it always strikes me odd that so many dibbers are overly keen to make sure during their holiday that the servers (who are fighting each other to serve there) are getting fantastic "tips!... im sure they are in control of their own career!... Relax enjoy your holiday and forget about how much they make!

I tip what ever I feel the service deserves, so that ranges from next to nothing up to 20%.

Not sure why ,MH, but I found myself reading this thread early this morning- I doff my hat to you- it started off as a good idea and staysd that way and it's been entertaining all the way through.
In terms of what I consider 'excellent service" I consider it when the server is attentive without being over the top with genuine warmth and interest. It must be a difficult balance for them because most customers are different. My "mission" when I visit the states relates to ordering a cooked breakfast and prompting all the questions the server will ask you (how do you want your eggs, what sort of toast, tea or coffee, orange juice, etc etc) ...maybe I'm just not a morning person. As for typos - count me in the "I should check more before i post" club. I tend to dibb most of the time on my phone which has a "helpful" habit of correcting to what it thinks I should be typing not what I want. In recent times I have started to severely reduce the number of new "general chat (just for fun - join in) " threads being posted because in my opinion there are far too many of them. I know I used to be guilty of this but I have recognised that. I'm not saying - for one moment - I am leaving the dibb - I'm just reducing the number of new threads I start unless they are def travel related. This is what's right for me - personal choice. MH - once again - congratulations on what I think is a really good thread. A lot has happened since your started it! Just in case someone else picks this thread up in another couple of years at the time of writing we are in the middle of the Covid 19 lock down ,Jennifer Lawrence has gone into hiding and the world is devoid of Costa- how is MH coping? Take care everyone ! Edited at 06:34 AM. |

That’s a great shame BB your threads in general chat will be greatly missed, especially in these troubled times! One would think that the more random, trite, irrelevant and whimsical type threads are needed more than ever now with travel restricted.
I do hope you reconsider and continue posting in the general thread ... just for fun ... join in... Failing that , take care and stay safe - the dibb wouldn’t be the same without you. Regards SF |

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had to check my calendar to confirm it’s 2020 and not George Orwell’s 1984... I thought the mods acted as censors ? It’s all about choice at the end of the day .. you aren’t forced to read them or contribute! I wondered where all the memes (a BB thread) had come from? I thought people had created them at home ? But they are off the internet? Today’s learning point! Edited at 07:46 AM. |

Thank you both SF and Colette. Being hungover may have affected my thinking this morning !
I completely get about stuff being recycled from Facebook - without FB my meme thread would have died ages ago
