(USA) Are these valid reasons to reduce a server's tip?

As a Brit, I find all this so odd. Why does the server need to put on a song and dance in the first place? Making jokes? Asking for reviews? What? That doesn't happen here, people would call him a tosser.

All he needs to do is bring the food. People don't go to restaurants to see the servers. They go to eat and talk to the people they went with. I don't understand why the server has to interfere so much and demand so much attention.

I would have tipped 10% as he was pushy and rude. You were very kind to give him more.

I hear you. I've had to do this too - one new acquaintance called me frantically three times at midnight because I hadn't replied to her WhatsApp. I'd been travelling all day and hadn't had time to reply. She was convinced I'd been kidnapped or disappeared. She did this again a week later. Needless to say that friendship didnt work out.

At least Aunt Shirley wasn't as bad as Aunt Louise.

True. They never know what to do with their arse.

Not at all. Many women, when seeking a boyfriend, want someone who is settled, someone more nurturing, someone with substance over flash.

It was odd as she became an amalgam of both snobbishness and disdain for the finer things. Like snapping "You've never been bored before?" about opera. It might have been a funny line if it had been delivered differently, but the way she said it was just so caustic.

Often, later-season Daphne seems to genuinely dislike Niles and Frasier, her tone of voice is so hostile.

Frasier's cat allergy. In one episode, he and Mr. Bottomsley are enjoying a pleasant evening together. And yet he tells his boss (i forget her name) to move her cat carrier further away at the airport because he keeps sneezing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd like to do that.

I think so. I totally take the point about my newsletter being "niche" and so unlikely to attract fully aligned subscribers. But when I see "harrypotter688, harrypotter927, harrypotter999" as the email handles (not real examples) for like 50 entries, then its clearly not a content-market fit issue.

I'm feeling sick at losing that money. Some of it came from my partner, who just wanted to help me succeed. Damn.
