FDA Should Reject Dangerous Lung Medicine, Public Citizen Tells Advisory Committee
Fluticasone/Vilanterol Combination Therapy, Studied in a Series of Unethical Clinical Trials, Is Risky, Provides Little Added Benefit to Patients
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should not approve the proposed combination therapy fluticasone/vilanterol (proposed trade name: Breo Ellipta) for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) because it is not substantially more effective than the single ingredient vilanterol but leads to an increase in several serious side effects, Public Citizen said today in testimony to the FDA's Pulmonary and Allergy Diseases Advisory Committee.
COPD is a group of progressive, irreversible lung diseases including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, caused in most cases by smoking. Fluticasone/vilanterol is the latest in a long line of combination therapies developed to treat the disease that consist of an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and a medicine known as a long-acting beta agonist (LABA), which opens up constricted airways.
Four clinical trials were designed to test the combination of fluticasone/vilanterol therapy against vilanterol alone for up to one year. The combination of fluticasone/vilanterol did not provide any substantial benefit over vilanterol in improving COPD symptoms, but did lead to an increased number of serious side effects compared with subjects getting only vilanterol, including bone fractures and infections such as pneumonia.
Public Citizen also testified that two of the four pivotal trials were unethical because investigators withheld effective, standard treatments, including other ICS/LABA therapies, for almost six months, from hundreds of subjects with severe COPD, instead giving some placebo pills and others substandard care with inhaled steroids alone. Such trials are permitted, and unfortunately not uncommon, under the FDA's current regulatory system governing drug approvals.
"This new combination therapy, never arguably a breakthrough drug to begin with, was conclusively shown to be more risky, and not substantially more effective, than vilanterol alone in the pivotal trials," said Dr. Sammy Almashat, researcher with Public Citizen's Health Research Group. "And that two of the trials that denied effective treatments to hundreds of severely ill patients were even allowed to go forward – without objection from either the FDA or local institutional review boards – is a sad testament to the lack of adequate protections that exist for trial subjects today."
Read today's testimony.
A minor edit was made, changing "no more" to "not substantially more" in the first paragraph on April 22, 2013.

A Lawyer named Mr. Strange . . .
- Saturday, September 18, 2004
A lawyer named Mr. Strange was shopping for a tombstone. After he had made his selection, the stonecutter asked him what inscription he would like on it.
"Here lies an honest man and a lawyer," responded the lawyer.
"Sorry, but I can't do that," replied the stonecutter. "In this state, it's against the law to bury two people in the same grave."
Mr. Strange was not amused by the stonecutter's attempt at humor and asked if he had another suggestion. The stonecutter said, "I could write, 'Here lies an honest lawyer'."
The lawyer protested, "But that won't tell people who he was."
"It most certainly will," retorted the stonecutter. "People will read, 'Here lies an honest lawyer' and exclaim, 'That's Strange!'"
Q: What do you have when you have a dozen lawyers buried up to their necks in sand?
A: Not enough sand!
Q: What do you call a sky-diving lawyer?
A: Skeet.
Q: What's black and brown, and looks good on a lawyer?
A: A Doberman

You may have heard about Detroit's urban farming movement, but the

Resilient only begins to describe these determined, resourceful citizens who

Jet Aviation begins construction in Dubai
Jet Aviation announced last month it has begun construction of its new FBO and maintenance facility at the Dubai International Airport, United Arab Emirates. Expected to be operational in January, the new facility will offer scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, aircraft modifications and avionics installations and retrofits for a range of business aircraft. The maintenance division is currently applying for status as an authorized service center with several aircraft and engine manufacturers. The hangar and workshops will be equipped with the most recent fire-detection and firefighting technology.
The FBO terminal will have a reception area with a refreshment center; a VIP customer lounge; a conference room; a prayer room; in-house customs and immigration service; and private offices. For security, the facility will offer baggage and passenger screening and metal-detector stations. Passengers will have dressing rooms and showers, while flight crewmembers will have their own separate lounge area, a briefing room, snooze room and a fully equipped kitchen for catering.
The Dubai facility is the third Jet Aviation location in the Middle East and is being built in conjunction with the Dubai-based Al Mulla Business Group. Jet Aviation Group CEO Heinz Kohli said, "Dubai is a strategic location for our company and perfectly complements our worldwide network of facilities."

