I don't drink much soda and even more rarely go to a restaurant. Yet I remember going to a small place and ordering a Coke... between the ice and the water to reconstitute the soda the chlorinated water was so bad that I couldn't drink it.Don't drink coffee, but I don't ever recall running into that with a restaurant fountain drink. Occasionally they'll "forget" and put ice in it, but never give me a hard time when I send it back. Not paying full price for a glass that's only 30% soda and the rest ice. Never really got the thing about ice in a fountain drink anyway, it's generally cold enough for me right out of the spout, but apparently I'm in the minority.![]()
Yep, I know that I'm getting old. The last time I ate at a restaurant tipping norm was 15%.
I generally would put that much on a card and drop a few bucks on the table... some for the government to tax, some for the wait staff.
