I hate it when chicks "pretend" like they want to pay the bill or chip in, but they really don't. They get all wishy washy. Looks dumb.

I expect to pay early on. Advice to women, if you don't want to pay or think you shouldn't, DON'T! If you do, grab the bill and just do it and take charge. Everybody will feel easier.

>Considering the tone of this thread, does refering to women >as "chicks" look smart?

>I am sure the "chicks" on the forum will thank you for the advice

Would you prefer "breasted Americans?"

Pay attention to the message, and you might inquire how I refer to males before you go off on silly labels.

Sorry, my bad for using logic....

Sorry but I don't understand this 'tipping' culture. Is the pay that bad that tips are the only way to make a decent wage?
Here in the UK I only tip if I've had good service in a restrant or a certain member of staff in the hotel has gone out of their way to make the stay enjoyable, but it's just not expected over here.
Whenever I'm in the states I tend to round the bill up the nearest $ and then add $5 or $10. Don't know if that's okay, don't find me losing sleep over it

Yes, if you are able to get tips the minimum wage drops from 5.15 an hour to something like 2.30.

My German professor mentioned this. In Germany it is customary to just round up the bill and maybe add a dollar. Then again, they also get paid more because of it. And the expected service is different "Germans come to the US and wonder why the waiter/waitress won't leave them the hell alone, and vice versa for Americans in Germany."

Proposed Dutch law would ban unsolicited toe-licking

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) -- Unsolicited toe-licking would be banned in the Netherlands under a law sought by the Dutch Labor party after police were unable to prosecute a would-be Casanova with a taste for female toes because he had committed no crime.

A police spokesman said Friday a man had been detained after women sunning themselves in Rotterdam's parks and beaches claimed he had snuck up on them and begun to lick their toes.

"The officers had to let him go. Licking a stranger's toes is rather unusual but there is really nothing criminal about it," the spokesman said.

Dutch press reports said the man, who is about 35, had been licking the toes of strangers for about three years but was only recently caught by police.

Peter van Heemst, a Labor member of parliament, asked Christian Democrat Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner Friday to explain why Dutch laws forbid littering but not uninvited toe-licking. Van Heemst demanded an amendment prohibiting it.

"It is a violation of one's privacy and one's physical integrity," he told a local news agency. "The norm... is that no one should touch your body if you haven't asked them first."

A spokesman for Donner said the minister could not immediately comment.

Looks like there's trouble afoot...
