I'll have you know that I consistently put in much of no effort.

actually there was effort involved. Little do you know Kybosh very few extremity's protruding from his body. The one that he does have is quite large and therefore it is very difficult to press each key to type what he just did.

I would of tipped him 20% but he only called himself "alright" instead of the more appropriate "amazing"

This thread is cathartic. Anytime I'm mad I'll just post a random insult to Springs1.

I don't have a favorite really, but I like Chili's, Red Lobster, Corky's, Applebee's mexi-ranch(not regular), etc.

Since you like a lot maybe you should make it at home.I'm sure your husband would enjoy your ranch dressing dip fetish.

I don't eat wings often, no meat basically. I also hate hot wings. That's more my husband's thing wings, usually is a man's meal I find with the HOT sauce on them. I am not into that really.

I dip chicken tenders in ranch or mayo or honey mustard.

Why if it's FREE at those places huh? Also, I don't know how. I have tried once a copycat receipe for Applebee's Blackend Chicken Fettucine a dish I didn't have to alter and I LOVED that they took it off the menu around 2005 I think or so. It didn't come out like ANYTHING like the real dish. I even had some help from my mom(made it during Thanksgiving as an extra side dish). It just tasted like more like alfredo or just a creamy pasta rather than what it was. I went by the recipe. My point is, they probably don't have the "REAL" recipes out there for people to make it themselves.

I'm talking about ranch dressing not blackend chicken fettucine.

The dressing is not free the restraunts still have to pay for it.

I am talking about recipes that they don't have REAL recipes for these that are the 100% EXACT SAME as in the restaurant most likely.

Also, it's *FREE* to *US* and that's all that matters in my eyes.

[calgarybornnraised]

But it's not really "FREE to US" it's included in the menu price.

And you still need to try your ranch dressing dip fetish with your husband or is that how you landed him.

But if we pay the *SAME* PRICE if we don't order any, it *IS* free. Think about it. Especially if it's a restaurant you don't go to again, that's even more free, because you never end up paying a hike on the price due to people ordering ranch they don't charge for.

If it was in the price of the item, you'd AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE IT unless you said you didn't want it.

[KelVarnsen]

ZOMG! You forgot 3 of the 12 ranch dressings I ordered. You should be ****FIRED****.

What if you did not want ranch but house dressing or french dressing.The restaurant still has to have and hold these dressings in a fridge and be available to your every whim.Should the cost be out of pocket for the restaurant.

Have you ever been kicked out of a restaurant for being a raging -unt?

[mrdonkey]

I love this thread so much. My children will one day be told of its legend.

[Hockey_Ninja]

I have to hand it to you Springs. You never quite.

The key is they are getting *PAID* to do the job they are doing by the customer.

I nicked these three statements out because they seem to form the core of your beliefs here. That since you pay the server, the server is then obligated to bend over "backwards and forwards" to make you happy.

Hasn't it occurred to you that you DON'T pay the server? You do not pay the server's wage. You do not set the server's hours. You can not hire or fire the server. You are not the server's boss.

What your tip is, is an enhancement to the wage their actual, real boss (or rather, his company) pays them. There are things that they can do try to butter you up and get a better wage enhancement...or if they don't care (or, from the sounds of it, have ever served you before) they are not required to treat you like royalty and hope you reward them with what you deem a fair tip.

You missed the slavery comment. That, to me, is the main thrust of her position.
