been taking big swings + a little rant on tipping

first ill get to the poker - the swings have been all over the place - past couple days went +1300, -2500, +1800, +3500, -700,etc.....not too many breakeven days.....Ive moved up to 8th on the race - im putting on the heat putting up 5k fame points a day, smoking the guys right ahead of me....Im thinking 5th place for 7k should be easy to obtain.....Im also using some ap credits to purchase a bunch of ps3s from the ap store - im going to resell them on ebay since ap caps the amount of credits u can trade infor cash monthly....should be a 20k+ month easy

so I was reading something on 2p2 in regards to tipping....I think tipping is ridiculously overrated and overdone in this country....When I think of tipping, its the idea that you give a tip when service goes above and beyond expectations...If Im at a restaurant for example and the waiter/waitress does an amazing job, then I should be tipping...the sad part about this country is these employers pay employees shit and thus the employees are forced to rely on customers tips.......the funniest example was when I was in aruba - we all went out to eat at a nice steak restaurant - anyways the bill came to 480 or something like that - included in the bill was a 15% service charge....First of all this service charge is a joke - its just a way to sneak in 15% ontop of bill and theres not much you can do about it....then we leave no tip on top of that and the waitress comes over complaining about it......you seriously want us to leave you 30% of the bill ontop of paying the bill?? its not even like there service was any good - they didnt really speak english andwere alittle slow with the orders...they shouldnt of been tipped anything, not even that 15% service charge....bottom line is a tip should be given when service goes beyond expectations...if the service is just alright, then no tip should be given......tipping in general is way out of control and employers should really stop forcing the customer to pay employee salaries
