Grease The Maitre d’

Marshall Loeb from CBS Moneywatch has published an article explaining how to properly “grease,” that is, tip in advance to ensure special service.

His “tips” for discreet tipping:

  • Talk to the person in power.
  • Speak privately instead of in front of other customers.
  • Fold the bill with the denomination clearly visible by the tipee.
  • Sincerely thank the person in advance.

    Elsewhere in CBS Marketwatch, Jon Friedman complains about blogs. Not necessarily personal finance blogs, but those whose writers tend to think they’re part of a new media revolution.
