During a 3 hour airport appreciation we decide to go to a sit down restaurant for lunch where he proceeds to get into an argument with the waitress over the inadequacy of the 10% employee discount. Mind you, we are talking about a $15.00 burger/fries and soft drink here. And not that I expected anything different, he blurted out "separate checks" before the server even finished the question.
Yeah, I'll never understand how some of these guys (gals) are so out of touch with reality and so f'n cheap. I always buy 1st yr FOs food when we go out. If they want to contribute, I'll ask them to leave the tip.
