Thank you handmc. Nice to hear we have some loyalists in our corner. :smile:

And you're so right about the tipping thing! I realize Philadelphia is the best tipping city in the country but damn. So many tourists in this week for Penn Relays and whatever else. Had a couple of tables of Europeans in tonight (mostly French for whatever reason) that stiffed the waiters badly, and even an American table of five (clearly from out of town) that left the waitress $6 on a $150 check! :shock: That really ticked me off. I mean, that's just insulting. The dad was an ass too. Came out to the bar for a smoke and walked back through our non-smoking dining room with his lit cigarette to go fetch his beer. I had to go chase him down and remind him the dining rooms were non-smoking. There were still several other guests in that same room too. What a jerk.