* Customers spoken to in Japan, Australia, Europe, U.S.By Kate Holton and Poornima GuptaLONDON/SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Apple Inc's latest iPhone looks set to become its bestselling device ever, and one reason appears to be disenchantment with rival smartphones.Nearly one in four people who thronged Apple stores from Tokyo to San Francisco told Reuters on Friday they were ditching BlackBerries, discarding Nokias or even giving up Google Android-based phones, hoping for something better.The majority of the 127 iPhone 4S buyers polled informally by Reuters in the United States, Japan, Australia, France, Germany and Britain were Apple diehards upgrading their devices.But 28 claimed they were making a switch, with some saying they were disillusioned by Research in Motion after this week's global BlackBerry outage that enraged millions."I was with Nokia before, but I guess they've sort of lost their way in terms of the interface and everything. Plus, most of my friends use Apple," Myles Geissler, 25, said while shopping for an iPhone in Sydney.Apple had already pre-sold over a million during the first day it went live on the Internet — a week before it hit stores selves in seven countries on Friday.RIM's BlackBerry and smartphones by manufacturers such as Nokia — which abandoned Symbian and will this year unveil devices based on Microsoft software — have been losing ground to the iPhone, which is facing a serious threat only from Android phones.The new phone looks similar to the previous iPhone 4 but has a faster processor, better camera and a voice-activated software dubbed "Siri", which lets users ask the phone questions and helps in logging calendar items."I am going into fashion and it's like the official phone of the industry. Also, I am tired of the Blackberry issues, like stuff going down every six months," said fashion publicist Adam at the Times Square store.RIM's share of the global smartphone market fell to 11.7 percent in the second quarter, from 13.0 percent in the first, according to Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney. Android's share rose to 43.4 percent from 36.4 percent, and Apple's rose to 18.2 percent from 16.9 percent.Sprint reported record single days in the United States for any device — by 1 p.m."We are seeing a nice mix of people who are first-time smartphone purchasers as well as those who are switching from competitors," said Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney.Away from the notoriously fickle consumer-gadget marketplace, Apple also appears to be making strides.Apple appears to be a winner when workers get to pick their own phones, in a trend known as the consumerization of IT. Companies can save money when they let employees buy their own phones and pay their own monthly bills.An Aite Group poll of 402 wealth managers conducted before the outage found that 45 percent would choose an iPhone or iPad, compared with 14 percent for a BlackBerry."Siri is pretty amazing. With Android, you have to memorize commands. I don't understand why it can't be on all (Apple) phones," said James Thompson, who had braved the six-hour drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco just to get in line — overnight — with his brother.
The European Commission said in a statement the deal would not raise any competition concerns."Autobar and Colomer have limited market shares on their respective markets concerned and their products are not key drivers of consumer demand in health and fitness centres," the EU executive said.CVC controls vending machine operator Autobar and cosmetics supplier Colomer, which operates in Virgin's fitness centres.Virgin Active has 254 clubs with 1.1 million members in Britain, South Africa, Italy, Iberia and Australia.
At Germany's flagship airline, passenger traffic, measured in revenue seat kilometres, rose 4.6 percent in september, while the amount of freight and mail transported by Lufthansa group companies fell 4.1 percent.Lufthansa, which warned on profit last month and said it would offer fewer seats than planned this winter after bookings weakened, said on Wednesday passenger growth was mostly driven by routes to the Americas and Asia-Pacific.The numbers come a day after Lufthansa Cargo received a setback when a court unexpectedly put a temporary halt on night flights from its Frankfurt hub.Equinet analyst Jochen Rothenbacher said the decision could wipe out fourth-quarter operating profit at the unit, which he had forecast at 36 million euros ($49 million). ($1 = 0.733 euro)
* US earnings eyed for growth impact from euro debt crisisBy Chikako MogiTOKYO, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Asian shares fell on Wednesday on signs that Europe's debt crisis has hurt confidence in the global economy and is starting to weigh on corporate earnings, while the Slovak parliament's rejection of a plan to expand the euro zone rescue fund added to uncertainty.Slovakia is the only euro zone country yet to approve a plan to boost the funds available to the bailout vehicle, which is seen as crucial to containing Europe's debt crisis, and a re-vote was expected later this week.While the main opposition party was set to support the measure now the government has resigned, the twist has added to market nervousness just as European authorities were striving to come up with concrete steps to avoid a systemic contagion.MSCI's broadest index of Asia Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.4 percent, while Japan's Nikkei average opened down 0.6 percent.Global stocks, as measured by MSCI's All-Country World index , gained 0.4 percent on Tuesday, but eased after New York close as Alcoa Inc , the largest U.S. aluminium producer, said slowing economic growth knocked prices for the metal lower, denting its third-quarter profit and sending its shares down in after-hours trading."Alcoa wasn't all that bad, so we won't see an 'Alcoa shock' today, but investors took it as bad news that the company clearly felt the impact of slowing growth," said Kenichi Hirano, operating officer at Tachibana Securities in Tokyo."Those who were looking for reassurance about the U.S. earnings season didn't find it," he said.The euro's recent rally stalled after the Slovak vote, and was trading down around 0.1 percent on Wednesday at $1.3620.Oil prices fell, with Brent crude futures down 0.4 percent and U.S. crude futures down 0.9 percent.Market sentiment had improved this week, after a weekend pledge by German and French leaders to come up with a plan to tackle the debt crisis. In Asia, China stepped in to shore up banking shares.European officials continued to seek ways to restore the region's banking sector after the banks' weakening financial strength due to sovereign debt problems prompted a fresh round of credit rating downgrades.Banking and regulatory sources said on Tuesday that Europe's banks would have to achieve a significantly stronger capital position under a quick-fire regulatory health check and may need to raise some 100 billion euros ($137 billion).Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Union's executive European Commission, said he would propose a bank recapitalisation plan on Wednesday, even though there is no agreement yet on where the money will come from.Rating agencies Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings downgraded Spanish and Italian banks on Tuesday, underscoring concerns about the impact of the escalating debt crisis on the sector.Investors eyed developments on the euro zone debt crisis ahead of an EU summit on Oct. 23, as well as minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve's last policy meeting due later on Wednesday For clues on the state of the U.S. economy.

