$20k for a hotdog in the eye at ball

A baseball fan is suing the Kansas City Royals after a mascot lobbed a hotdog that hit him in the eye. The poor bloke had to have two operations to fix his peeper and it’s still not right. Baseball clubs are covered if a ball hits a spectator but courts overturned an early hearing saying that he should have been paying attention. The appeal said that while you should expect a ball to hit you you should be expecting a hotdog. The case is ongoing.
Given how much people eat at baseball games I’m su…

When You Don't Need to Tip

Tipping for good service is important, but make sure you don’t get duped. For some, this could happen while staying at a hotel or eating out at a restaurant — and the mistake is surprisingly common.
Think back to the last time you ordered room service. Did you offer a tip on top of your total?
If so, you probably gave a very generous 30% to 40% tip. That’s because in many hotels an automatic base gratuity of 18% to 20% is often included with room service — even if there's a space to add it on th…

I have the vision of "no tip", nor do I accept to negotiate a price.
the service or product has a price, you great guta; do not purchase like other cheaper.
