I stand by my remarks. You feel well-qualified in painting all LARPers with the same brush - which is fine. Not saying I've had much contact with them or anything, and it's not a stretch of the imagination to assume a good deal of truth in what you say. However, I have had extensive interactions with members of the service industry, and I would like to give the finger to almost every single one that I've had to deal with. Yeah, I get that your job sucks ass and that it's boring and tedious and just damn drudgery, but that's no excuse to be rude to me, to roll your eyes when I'm trying to decide what I want to get, and so on. As a side note, there is one concept that so few in the industry are familiar with. Do you know what TIP means? It's actually an acronym for "To Insure Promptitude." If a server's service is lacking, late, or otherwise not to my satisfaction, he or she shouldn't expect to be getting much gratuity for suck-ass service. I don't give out hard earned money to people just for existing. If the aforementioned description doesn't fit you, then you're in the group of servers that I'd tip handsomely for a job well done. But like I said - we're playing a 95/5 game, and too bad if you don't like being lumped with the other 95.