Father, son ran out of air while cave diving
Investigators say a north Florida man and his 15-year-old son ran out of oxygen and died while diving on Christmas Day.
The bodies of 35-year-old Darrin Spivey and Dillon Sanchez were found hours after they went diving at the Eagle Nest Sink cave in Hernando County.
A sheriff's office investigation found the pair died accidentally after diving to 233 feet and using air alone in their tanks.
The Tampa Tribune reports rescue diver Eric Deister says the men should have used a trimix combination for their breathing instead of just air. And he says they shouldn't have gone deeper than 218 feet due to possible toxic effects.
Investigators say Spivey and Sanchez were not certified divers. They believe the pair lost track of time.

Verbatim, unflinching interviews with poor working Victorians from a journalist whose interviews, published in a national newspaper, influenced Charles Dickens' creation of characters in his novels
History is written by historians, and the voices of ordinary people are rarely featured, but this unique collection of interviews from the middle of the 19th century allows their voices to be heard. The journalist Henry Mayhew tramped the streets of London interviewing working people; this selection from his work London Labour and the London Poor shows how they coped with the ups and downs of health and illness while continuing with the daily trial of scratching a living and feeding their families. The people Mayhew met showed remarkable resilience and a surprising sense of humor about their lot in life.

Grace Lee Shares Her 5 Top Made-in-L.A. Makers
The best local sources for chocolates, dresses, and…fanny packs.
Grace Lee loves her some Los Angeles, and with (many a) good reason. The very thoughtful jewelry designer's long-term love affair with the city has been fueled, at least in part, by the friends she's made there: hugely inspirational creatives producing seriously cool work. Just get a load of this local goodness. —dana covit
Clare Vivier: "I met Clare when I was just starting my jewelry line and was very nine-months-pregnant with our second daughter Camilla. I immediately fell in love—there is such a timeless nature to Clare's collection. My current favorite is the leather fanny pack that Clare debuted for spring. It takes me to another level of chic mom. I wear it everyday—around my waist, cross-body, and without the belt, as a clutch, at night."
Compartes Chocolatier: "Compartes Chocolatier treats are made in-house from scratch with all-natural ingredients at their chocolate factory in Brentwood. Buyer beware: One taste, and you will be a regular (I am living proof)."
Black Crane: "I first 'met' Momo Suzuki, the designer behind Black Crane, when her home and closet were featured on Jeana Sohn's Closet Visit. I was impressed with her pared-down home and philosophy—she proves that you don't have to own a lot of stuff to be chic. The first time I put on a long Black Crane dress, I did not want to take it off. My current favorite is the Sage Green Jumpsuit."
Handsome Coffee Roasters: "HCR is a must-try. I'm not a coffee drinker myself, but my husband loves it—and I am a sucker for great packaging, something HCR has down. It makes gifting the stuff that much better."
Nico Nico: "My friend Sue Tsai is the designer behind Nico Nico, a children's clothing collection. Her impeccable sense of style is obvious in her creations, which are all about sophisticated details and high-quality, often organic, fabrics. Her spring 2013 collection is titled 'Good Times,' and appropriately so: The first time my girls put on their Nico Nico striped jumpsuits they asked, 'Mom are these for jumping!?'"
Speaking of made-in-L.A., score Grace's Of a Kind edition: three colors of gold and one diamond on a slim little ring.

