A few observations:
1) Springs1 will never come to Canada as her husband is against places that are anti-gun.
2) Springs1 I think part of the issue here is (a) I didn't know where you were from so worked on the assumption that you were Canadian, (b) now that I know that you're from New Orlenes the cuture around restaurants is (probably) different. Therefore it could be you order the glass there, whereas here you order the contents. This also explains why you think everyone here is wrong about how restaurants are staffed and tips distributed. (It's even different from Calgary to where I live, where I live servers keep 100% of the tip, no sharing at all).
3) If you ramble and change your argument enough you'll eventually get people who are to parts of what you're saying. I wonder if the posters above agree with everything or just small parts of what Springs1 said.
The other thing is the internet has what a billion people on it? Eventually you'll find people who agree. What's dangerous is taking a less than one percent of interactions as validation. Even the KKK and Westboro Baptist Church have peoe that agree with them. Doesn't mean that they are right.
4) Springs1, why do you go onto message boards of other places and cultures and tell them how servers should act?
I read this article this morning and thought it was interesting:
