The Big Bang...
Black Holes...
Anyone's god...
Why the Chiefs cannot draft their own gawddamned starting quarterback who can win - any games or even a playoff game.

In most places in America - the wait staff split their received tips with those people who are helping them to serve and clean the dining establishment. In my youth, I dated a very congenial and friendly waitress who worked at a mid-range steakhouse (not a chain). She helped me figure out a few things about tipping. The rest I've worked out on my own.
If you bring me a drink in a bar where I'm sitting at a table in a lounge and I'm not fetching it myself from the bartender, I'll often hand out an extra $2-3.00 over the cost of the beverage. Incidentally - the bartender always receives a generous tip equal to 50% or 100% of the cost of the beverage if I order it directly from him or her. That's just good sense I figure.
For meals, that often slides up to $10-15-20-25 (just for myself). After all, she or he is doing all the legwork for me, and that is part of the experience.
I get to be a lazy eater. Incidentally, I've rarely enjoyed a $150 or higher expense just to eat a meal. Anything that high or higher would be a true rarity for me.
In the past and in the present, whenever I use a corporate credit card to purchase a meal or treat clients/coworkers - I've never been one to splurge or go apeshit crazy either. There's a bit of the tightwad in my blood when I'm handling a company's credit card...for a few different reasons. I don't add the tip to the credit card either - that's an out of pocket expense. I suppose if you own the company and hence pay the bill, or you're an officer or salesman - you have quite a bit more leniency granted to you.
Do I tip a waitress or waiter more for bringing me a 5 course prime rib dinner than I should for her or him bringing me a 5 course chicken meal? Should I tip more for swordfish than I would for walleye?
Simply basing the tip off the cost of the meal is inadequate, in my opinion. I do tend to keep a running count in my head which won't allow me to not leave at least 15-20% of the cost of a meal - as a tip - provided the service was adequate and courteous.
If the service is also friendly, more helpful than ordinary or indeed memorable - that is rewarded as well, I don't expect those extras and I consider the behavior to be a bonus. That is part of the dining experience isn't it...and it adds to the overall enjoyability of the meal. If the service is just barely adequate...15% is the tip. If the service is intolerable...I've often just gotten up and left, dropping whatever amount of paper money on the table to cover the cost of the drink(s) I've been served, plus minimal coin change leftover.
It is entertainment and it sometimes beats the hell out of me going to a grocery store, gathering the ingredients, slaving over a range and oven and chopping block... not to mention having to do all the cleaning and utensil storage myself.
I never send food back to the kitchen for any reason. I figure the chances are very high that you are definitely not going to want to eat anything that has to come back to you - after you've done that. If you've ever worked in the industry - you'll know why I say that and won't do it.

I'm sure people who've read the books already know this, but I sure hope something happens to keep Tyrion from losing his head. All men must die, I'm just not ready for him to be one of 'em yet.
Tyrion is safe for several more HBO episodes. He takes a little trip, escorted by someone quite unlikely to meet someone even more unlikely.
Westeros wasn't large enough for him.

Dude you had to fetch coffee for someone ten years your junior? That sucks... But makes sense.
In your world, sexual harassment at your office is probably a daily occurrence too, and expected.
In the corporate world Pussycat, everyone fetches their own stuff.
In sole proprietorships where you excel, you, as the boss and ruler of your universe - can pretty much tell people to go jump in a lake and they gotta do it if they want a paycheck.
In your universe nobody should even look at you oddly, or you'll have them out the door and on their ass faster than they could bark, "sorry, boss'. And then you'd deny them unemployment insurance...but knowing you - you probably work 'em just enough hours where they can't qualify for it anyway and as for benefits... heheh, they get 31 hours a week and they're paid in cash - that's their benefit.

I had a boss once (he was about 10 years younger than me) who I spilled coffee on about half a dozen times over a four year period. His coffee, my coffee or just some random cup of someone else's coffee.
I stained his shirts, his slacks or just spilled hot wet coffee all over his desk & paperwork.
He'd bump into me, I'd bump into him or he'd turn and knock over a cup of coffee I'd just set down on his desk.
It got to be quite the joke, but I think I was the only one laughing.
Things ya never wanna say to your boss: "You wanted to see me, Steve?"

The frill of Trinket's jean shorts caught caught fire while she was probing her camel toe and dripping wax upon her sandals.
