Hi, my name is Randy Hill and I am just one of thousands of people around the world, tired and frustrated with the lack of consideration that is displayed by a growing "demographic" that I call, "the great unwashed and ill-mannered." People who can't seem to get outside their little world long enough to see the stress that they create on the rest of the population.

If you’re a waitress, try adding a smiley face to the bill
By Randy | May 26, 2007
Temple University psychologist Bruce Rind tried a little experiment at an Atlantic City hotel. The room was configured in a way that the hotel guest couldn’t see what the weather was like outside. Rind found that if the room service waiter mentioned that it was sunny, his/her tip would average 24% of the bill. Mention that it was rainy and the percentage would go down to 19%.
Waitresses that put a little smiley face on the bill boosted their tips by 5%. Male waiters that did the same just got weird looks.
