That's what I heard Gyno.....Same source said Merriman's was over 32K so that was probably a steakhouse.
Still pretty tough to spend $200 a head at TGIF unless they were hitting the booze pretty heavy which I doubt.
And then there is the Ryan Leaf story....He wasn't going to pony up so someone (Seau?) jacked his credit card anyway and Cryin' Ryan flipped over the 3,000 bill. (Must've been an Olive Garden)
This is one thing which infuriates me about society...do you really think in this case that one person got home from work this night and put $1900 in his piggy bank? Figure roughly a minimum of 100 people at banquet, some lame-ass restaurant manager completely overstaffs it...so figure 7 waiters, 4 busboys and a bartender...banquet tips usually divided equally...$158 for the night before taxes...take home roughly $110.
Sorry had to vent...please people, tip waiters generously...you really have no idea how the industry works and how tips are divided...a waiter's job is hard.
at the restaurant I work out, waiters dont tip out anyone. everyone else is salary and waiters/waitresses make like $2.10 an hr. restaurant is alot like another one i worked at:
