At least that's something! One can hope the tipping culture at your location is better than what it is here. Many people I know consider "keep the change" on a 195NOK bill paid with a 200NOK note to be a generous gesture, you see...

It really depends on the person. The restaurant I work for attracts a much older and conservative crowd so sometimes it it just like you described. Tipping culture in America is weird. Often the customer demands that the server bend over backwards for them in exchange for a livable wage. Thankfully it's not always like that but it can get stressful sometimes when being able to make a car insurance payment is literally at the mercy of some stranger.

Yes, I can absolutely understand that last sentence... So, voting for Trump, I assume?  ;)

Cravings can be unbearable, can't they?

Yes, especially when there's none of the craved thing around, or when my wallet does not permit me to buy any.

I permit myself one soy mocha frappacino from Starbucks every other week for this reason. But I crave them just about every day.

God made me an atheist, who are you to question his wisdom!

There be a story behind that, and The Asmo wants it.  :smilenod:

A job that's not being moved overseas?
A war avoided?
A lump that was just a fat deposit after all?
A fire extinguished?
Everyone survived?

...Any combination thereof?

Well, that's a relief, despite it usually being the case :)

The Asmo claims victory for His middle guess. (He did suspect that that was the right-ish one as He knows people who reacted to the same kind of news in much the same way)

Yep, always a worry. Here we get 3-yearly NHS mammograms up to age 70, and yet age is the biggest factor of all.
