Steve
Nice post – I certainly got much more weepy as I got older and especially once I had kids of my own.
I actually came here for much more mundane reasons.
I am an Aussie and, as you know, we have no tipping culture here. I recently returned from a trip to the US and think I mostly handled the tipping ok (thanks to your helpful insight). I do, however, have one or two questions.
I paid for almost everything on a credit card. When I paid at the end of the meal it wasn’t difficult to add the tip to the credit card print-out.
However, two times I ate at buffets, once in Vegas in a casino, once in SLC at a buffet restaurant. At the casino I paid upfront and the cc slip had a spot for tip on it. How the heck am I supposed to put in a tip BEFORE I have even entered the restaurant? I have no idea about the service I am about to receive.
At both really the only service we received was bussing our table. What is the proper tip for that?
Thanks.

HAHAHAHAHA! This is hilarious! I work in a small town in Montana, been a server at one of the better restaurants for 8 years. We have a lot of wealthy people from all over who buy property and eat at our restaurant. It’s super nuts! Somehow though the wealthiest of our guests are the least picky and almost embarrassed about not wanting the mashed potatoes or bread and feel the need to explain they are cutting the carbs/gluten-free. They are so nice. But it’s the “kind of” wealthy, or the “I act like I am wealthy because I drive this car or wear this handbag” people that announce their opinion on every little thing about the food, except for the fact that it looks and tastes awesome. Really? You took a bite, said it looks great and tastes great but you are disappointed because no one explained to you that veal picatta has flour involved, because you didn’t read the menu description and weren’t listening to your server. These people need to go to whole foods, just cook for themselves, and stay home.
