I would just die! That might be the rudest thing I've ever heard about supposedly professional people. Green, girl, you know we are uppity about hotels. I can't travel with 90% of the people we know. I would rather lop off one of my perfectly pedicured toes than stay at some damned Days Inn! CordieB, 25 cents? I would just die!

You are by far the least of the offenders I know. As that blog post demonstrated I am often in restaurant hell when I dine with people outside the inner circle of friends. That said i appreciate you letting go of the free lemonade... to my way of think if in 30 years the only faux pas I have every had to chide you about is free lemonade and Kena, and all you have to fuss about is too big pants/sweatsuits and boyfriends issues then we are doing damn good! This is why we have to stay friends. No one else would ever over look all the other stuff we do, and hide from the world behind our excellent dinner etiquette and snooty hotel choices.

Since I was a waitress myself in my younger days, I'm a real stickler for fair tipping. I used to have lunch with two ladies at work who would tip the waitress every day with a quarter. It tore my nerves up - especially since we went to the same restaurant every day (Officer's Club on the post) and they were both high paid civilian workers. They too made their own lemonaid--torn sugar packs would be all over the table with trace sugar spilling from them, and they had the nerve to ask for water with lemon refills. Sometimes, they would split sandwiches and always split desert. Now your small lasp in taste is nothing compared to those two. But if you pride yourself in being a "black snob" - that little dinner time habit will have to be eliminated. Super perspective! And funny too. - I've thought about these things before, but never discussed before. Thanks for sharing. Peace, Light and Love, Cordieb. Great article!
