Hehe! I laughed at you then but I am dying now. Life is too funny!
OH, I see what you mean.

Seriously, all of you that are new missed out on the running joke at the GTGs last year. I'd about it everytime he did something during the game.
The old classics never die!
Never mind - I changed my mind about my rant.
Go Spurs!
P.S I am glad you and Gino made up![]()
Bump.
If Manu doesn't come to play tonight, I'm calling that a cheap mother er everytime he touches the ball.
He better show up or he doesn't even deserve to wear his OWN jersey, much less Avery's old number.![]()
Are you going to the game to get your tip...
Or was the metaphorical "show up" the only version implied??![]()
who's cheaper. A guy who doesn't tip the valet, or the valet who still remembers the incident after a year???![]()
Ever think of the possiblity he didnt like the service?
Manu was great except for that last play in game three. He is due for a good game from beyond the arc. I can't ever remember him struggling with his three point shot as he is now. If that shot is not dropping, the lanes will be clogged.
I just read this thread for the first time ever. Manu's response was very classy I must say. Do you really think he remember the incident like he says Manny?

I almost called Manny a few weeks ago because of this thread.
I was at a conference in Austin and the main meeting point was The Driskill hotel with paid valet parking.
The first night, I tipped the guy about $4-5 because he was pretty respectful and quick (although his boss was an asshole), the second night, I think I tipped $2.
Yeah. But I am enjoying the discussion.
alot of places share the tipshares nowadays though...
Memo to Manny : The amount of Manu's tips is directly proportional to the level of service he recieves.
less than 20% is totally unacceptable unless it is the worst service you have ever received. most of those people are making less than 4 bucks an hour.
a lot of people in europe see americans as ignorant and not very smart
it is because of people like you
you know about communism or socialism
people like me and slomo lived through comunism, socialism and now capitalism and believe me some things today are much worse for a lot of people that they used to be (not all)
@ at this thread, and that it almost caused a world war 3

Tips tend to be given out (to varying degrees) to workers in businesses where direct personal service is an important component, but not in businesses where it is not. So it's normal to tip the person who cuts your hair or drives your taxi, but unusual to tip the people who build your house or scans your groceries at the supermarket.
And people who the customer never sees, such as the engineer who designed your mobile phone, have no real way to work on tips. However (if it was designed in the U.S.), he might have a bonus structure from his employer that pays him more if his products sell well or the company does well in general.
In general, the US economy tends to believe in paying incentives for doing your job well, either individually or as a team. The theory is that this encourages productivity in employees, and discourages people from slacking off.
Been there! Done that! I agree with you Manny!
