Yes. I went to a restaraunt with a large group of friends, the waitress was new and most of us had special orders. There's always one bad apple and she was quite rude to the waitress, the rest of us were not and were trying to be helpful/nice about it. Most of our orders were screwed up. It was a nightmare. the waitress ended up crying and we ended up giving her a huge tip.
Would you tip a waiter/waitress if they gave you a minimal amount of service?
I am glad that your group tipped that poor girl -- you never really know what is going on in her world (trust me, I worked at a restaurant under very crazy conditions -- cooks fighting in the back, one head-waitress that RULED over the others, workers that didn't pool their efforts and would leave supplies short [e.g. taking the last drop of coffee but not setting up a new pot to drip, etc.] ... so behind the scenes can be at the least, an eye-opener!!Quote:

Would you ever send a tip in the back for the cook?
I've never considered it, probably not. Wait people rely on tips, cooks don't.
Would you take a job you had not interest in if it paid a great deal of money?
That's easy, yes...
Would you take a job in which you did something that you considered morally wrong if it paid a great deal of money?
I have a high sense of ethics. No, but to say I wouldn't be tempted would be lying...
Would you pull the most outragous prank you could think of on your best friend?
I would pull any prank I could think of on my best friend...just ask Poppy.
Would you be mad if your friend pulled an outragous prank on you?
Yes, extremely. Pranks can destroy a life.
Same question!
Yes, very much. I agree with you, Pensive. I keep away from pranksters. (Sorry, Granny. No offense intended. :D )
Same q
i dislike pranks, and I don't do them myself.
Would you participate in a zucchini eating contest?
I like zucchini but those eating contests are repulsive. So no.
Would you excuse yourself from a dinner table if you had a non-stop case of hiccups?
yes.
if you were in a plane and the mother in front of you had a crying baby would you give her angry looks although it was apparent she was doing all she could to calm the child?
Not intentionally, and if I did it would be unintentional and would only mean that I was at the end of my own rope - I understand that kids misbehave.
Would you tell the rude onlooker off if he/she told you need to learn to discipline your child?
Depends on what my child would have done and also depends on the way she would say that. :)
Same question!
I may be to embarrassed to respond.
Would you date a coworker that is of a lower job rating then you?
I wouldn't date any co-worker as love and business make poor partners (oh the things I have seen...).
Would you ever volunteer to help out at a huge dog party hosted by Vets?
I'm not sure what a dog party entails. (that's a cheap pun)
But I would sure help out because I like dogs, and if it's a cute lady vet, like the one at the clinic my doggy was at, I would like it even more.
That is, you mean veterinarians right, not Veterans of any other kind? Because then I would not.
Would you switch places with a sewage worker for a day to find out about such a dirty job?
I presently would switch a day with about anyone to have the joy of working again, but just to see how dirty the job was, I think I could just interview the worker at the end of the shift and get a pretty-good picture of how nasty the job really was.
A good question, well wroth passing on: What say you to Aimus' question?
I would. I would switch with just about anybody as well just to see what it would be like, there are few exceptions - I couldn't work in a slaughter house, nor could I work at rescuing those humane society animals.
Or I could just watch that TV show - Dirty Jobs.
Same question:
Would you switch places with a sewage worker for a day to find out about such a dirty job?
Yes, I meant Veterinarian -- sorry 'bout that! :)Quote:

Next question, would you ever get a bread making machine and set it up to bake fresh bread while you slept, just to wake up to that heavenly smell of home-made-bread? :D
No. I had a breadmaker and hardly ever used it.
If you had all your music on the computer would you sell your CD's?
If I owned any sure. I don't think anyone would buy them thought. CD'S are so outdated.
would you sell your ipod in exchange for 100 books?
I do not own an ipod, but yeah, I'd exchange one for that many books!
Would you turn in a twenty dollar bill you found at a 7-11 convenience store?
No. I'm sorry but I'm poor.
Same q>
Probably not unless I knew who it belonged too.
Would you make a day of watching all 3 Godfather movies?
:blush: and then quote then to random people? That's such a Baki-thing to do :lol:
Would you dance in the rain right now?
yes, yes and again yes!
would you?
I really want to!
Is anyone else here in the litnet?
Dancing in the rain? Depends on where here in my mountains. A couple places it's a good way to invite death by exposure. They have warning signs at the base of the mountains to warn hikers.
Same question.
Dance in the rain? Oh yes indeedy doooooo!!
Would you ever kiss a sea lion, if given the opportunity?
If I can kiss an aligator I can kiss a sea lion.
Would you ride an elephant if the oppotunity arises?
been there done that. at the zoo. :D
would you wake up your kitten if she was sleeping soundly because you didn't want her to be wide awake and running around during the time that you're supposed to be asleep?
No. And besides meh kitty and I share the same sleep habits :lol:
same q>
yes, and I did as a matter of fact. those cats wake me up in the middle of the night and then I am late for work the next day so they deserve a taste of their own medicine. hmmph.
would you lie to your boss about why you were late for work?
I have. Made up a veeery convincing story about being sick all night. I couldn't admit that I had just overslept ... :D Would do it again, but don't tell my boss! ;)
Same q
No, I just say I'm gonna be late and leave it at that, I don't like lying about it. Besides my boss doen't work at my site so he never knows if I'm there or not.
Same q
Yeah Offcourse. I would tell my boss that I was kinda sick on the way to the office and had to visit a doctor. I would prtend to be sick the entire day ;)
Would you sleep off on your work table?
Possibly..
Same question.
yup. tend to fall asleep in random places, example: bathtub, school, ceiling.
Would you lie to your best friend knowing that if you didn't if would hurt him/her but if you didn't it would hurt you?
You mean if I did it would hurt me? It depends on how serious of a thing it was, I guess, but then, if it seriously hurt me maybe it would seriously hurt them to tell the truth...I dunno, I would say generally yes..
same question.
Perhaps not lie, but do whatever it took to change the subject!
Same question...
