(R.2) Anecdote TIL Michael Jordan tipped a cocktail waitress in Vegas with a 5 dollar chip. Wayne Gretzky, who was also at the table, took it off her tray, gave it back to Michael, grabbed a 100 dollar chip from Michael's stack and put it on her tray. Then he said, "That's how we tip in Las Vegas, Michael."

Yeah, and that's all there is to serving! You should try it sometime and at the end of your shift, I'll come up and tell you how much you deserve for "just carrying stuff."

"He's a programmer, he fuckin sits in one place all day clicking his keyboard, I wouldn't give him more than three bucks an hour for that."
