buy max a beer . com

What can I say… Dave rocks.

If you’re in a bar, or private club as this state calls them, and beer only costs $3 for 32oz of (albeit weak) microbrew, please tip something. Tipping nothing on your $80+ tab does make the rest of us look really good, but I’ve never been that vain.

Really, I don’t care what country you’re from, how much cash you have, how lousy your job pays… if you can afford over $80 worth of beer and booze, you can afford to leave at least a few bucks.

Tip guide on an $80 tab:

• $0 – Don’t expect to ever get served again. Remember that really big bouncer that checked your ID, he remembers your name, probably where you live.
• $8-$10 – You’ll get a head shake, a sarcastic thank you and you will be ignored when there are other paying customers around.
• $10-$16 – Good. You will be forgotten, but not thought poorly of. Remember, those beers were half price, so your tab should really be more like $100. You’re tipping about 10-15%.
• $16-$20+ – When he said “Thank you.” he meant it. Don’t be surprised if you get passed drinks over waiting customers (the ones that tipped $10) if you come back tomorrow.

I admit, I have some odd habits. I count whenever water is running, I have a hard time only doing one thing at a time, I read things I don’t care about, I obsess about strange authors and musicians (Tom Waits and Richard Brautigan), I think postcards are the best form of mail…

The list could be longer. One of my favorites for on line activities is to go to flickr and look up pictures with random tags. Usually they’re things like skiing, climbing, beer, etc… but one I keep coming back to is “me”. It’s always entertaining to see what people label as themselves. I’d recommend taking a look. Pour yourself a Rogue Shakespeare stout in a fancy glass and see what people think of themselves. It’s very educational.