Hi Dale,
The cause of MS is unknown. It could be a combination of factors. The National MS Society has a page which discusses some of these possible factors. The MS Trust in the UK also has a page listing some possible causes. I hope that these sources provide you with the information you seek.

Sometimes, life moves at a pace which we cannot control or understand. We go about our daily lives rolling with the punches that we are dealt; dealing with all of the changes that occur everyday. Sometimes we may want to give up, but at the end of the day we should remember that God gives us exactly what we can handle. Nothing more. Nothing less. Each of us is here for a reason, and we all have a purpose. We all just need to be brave enough to acknowledge and fulfill that purpose.
Do you ever read the Sunday comics?
I beg your pardon?
The comic page? When I was a little kid, I used to put my face right up to them, and I was just amazed because it was just this mass of dots. I think life is like that sometimes, but I like to think that from God's perspective, life, everything - even this - makes sense. Its not just dots. Instead we're all connected, and its beautiful and its funny and its good. From this close we cant expect it to make sense, not right now."

Maurice Clarett only spent one season at Ohio State as a member of its football team, but he sure did make it count.
The former Buckeye running back is said to have been living a life of luxury during his brief stint at OSU. This is according to Monte Burke in his book 4th & Goal: One Man's Quest to Recapture His Dream.
Deadspin published an excerpt of the book which further details Clarett's college life:
"Away from class, anything you can think of I did in my 13 months at Ohio State." Drugs and women were two of the things. Cars were another—he owned three of them at a time, including a brand-new Cadillac and Lexus. "I was living the NFL life in college," he says. "I got paid more in college than I do now in the UFL."
Wait, what?
A dark cloud already hangs over the program because of a separate incident involving a tattoo scandal. Ohio State was placed on placed on probation for three years and banned from bowl contention for the 2012 season in punishment for that situation. It has wound up costing the Buckeyes a chance to play for the national title this season after rolling through the regular season undefeated.
Will there be any fallout from Clarett's retrospective claim?

Erik: You are contradicting me again.A form of Hypocritical Humor: Alan makes a criticism of Bob. Bob denies it, but does so in a way that validates the statement. Perhaps the most common criticism for this is being violent or short-tempered, perhaps because it allows a response of comedic violence, but plenty of other criticisms are possible, including stupidity ("No I aren't!"), vulgarity ("Fuck you!"), inattentiveness ("Huh?"), vanity ("Oh thanks, you noticed!"), being pretentious ("Moi?"), and immaturity (throwing a tantrum). See also Description Cut for the inverse of this. Compare Not Helping Your Case, I Take Offense to That Last One, I Would Say If I Could Say, Oblivious Mockery, Oblivious to His Own Description, and contrast with Insult Backfire. The line itself (which is often attributed to Groucho Marx) is, of course, a play on "I resent that remark."

