  9. Look at it this way - The waiter has to get paid somehow. Higher prices, tips, a service charge added to the bill. The tip system creates the most incentive for quality work. And don't feel sorry for them - average city/restaurant they make ~ $100 for 5 or 6 hours of work - best paying job around for someone going to school. Some countries in Europe have the service charge added, right?
  10. Nothing. Then the waiter goes out back and kicks garbage cans for a few minutes. This is going back 20 years, but I think everything works the same now. Salary + tips must be above minimum wage - averaged over a pay period. With tips, most waiters will make at least 150% of min wage. It all depends on how busy the place is. They have to tip out the bartender, busboys. So, if you ordered a $100 meal and didn't tip, he'd end up losing money on your table. When a waiter hears a European accent he cringes. Not your fault. Just a different system. How does it work in Europe?
  11. In America, waiters and waitresses are paid a salary ~ 50% of minimum wage. Tipping 15% is expected. I'm guessing in Europe they have a much higher base salary.

  14. start here http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/baseball.htm Then, just by listening to a good announcer you'll pick up much more. If you read this short book - Tim McCarver's Baseball for Brain Surgeons and Other Fans: Understanding and Interpreting the Game So You Can Watch It Like a Pro - you'll know more than 90% of fans. Sorry, I couldn't find a link for a free ebook. Good luck. Baseball is an awesome game. You can watch it intensely, studying every little thing - or just casually, keeping track of balls, strikes, and outs. Soon you'll find yourself saying something like "Wow,
  15. No luck yet? It seems like you should be able to get a real nice office chair in Thailand for $300. Maybe ask someone who works for a big company who their supplier is. And this might seem to be OT, but if you're having back problems you might want to use one of those big exercise balls at least part of the time.
