    Never really liked these kind of re ed threads but oh well. Saw Manu and Tiago at Area 31 tonight. My "friend" almost got his ass beat down by Manu's bodyguard.

    Good times.

    As an aside, my waitress told me I tipped more than he did. I would still have his babies... but he makes about 150x what I make.

    It's called grand larceny.

    This, tipping in Argentina isn't what it is in the US, lots of times we didn't even tip and if we did we just leave like 0,000001% of the total bill, it's just a cultural thing.

    American tips are a bull distraction, complicating life where it should simple and pleasant, rather than opportunity to punish the waiter, or anxious dithering over how much is enough.

    The establishment should just add 15% to every bill.

    Manu is known for not tipping in this forum. Don't you guys remember that MannyisGod was the valet for Manu at an event, Manu didn't tip him, Manny called Manu out about it on Manu's website, and Manu apologized saying he forgot his wallet.

    Don't see why you HAVE to tip, if waiter is hot or gives great service, then sure you might tip. They get paid as it is, if they don't like the job, then boo hoo, get another one, scrah.

    An older friend from work. Really an acquaintance. Guy was a sloppy drunk and stumbling all over the place. Even took about 10 seconds for him to fall down (the falling had about 3 stages to it) on the floor. He was talking to me and every 10 seconds I had to wipe my hands on a cloth because he was spitting all over the place.

    He asked Manu for a picture, Manu said yes, but the BG said no. I'm assuming it's just a good cop/bad cop thing they run so Manu doesn't look like an ass. It's understandable considering he was just there to relax... not get hounded by people.

    I'm decently tall, about 6'3, and Manu didn't seem all that much taller than me... but Splitter on the other hand seemed massive.

    I thought I was over the Spurs as far as my super fandom was concerned. Working a lot and not being able to watch many games has kind of distanced myself from them, but if I didn't feel like a giddy little school girl when I saw Manu and Tiago walk in.

    Not for waiters if I remember correctly. Bartenders and waiters get paid mostly by tips not hourly. $2.13 is how much they make hourly(waiters).

    Waiters get paid 2.13 an hour and live off the tips they make ona daily basis. If you're a 2 dollar tipper on anything then eat at home.

    this should be illegal. there should be a forced gratuity if restaurants are going to pay this slave wage.

    Didn't you get the memo? Our customs aren't important, but we must quickly adapt theirs when we visit those countries else we are ignorant, vulgar Americans.
