Today, I went out for coffee-like beverages with my friend,
Joanna. My drink was something like $2.50 and I paid with a five dollar bill.
Joanna commented on how that’s a generous tip, and I proceeded to explain that
as I am in a really crappy financial situation, I can understand that good tips
can help people. Although giving good tips may not be the best thing in the
world for me, I believe in good karma and just being nice to others. Karma people,
and it exists. This is a proven theory because twenty minutes after giving a
good tip to a server who steeped tea for me, I got in a car accident and lived.
This is not sarcasm, if I had not been wearing a seatbelt I am confident that I
would be dead, severely paralyzed or without memory like Rachel McAdams
character in The Vow. Safety first, kids and always leave good tips no matter
if the service was good or bad.
Disclaimer: the only thing harmed in the making of this anecdote was the car. Rip bumper and right headlight.
Wow, you were lucky! Though I guess karma didn't save your car's bumper and headlight. Whether it's your kindness or your seat belt that saved your life , it's certainly always worth tipping the waiting staff well, you never know when you may have to walk a mile in their shoes.
