Joseph Weisenthal had dinner at 715 in Kansas this weekend, and ">noticed that one of the items on the menu included buying the kitchen a six-pack for $12. This kind of thing isn't unique to 715—restaurants everywhere do it, and some people wonder if it's a nice thing or annoying thing to have on the menu.

How do know what the tipping rules are when you're in another country?

I had chosen tap water over sweet tea so that my bill would be lower. Now I was going to tip the same amount of my friend who ordered more? This didn't seem fair to me.

A person posted this receipt to Reddit in response to the story about the Applebee's server who got fired for posting the "I give God 10%. Why do you get 18?" receipt a customer left.

In case you're interested in another discussion about tipping (and clearly, we are all interested in discussions about tipping), Marginal Revolution has a discussion about how people tip when they order food online using websites like Seamless.

In light of the situation, I would like to make a statement on behalf of wait staff everywhere: We make $3.50 an hour.

Logan and I are of the mindset that you can actually never really tip too much for good service (Logan really loves leaving as much as possible), but we're also open to showing other people's honest viewpoints and experiences with money (see: Young, Privileged and Applying for Foodstamps). As a counterpoint to Cindy's post today on overtipping, we give you Billfold pal Matt Langer's rules for tipping.
