Dear Clamp,
So what happens when you get to Europe and you're cornered by Cat Ranchers about going out to dinner. Your Captain says he will go with them, you feel obligated, you go. Dinner bill comes, you ate $15 U.S.D. worth of food but after all of the money is put in your table of seven comes up $60 short and the Captain already is paying double what he should and the Cat Ranchers seem oddly tongue tied at this moment. What do you do then? Thanks, ****ed in Milan |

I think the captain pays then has the right to act annoyed at the Cat Ranchers for the rest of the trips.
Of course, you could always pull the "I gotta go to the bathroom" trick and get the heck out of dodge and watch the Cat Ranchers pay the entire bill, then reimburse your share the next day at duty in. Claim you had the "tummy grumblies." Of course they would be drawing comparisons between you and their ex-husbands for the rest of the rotation. |

You feel bad in this situation because they'll work it out so that there is no tip. Ironic in a profession where 98% of all the talk is about how ungrateful and rude customers are.
The short answer is to never ever go out with the cat ranchers...ever. The blind expectation that we should pay for them is unsat. Philly |

Thanks, ****ed in Milan Tell them to call their grandkids and have them wire some money, or they are gonna be washing dishes if they wanna see Mittens, Cuddles, Fluffy, Snuffles, Bill, and their 21 other companions again. (in reality...youre gonna be eating it-and they are also going to be eating.... your crew meal) |

Obviously Clamp will have a better solution to this dilemma but here is a trick that I know works very well: When the bill arrives grab it and tell them to split the cost of the food (give them the total cost divided by the number of Cat ranchers) and that you will buy the drinks due to the good company you had. They will jump on splitting the cost of ALL food and you're left with the drinks only. The Captain will feel bad not to help with the bill and pay for the drinks - wolla - you're home free and looked upon as a hero from all. The next morning, go and buy coffee for the crew and now you're a hero again. Cost of the trip; $20,-, treatment from your Cat Ranchers; priceless.
Just my $ 0.02...:D You are officially my cat rancher advice go-to anonymous web board name. All cat rancher knowledge are belong to you. |
