When I was younger going to school I worked as a waitress at Bob's Big Boy. I
worked one Christmas Eve and the worst part was that the tips were lousy.

So if you have to go out --make the tip worthwhile.

We had to drive 6 hours for thanksgiving last year and when we found an open
Burger King the first thing I did at the drivethrough window was thank all the
people working so we could have lunch. Guess we could have packed a lunch.
