So I'm in a party of 22, bill is $512, and I killed one roach on my table, and flicked off a second one off my plate as they were clearing the table.

Two questions: how much of a tip do we leave, and should I bring the leftovers home? (it was really good.)

Advise quickly, please.

    You leave a $1000 tip and you give the leftover's to your dogs because they deserve good food too. ;)

    20% is $102...subtract $25 for the roaches

    take the leftovers and if you survive the night without food poisoning, enjoy tomorrow!

    if the service was good then don't take too much off of the tip but definately speak to the manager about the roaches

    yeah that's less than 25 bucks a person. not that bad especially if everyone has a drink or 2. and bring the leftovers home. if you don't feel good tomorrow, feed it to the dogs or throw it out.

    btw, when i first read this, the first thing that came to mind wasn't the insect :think:

    second thing i thought is, unlost knows how to party!! :mrgreen:

    i would talk to the MGR & tell him to comp your meal. then leave the waiter/waitress a tip after that. roaches on the table???? HELL NO.

    if we are talking like bug roaches....i ain't paying a dime for dinner or giving a tip.

    if we are talking left over joints, well then, it's a whole different ball game and 1K might well be in order :lol:

    I know it's too late but I would have squished the roaches onto the tip money. The waitstaff could always exchange out the yucky money with clean bills and through that process the knowledge of the roach problem would be spread up the management chain. it's win/win

    Okay, update for you all, now that I'm back at home:

    So we're literally with 20 other people (total party of 22) of Mr. Unlost's colleagues from work, and he's suggested this restaurant. So, I'm feeling a little guilt-by-association.

    Are you with me so far?

    So, this is a bring-your-own-alcohol Italian place on the beach (Poncier, I know you know exactly where I'm talking about). Shirley Street.

    So I'm enjoying the bottle of wine Mr. Unlost bought for me, sharing it with a very cool paramedic from the Cape. Having a great time. She says, "Hey, is that a roach?" I look down, see a little insect sitting on the table, halfway between my appetizer plate and the one next to me.

    I say, "Oh no, it's just a bug." Sweep it into a napkin, throw it on the floor. (Thinking to myself, "Why am I covering this up? It's a freaking insect!" But the wine is good, the company is excellent, and I don't want to be The Wife Who Kills The Buzz because _ after all _ Mr. Unlost is already down in the dumps over the whole "I keep hitting shit with the boat" ordeal from the weekend.)

    Anywho...

    So medic is cool, doesn't raise a fuss.

    It's time to wrap up the food. I glance down at my plate (tortolllini with asparagus _ really excellent) and on the edge of the plate I see a really hopeful-looking roach, waving its antennae and clearly thinking, "Shit, that is some damn fine looking sauce." I flick the roach off _ not quite sure where he landed, but frankly I was into my third glass of red wine at this point, and who gives a shit, right?

    So I whisper to Mr. Unlost, "Hey, just saw two roaches." He's like, "Shit." So I said, "No worries, I've got this."

    Which, as you know, instills confidence every time I utter it...

    and I go and talk to the manager. He tells me that just yesterday they exterminated, and I just would not believe how many roaches there were around the salad prep area and the expresso machine, and thankyousomuchforbringingthistoourattention and I say, "No problem! See ya!" and totter back off to our table.

    You know, now that the wine is wearing off, I'm thinking I probably could have handled this differently.

    Should I tell Speedy that I'm bringing leftover asparagus tortillini to the potluck next Saturday?
