%
Instead of looking at tipping as an 'extra' expense, include it into whatever your budget is for the meal. If you plan on spending no more that $40 for dinner, a 20% tip= $8, that leaves $32 for the bill.
If you are unable to calculate 20% when the bill arrives, just double the amount of the tax and add $1.00. So say the tax is $3.87, double it - ($7.74) add $1 = the tip amount is $8.74.
For some, it is a major stretch on the budget to eat out at all- which is completely understandable. But here again, let me elaborate. If you can afford to order alcohol, you can afford to tip properly. If guests come in, say for lunch, with a coupon and order water to drink, it's probably safe to say they are strapped for cash. Any gratuity at all is appreciated. But if I have customers that have appetizers, margaritas, salad, steak, and possibly even dessert, and then when the bill arrives they slip in a measly 10% gratuity, you better believe I will remember who you are, and next time my efforts will definitely be decreased. How can you expect anyone to take care of you when you are not willing to do the same? It goes back to the old scripture I have kept with me since a child, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you". When you treat other people with generosity and respect, it will come back to you. When you do not, expect others to be just as unhelpful and disrespectful to you as you are.
