[ElderCactus] Tipping

Is that Stavros Halkias?
State Fair was going on across the street from one of my old places and a vendor came in for his first meal of the day and a few beers. He realized too late that someone had picked his pocket on his way so he was literally $2.15 short on his bill.
It was tragic. He lost the thousands of dollars he'd made that day. I told him not to worry about it, I'd pay his bill. Obviously I made out great that night with the fair going on so karma dictated I do at least that much.
He said ok well when do get off? I told him I was here till bar close but not to worry about reimbursing me. He left. I assumed I'd never see him again but he did come back and asked me to come outside. I grab the bouncer to escort me out and he had one of these massive granite lawn ornaments. You know. The ones they half polish and engrave with your name or "Welcome" and you put them at on your porch or by your driveway. He tipped me a 300 lb of granite engraved with "Home Sweet Home" that usually runs you $600-1000.
How do you get 300 pounds of granite home? I'm not sure even a team lift is sufficient for that.
It sat in the parking lot at work until my boyfriend/ex could come in his pickup.
Oh yeah, and it took 2 cooks and my ex to get it in the bed. To this day I have no idea how my patron got it over there in the first place.
...oh the truck bed
I remember this picture; it’s a couple in divorce court splitting up their “assets”.
man i got five beanie babies and i am attached to like one of them because it looks like my favorite cat that died a decade ago
It looks like the old man is dabbing his way out the door.
Wha-
Well how do you leave
In the Eldercactus Universe his Name is Hank
Somebody is stuck in 1999.
Sounds nice.
Damn, in hindsight, not understanding what my parents were going through raising us, and the friendships, hobbies, and innocence I had, I miss those days now.
Now I'm my parents and I understand why they were so stressed all the time.
The worst we had to worry about is Y2K, and we got Office Space because of it. Yes please.
We grew up on the frontier of the internet too. I miss it. I'm hoping this place is the last bastion but I'm learning it's just not. Ahhh, the good ol days.
Fuck this tipping culture of America.
the only tipping I do is cow tipping
