Tipping Guide

By Karen on April 22, 2011 | www.livelifesimple.co

The Groupon Guide to: Tipping

Tipping can be confusing: for instance, children are not expected to tip their parents, but parents are expected to tip their children (it’s called an “allowance”). Here’s a guide to proper tipping:

Waiters should be tipped 20% of your meal’s cost or left 20% of your meal.
At fancy hotels, bellhops must be allowed to take an item of their choice from any of your bags.
In addition to getting a free mansion, mayors must be tipped a dollar amount equivalent to everyone in town’s phone number added up and multiplied by two.
Tip your wedding DJ the surprise of a lifetime—it was his wedding all along!
Your hairstylist’s tip should be $5 more than the price of the cut, plus all your loose hair woven into a baby blanket.
Your stuntman should be tipped over a railing! And then tipped the height of the railing in dollars.
Not technically a tip, but you owe your postman 10% of any money that he delivers.
Doctors should be tipped all the cans of pumpkin-pie filling you can spare.
A wife who sells her beautiful hair to buy you a pocket-watch chain should be tipped one ironic comb and one copy of O. Henry’s short stories to make sure this never happens again.
Tip yourself a whole day of relaxation—you deserve it.

Although they’re called taste buds, without proper attention, they can easily turn into viciously passive aggressive taste frenemies. Keep your tongue from gossiping behind your back with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of fresh, local fare at Boot, located in Norfolk.

Boot sources its fresh, seasonal ingredients from local farms to ensure a sustainable dining experience that cultivates regional character while deepening its roots in the community. The restaurant’s evolving menu is infused with French and Italian influences, but it maintains its true footing in homegrown Virginian vittles. This season’s savory starters include a fresh arugula and field-greens salad with cherry balsamic vinaigrette and parmesan ($7), and an aromatic plateful of Eastern Shore clams steamed in tomato pepper broth with grilled bread ($11). For dinner ($17–$26), anchor mouth bones into Boot’s fresh, Atlantic–caught fish of the day, and landlubbing herbivores can get a meatless mouthful of local veggies served on the chef’s vegetable sampler. For a comforting punch of protein, opt for the grilled rib-eye steak with sweet-potato fries and Boot’s special sauce.

Twirl forks in fresh plates of pasta ($17–$22, less for half orders), such as the black fettuccine tossed with seared scallops and thyme citrus butter or the potato gnocchi, which rolls in a tomato ragu with an entourage of braised chicken, leeks, carrots, and parsnips. Catch up with bygone gym teachers over energizing cups of fresh-squeezed juice, or sate stringent sweet teeth with Boot’s housemade sodas and syrups.
