I laughed till I cried

I needed to take a moment and rant. Its relatively unimportant.

The Food Network has a show Rachel Ray's "$40 a day." This show annoys me simply because of the tax + tip combination. Which tends to be tax plus maybe a whole $1.00 in tip. The prices may be wrong...its my best guess from memory. She's going through her eggs were $3.75, coffee $1.75, than tax + tip is $1.35.

Now she says she's getting $1.50 off her eggs, but she's tipping on the full price. I just laughed. In this case, a single person with a cheap breakfast. Most waitstaff want more than a dollar, but would pick it up and move on with their day.

But the great part is that she tips on the full price on her next 2 meals and each time its only a $1.00.

I lack the comedic timing to make people truly understand how funny this was.
