5% tip? I know I saw episodes where she'd leave like a $0.30 tip on a $10 meal and others where there would be no tip.

I'd like to hope that they were cheating by underreporting the tip actually left to get in under their cap of $40, but it was still a terrible example to set.

Yeah I guess having a 5 min free feature of your eating establishment on a national cable network isn't enough. She should really be leaving 20%.

Who gets the benefit of the publicity? The owners.

Who has to deal with every cheapskate who saw the show coming in and leaving the waiter a quarter? The waitstaff.

Roll your eyes if that doesn't matter to you. I've never been a waiter, but that's just wrong.

I'm really sure she is treated like a normal customer. It's a TV show. It's not like she just shows up and says "hey we are here to eat and film it!". It's all pre planned.

After two months of RR, she seems to have settled into her groove but her voice does appear to be permanently shot.

Sometimes it even gives me flashbacks to Marilyn Chambers in circa-90s porn and is it just me or does anyone else think she could be her long-lost daughter!

I've been turning on during the last 30 minutes of her program. It makes it easier to get through the nonsense.
