mean old man
so, the BigHair and I are finally giving up our stupid-phones for some smart ones.
you've probably seen us, laughing at and mocking people in restaurants and bars who spend the entire time playing with their hand-held devices instead of interacting with the people they're sitting with.
plus the morons shambling around with their faces glued to their phones, who can't be bothered to look away from the screen long enough to even cross the street.
we've given up and decided to join the zombie herd. look for us to reduce our entire existence down to keeping all our Facebook Friends updated on which aisle of the Shoppers Food Warehouse we're currently browsing.
we pick up our new soul-sucking devices tomorrow, after which we'll continue shopping for accessories. gotta get a shock-proof case plus a screen protector plus maybe extra battery, extra charging cord, yadda, etc, yadda.
next up is APPS. after installing the HBT and Beersmith mobile versions, I would like an app to use at a restaurant to calculate tips for servers.
and not just one where you input your bill amount, adjust the slider to reflect the % to give and includes a handy-dandy function to split a bill when you're out with friends. found a bazillion of those.
do you guys know of one that might have some sort of timer? one you start when you're seated, then hit a "lap" function when the various events of ordering and serving takes place, like server showing up to take your drink order, when your drinks arrive, when your food arrives.
you can set your top tip % you normally give and the longer each of those events take, the lower the % goes. with some events the % will go faster with time. like bringing drinks, that's the server's function and the longer that takes, the faster the % will drop, but how fast your food arrives is not always the server's fault. if the kitchen is slow, it shouldn't really reflect on your tip.
anyone know if that app exists?
