Oh, my! Poor little Ms Omar. What if they sling the drink out the swinging doors, and there's no one there to catch it. What's a poor girl from Somalia to do?! lol. :) gw

You're welcome. A 20% gratuity has been included in your bill. But you also may choose 25% or 22%. Now let's see: 25% of nothing is still nothing, I think. Cheers, Gershon

That's right. Ilhan will forbear, but then again, she doesn't drink. ~ Al Capone

Oh, I hope not. There will be more drunks on the street! I recently learned that Nancy Pelosi is a teetotaler. She doesn't drink at all! Well, that puts that rumor to rest.

More drunks on the street -- and the sidewalk too. Minnesota had better not reelect Ilhan then. (Don't get me started on that subject. lol). :) gw
