no refills on your drinks? waiter got your order wrong and now you have to wait double the time? waitress running after you outside and giving you the "i work so hard' speech - that's the problem with mandatory tipping. many other countries have a no tip rule or a 10% maximum tip rule. tipping is simply not required in most countries. a waiter just phones in his duties and now he expects the customer to pay an automatic 15% tip. the service is included in the price of the food. it is not my fault that the owner is too cheap to make their wait staff a decent, fair wage. the restaurant owners depend on the customers to pay the wage of their waiters. customers have to worry about under ...

love watching bonanza episodes on tv land. seems like tvland is having a bonanza marathon. great memories of childhood, watching bonanza and young and the restless episodes with my grandmother. lonely child. went to nevada and went to the set where they filmed bonanza on a family road trip many years ago. great times. great childhood memories. little joe. joss. adam was my favorite cartright. just something so manly about adam cartright. all the cartrights sticking up for women. notice on the map of the ponderosa that they show at the beginning of the show how carson city is actually closer to the boundaries of the ponderosa, the land owned by the cartrights of nevada. carson city is ...

review of the spectrum essentials decadent blend chia flax seen coconut and cocoa. i love to put this ground chia blend into my yogurts such as greek yogurt fage. i found this spectrum essentials bag of goodies in the vitamins and minerals section of my local supermarket. rich in omega-3 (ala) fatty acida, the decadent blend chia and flax seens includes three grams of dietary fiber per serving. the bag says to use as a dietary supplement. spectrum essentials decadent blend chia and flax seed is a new formula which contains 1.6 grams of omega 3 per serving. these are fair trade certified ingredients with a net weight of 12 ounces or 340 grams. spectrum essentials is a taste of goodness, ...

stayed at a hard rock hotel. was upgraded to a suite for gambling tens of thousands of dollars. they call them HRH suites and the reception and check-in process is a bit different. you get free cookies. you get free chips and you get some nice tasting water with lemon added to it. those are the positives. you enter an elevator for high rollers and you have to insert your key to go to floors three through nine. the hrh suite at the hardrock hotel is a mess. too much partying leaves the carpets stained. the beds are not as padded and not as fluffed as other hotels. i had a hard time getting any rem sleep. i was turning and tossing in the hard rock suite beds all night. in the hrh tower, the ...

the amy shumer movie trainwreck was just plain bad. was this movie trying to be a comedy? i think so. the first half an hour had funny scenes and funny moments. the amy shumer trainwreck then morphed into some kind of daddy story about a dying dad and two sisters squabbling. some type of horror movie that made me scared to watch the movie. amy shumer was a fine actress. a lot of sexual content the first 30 minutes as the audience did not find it believable that anyone would want to fuck amy shumer. john cena was super hilarious as a lean body who uses sexual innuendos when confronted by moviegoers. too much drama about family relationships, amy shumer commitment issues. i walked out of ...

several instances of cops refusing to enforce the law. recent neighborhood instance of a neighbor breaking and entering into a community household. the cops were called. the cops took the neighbor's side saying that while she should not have broken and entered into the household, the tenant was right in complaining, because she had allergies from nearby dust, therefore her breaking down the door was justified. the neighbor asked the cop to file a report and the cop refused. the district attorney is the authorizing agency that litigates and files charges against criminals. cops are now deciding whether to report assaults and charges to the local district attorneys, rather than doing their ...

in 2003 I hired a programmer, developer by the name of kursad keskinege to code a website called monverify which was a voice and pin authentication service. monverify included features used in ecommerce, commerce, such as verbally agreeing to charges, entering personal identification numbers and application protocal integration. kursad keskinege of instanbul turkey was hired as an employee and instant messages were sent back and forth. kursad keskinege was paid a monthly large salary for all programming efforts. all records of payments were recorded. all conversation logs were recorded. all tasks were recorded. all communications were saved. after dismissal, kursad keskinege created a ...

brenden theaters is a movie theatre in the palms casino. i actually like brenden theater located at 4321 west flamingo road las vegas nevada 89103 but the problem is the noise volume. you walk into the movie theater and your ears pop. your ears can be hurt and your hearing will be hampered when you go brenden theaters. it is so funny that my galaxy phone gives me a warning when I increase the volume on my phone. the volume on my mobile phone seems reasonable to me compared to the intense volume and intense audio when entering the brenden theaters at the palms. my wife and I entered the theater at brenden and we heard this booming sound. our ears began to pop and we were considering leaving ...

spent some time at roxy's diner at the stratosphere. they use some kind of artificial coloring in their meals. the carrots that usually come with the buffalo wings were replaced by some vegetable that looked like a carrot but with yellow, orange food coloring added. the clam chowder soup, which i would rate as usually being my favorite elsewhere, at roxy's diner at the stratosphere tasted like porridge. the clam chowder was too thick and dense. what about the service? the waiter had his hands full with many tables and the ordering process felt rushed at roxy's diner. the waiter did not bring refills of the drinks such as lemonade or ice tea. the waiter was looking over his shoulder the ...

many stories coming back from tj (tijuana) into san diego with the border guards. they like to give grief to those crossing. i have seen border guards let homeless people back into the united states without documents, with forged driver's license and with simply stating your nationality, such as: i am american. I can also heard the border guards refuse to get law enforcement such as police. the border guards can call the police if there are confrontations or fights within the line. tempers are short in the long line waits, while the border patrol at the tj terminal crossing change shifts, change computer programs, sign in to work, casually talk to other border agents, and walk slowly to ...

checked in to the stratosphere hotel. some of the light switches do not work. the stratosphere vegas does not have many wall outlets. i had to connect the laptop to a bathroom wall outlet, and the ac adapter was barely long enough to fit. there were some hidden wall outlets behind the bed frame, but they were tangled and intertwined so it would be dangerous to reach for them and untangle them. the stratosphere room I am staying in has a type of popcorn ceiling and a tiny window to the outside overlooking no view. carpet based room. checked in about one hour early and we were charged an early check in fee at the stratosphere on las vegas boulevard. one tiny bar of soap was found around the ...

jerry heller did several radio interviews. the dj said he knew several people that hung around easy E, eric wright and that Easy's crew never heard Eric speak negatively about Jerry heller. i just saw the movie straight outta compton. the first half of the movie, Jerry heller was promoting the nwa group, standing up for them when they were harassed by the police, sending out press releases, and promoting the niggas with attitude group. then the producers dr. dre and ice cube started bashing jerry heller saying that he ripped off ice cube. there was a reason that dr. dre signed with the group and ren and yella also signed with the group and continued their bus tour. jerry heller was fair to ...
