At a tip of $1.00 per member, it's enough for a lot of hot rum toddys.

BTW, this is my small contribution to the safety of TV. Who would want a drunk garbage man driving that big truck? No thanks are necessary.

Excuse me while I go get a drink. (Only two bottle left.)

One last note: please leave Makers Mark or Jack Daniels.

good one.

I tend to restrict my tipping to those that provide a more personalized one on one level of service. So the barber, bartender/wait staff, maids are all in that category. But an attendant at DD that pours me a cup of coffee is not, in spite of that silly tip cup they put in front of you. And neither is the mail carrier who I've never even seen.
