For those of you going to WMC (or Miami...)

...was cleaning my desk and found a receipt from last year.



Gotta love paying an extra 29% in fees.

Still cheaper than London!

Are you going this year, Del?

Really? What is it in London?

...yea I'm going March 21-26. You?

I laugh at Ontario's 13.5% tax when It's only 5% in alberta. Sure, the people are generally better but I can work out 5% in my head instantly with your weird system of not displaying final prices!

For Belvedere you'll be looking at around �15, in the nicer places (about $23 at current rates).

Nice! I should be going again yeah, nothing is set in stone yet, though. I really want to do DEMF this year, but I may end up having to choose between the two.

I'll know soon!

im guessing that's gratuity

The weather last year was perfect. I hope it's not too hot this year.

Aaaaaaaand that's why I've never bothered going to WMC.

Everywhere in Miami charges gratuity automatically at all times of year. Must be too many tourists not familiar with tipping customs to rely on common sense.

and looks like ill be staying home drinking my $4.00 belvedere at my local bar... was thinking about going but i cant afford that this time around...


edit: also no sales tax, on anything

yeah but wtf is 'common sense' here?
does 'common sense' dictate that you should tip 20% on alcohol? if that's the case why not just charge 20% extra for the booze on the menu??? i'm not saying this as somebody who doesn't tip (buck a beer, and i don't usually drink much else at bars) but rather as somebody who just DOESN'T GET IT. If you get a table and spend say 300 dollars on a bottle what are you paying the extra 60 dollar for? Having the bottle opened and brought over with ice? Is that worth 60 dollars?

Don't say 'if you can afford the bottle then you can afford the tip' because that's bull shit - just charge 360 instead of 300 on the menu. Tipping shouldn't be mandatory, and especially not over 10% (again, at restaurants I rarely tip <15% but I don't see it at bars - they don't do dick in most cases to deserve the tip).
