Let me just state outright, I am a bug, mosquito, insect magnet. I like to joke that it is my very sweet blood that attracts them. I do believe that to be true, in part. The last few weeks in NYC I was hiving everyday from one thing […]
Every country has a different set of norms around tipping. And, they keep evolving. Even within country, tipping differs by region and service. Some people tip 15%; I usually do minimum 20%. Some people just tip on the pre-tax anount; other’s tip on the whole check anount. Some […]
