Ada dua jenis lokasi camping yang tersedia, satu untuk rombongan besar, seperti office outing, workshop, dan satu lagi untuk keluarga.<br /><br />Beragam aktivitas luar ruangan yang menyenangkan juga tersedia, mulai dari flying fox hingga paintball. Semua tenda di sini dilengkapi dengan kantong tidur, listrik, kayu bakar, dan jagung. Ya, jagung untuk Glampers panggang di atas api! <a href="https://jabarcamping.web.id/%22" rel="nofollow">https://jabarcamping.web.id/</a> Namun, tidak ada toilet pribadi, tetapi toilet bersih tersedia di dekat lokasi perkemahan. Seperti yang kami katakan, ini adalah yang paling dekat dengan pengalaman berkemah klasik yang otentik.He Luo luohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390095460471006970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-89869522854068010502018-06-18T23:06:18.130-04:002018-06-18T23:06:18.130-04:00very nice submit, i certainly love this web site, ...very nice submit, i certainly love this web site, carry on it <a href="https://online-casinos.us.org" rel="nofollow">casino bonus</a>yosabrams0918https://www.blogger.com/profile/11140186761749280113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-31374715827576926162017-04-13T02:53:58.329-04:002017-04-13T02:53:58.329-04:00I actually get a kick out of pulling this in rever...I actually get a kick out of pulling this in reverse. In short I'll go to a restaurant and put out every sign that my tip is going suck (order water and cheaper food) then leave a very generous tip. I once went to a place, acted shy, placed an order that added up to 12$ (I was by myself) then left a 40$ tip.

You know when that table leaves all of your sugars will be gone. When somebody asks for a bowl of lemons I always feel like saying, "We do sell fresh lemonade, and that way you will not have to make it yourself." I have noticed that some people will order water with lemon, but you have a few that order lemon water. Lemon water?? Is this the new, free lemonade just short of the sugar?

When you do, that someone can then go around telling others to find another job rather than simply blow off steam.<br />Anyway, I personally just say, "No, thanks," if I don't want an appetizer that time.

I tend to only go out to eat when I have enough to both indulge myself <i>and</i> tip the waiter properly. <br /><br />I'm also a fairly petite woman, and lack the capacity to gorge myself on an appetizer, rolls (if they have them) an entree, and dessert. Thus, I usually smile when offered an appetizer and say "No thank you...I'll be having (insert steak dinner with fully loaded potato, veggies, etc. here)" <br /><br />I also hate when the waiter remarks after I say this, "Aw, poor little girl, betcha just can't fit it all in, can ya? *wink*" Ass. Oh well, he just can't see the -% signs wafting out the door as I think ahead to his future tip.<br /><br />It's nice to have work experience behind you, but as I've learned from working years as a retail manager, it's all too easy to assume the worst of people. Sometimes it isn't always the case.

It's your choice to work the position you have , and if you do not make the minimum, by law it is your employers job to make up the balance. I go into a restaurant, I have a base percentage of 15% and it fluxes dependant on YOUR service. you give me crappy service, it will reflect in your tip. I have been known to leave 25-30% for exceptional service, and if you suck, you get a penny. You are not entitled to a tip, you must earn it.
