  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

He said he started to show tell her she needed to come to Jesus, and had a Youtube video loaded up before he gave up on it. That's still going waaaaayyyy too far.

That part was a JOKE!!!

And more is expected at a fancy place. Waiters generally do a lot more than simply say 'which items are good'. They know from the start to volunteer that items are spicy for example. They can provide the first level of advice about wines and if they find themselves out of their depth on that they will get the sommelier to your table promptly. At a really nice place it seems a waiter can always be found, but never is at your elbow when not desired.
I had a buddy who waited at a pretty nice place. They all had to have the menu memorized, with what went into every singe dish.

Certainly more than the federal minimum as it looks like New York requires more than the federal minimum, but less than the state minimum, before tips.
No, not at all. NYC has a sub-minimum for wait-staff.
