Most of them make 2.10 - 2.25 per hour and depend on customers to make up the difference. And the better the service, the better the tip, most of the time. Yes, there are still inconsiderate morons who wouldn't tip to save their life, but I think most people are good for 10% at least. Reminds me of a comedy club I worked in. One server, Terry, would always work the front-right section and end the night with sometimes hundreds of dollars in tips. So the other servers would constantly grumble about him having the best customers and the best section, etc. Then Terry left and the other servers got the chance to work the lucrative front-right section and they couldn't end the night with any more than they got in any other section. Terry was the magic ingredient. He would take care of his customers in a non-intrusive manner, empty ashtrays (when we had them), wipe the tables, pick up trash and keep things clean and, most importantly, he would say "please" and "thank you." Something you don't hear from service employees often enough. Jonmichael, you’re on the right track for servers.

It therefore seems logical that the clone warriors would each have individual souls.

I like being able to split up Friday's episode. Thank you! :-) I really am enjoying the new format. 30 minutes for the Monday thru Thursday episodes and a longer episode on Friday.

I've been a fan of Green Lantern for years and I was so surprised to see the title of your podcast. Your geek credit has gone up yet another notch! The comments from the website you linked to really spiraled out of control in the comments section.... but overall worth the read. Thanks for the heads-up.

It just depends on the customer being responsible enough to observe the socially acceptable behavior and tip at least 15%.
