Tipping

Tipping is a completely personal decision.  There's a lot of positive and negative feedback against a supposed bad tipper regarding a $1500 pizza order and a $10 tip.  A lot of people say the person that ordered the pizza is cheap for leaving a $10 tip and a lot of people defend the decision to leave a tip of that amount.  My personal opinion is: Who cares?  Refer to my first sentence.  Tipping is a completely personal decision.  Whether someone decides to leave a 20% tip or not tip at all, there is no wrong or right amount to leave.  It's at the discretion of the purchaser how much the tip will be (if at all).  People are under the impression that tipping is a requirement.  Newsflash, it's not.  Do I think people should tip? Sure, I think people should tip.  But guess what? It's not my call to make on behalf of someone else and it's no one's place to judge.

What Are The Odds?

So my intentions for the day were to collect my paycheck and put in my resignation as I was leaving.  I was beat to the punch by the owner's wife.   Before I left for the day, I was called into the conference room and promptly fired.  They are currently having financial issues and need to consolidate a few positions.  I do know that they are letting one other person go but I left before finding out which one of the three left it would be.  What are the odds of getting fired on the day you're quitting?  It was actually pretty nice because I hate confrontation and it's a whole lot easier to get fired when you know you're starting a new job on Monday.  It was actually kind of comical because she asked me if, when they get back on their feet financially, if I would consider coming back to the position.  I did let her know that I had no interest in returning once I left.  It really is strange how things work out sometimes.
