Does anyone know what T.I.P.S. stands for and when to use it? (T= to I= insure P=prompt S-service)
I had an incident about thirty years ago, I received the and noticed the total was quite a bit more than it should have been, then saw a 15% Gratuity had been added I questioned the waitress , and the manager came to the table. and tried to tell me that was normal, I politely told him that I decided when to tip or not to, a bit of blustering later I paid the proper amount. I was told not to come back I just smiled and said if I wanted to get Scre### I would just stop and see his wife before the meal .
while this was going on my wife slipped the waitress a generous tip while the manager was getting red in the face.

Talk about coincidence!

The latest episode of the Simpsons has the family eating in a restaurant. When they get the bill, there is "Service Charge" added, and they expect a tip, as well. Naturally, the situation gets ridiculous, with Homer being hounded to leave tips everywhere he goes. He finally winds up in Little Europe, where there is no tipping and no mystery about how much he will have to pay for things.

Extra charges are creeping in on us, and we are not only becoming accustomed to them, but some people even agree that we should pay more than the posted price. "Baaa! Baaa! Lead me anywhere, and I will follow."

I pixel peep. If there are windows, I want to see what’s on the table inside the house (metaphorically). I want to get lost in the details. I remember seeing a photo taken on a glass plate in the 1800’s. The photographer shot a town from across the river. You could just keep blowing it up and see more and more of that town. Everything was crystal clear. It blew me away. I don’t know how the photographer did it.
It just sparked my imagination in a way most other photos of that size couldn’t.
I have no idea whether my camera can reproduce that effect at A3 size, but I’m going to try.