Seoul searching: Life abroad not so easy
With midterm week slowly approaching, libraries and cafes are packed with books, laptops and caffeine-filled students who are eager to do well on their exams.
I am one of those students. Next Thursday, I have my first two tests in my Global Journalism and New Communication Technology courses. Since these exams account for nearly one third of a student's final grade, midterms are taken very seriously. This past week, I've been catching up on readings in order to prepare.
In my New Communication Technology course, we have already been assigned group projects. I happen to be the only foreign exchange student on my team.
Communication continues to be a struggle. When I first came here, I thought I was a fluent Korean language speaker, but now I know that I thought wrong.
Last week was a real wake up call. Without the help of my friends, I realized that I have a lot of trouble understanding what people say.
The slang and elevated vocabulary that students use leaves me feeling lost in the midst of conversation. As for the group project, luckily, after a fair amount of puzzled looks and awkward silences, Google Translate saved the day.
With a project topic approved and ready to go, we just have to research, discuss, write and present our project at the end of the semester.
It's going to be a challenge but I'm hoping I can help to improve my group's English language skills in exchange for their help in improving my Korean skills.
If I've learned anything this past week, it's that being a foreigner is not easy. One must adopt a totally new culture and live in a completely new environment with people who may have goals, morals, standards and beliefs that are entirely different from what one is used to.
Although I am considered Korean, I don't necessarily think, look, talk or even dress like the Koreans here. I learned that there is a significant distinction between the students who were born in Korea versus the Korean-Americans who came to study here.
In some cases, this fact has left me feeling like an outsider. Nonetheless, my goal here isn't necessary to change myself in order to fit in.
My goal is to learn about my identity and the culture that my parents grew up in.
After a long week of trying to decode Korean text messages between my group members and getting off at the wrong stop after misreading signs riding the metro for the first time, I am really starting to understand some of the hardships that my parents had to overcome raising my brother and I in the United States. Fortunately for me, I had a basic foundation of the language coming into Korea.
Not to mention, two great friends who have helped and guided me tremendously, but my parents started a life in a completely unfamiliar country with no support from friends or nearby family members. Once my stay here is over, I know that I'll be leaving with a greater appreciation for my parents and the struggles they endured living a life in a country as foreigners.

Stating 'Suggested Gratuity' on the Menu - Good Idea? (or not)
As I mentioned in other posts, my son is a manager, trainer and server at a national chain here in Canada.
MY GF and I were in his restaurant last night and 6 young men (perhaps late teens to early twenties) were thoroughly enjoying the all-you-can-eat diner at one of his tables.
We were watching and listening to my son very carefully and he was friendly, provided prompt service, etc.
Their bill was about $150 and the tip: $6.
My GF's theory is that maybe these young men just do not know what a 'reasonable' gratuity should be, assuming that you are satisfied with the service.
She is suggesting that maybe the chain should implement some sort of polite and obviously well thought-out suggestion in a predominant location on the menu.
Many places put a suggested gratuity percentage on the check and I have seen it on some menus. This doesn't necessarily mean that people will follow it. Not having been there I can't vouch for either party, but either the group ran out of $$ for a proper tip or they just don't know.... don't know which is more sad.
There's no harm in suggesting. Your girlfriend is awfully charitable, though. It's hard for me to imagine that someone can survive to "dining out without parents" age and still remain ignorant of tipping customs. Unless said parents were also miserable tippers.
"6 young men" probably haven't a clue about appropriate tipping.
On the other hand, putting the "suggested gratuity" in writing, could mean I don't tip at all.
I really resent a "national chain" restaurant telling me how much I should subsidize their employees because the restaurant is too worried about the profit line to pay their wait staff even minimum wage wage.
re: KiltedCook
re: KiltedCook
So you would punish the server because you don't the corporation's practice? Ouch.
re: KiltedCook
The servers *are* paid minimum wage which (in Canada anyway) is less than 'non-hospitality' staff.
re: allanc
I was curious to see what the difference was, as I've only read various US wages here on Chowhound. In Ontario, min wage is currently $9.50. Min wage for servers (if the restaurant serves alcohol) is $8.25. So, $1.25 less for servers.
Not taking sides, just FYI
re: allanc
In Alberta minimum wage is minimum wage no matter what your occupation is. It differs by provinces.
re: allanc
Here in the US a business is only required to pay minimum wage for a 40 hour "full time" employee. Part-time employees can be paid as little as a company wants to pay them. Most wait staff are deliberately kept to 30 hour weeks and paid something on the order of $3-$5 per hour
re: KiltedCook
I don't believe that's true. The difference is between employees who earn tips and those who don't - the tips are supposed to lift that person's hourly rate to minimum wage. So someone who works 10 hours a week at McDonald's is entitled to the federal minimum wage, $7.25 an hour, while someone at a table service restaurant is entitled to $2.13/hour.
re: KiltedCook
That has nothing to do with being part-time or full-time. The government classifies jobs into various categories to which different laws apply. Serving falls into a different category than the vast majority of part-time jobs that are required to pay minimum wage.
re: KiltedCook
The minimum wage is set by each state, though it cannot be lower than the federal minimum wage. Tips may be considered part of that wage, but an owner is required to make up the differnence to full minimum wage if the tips are not sufficient to equal that, though that happens rarely. In Maine, minimum wage for directly tipped employees (getting tips from the public vs from other employees) is 50% of the regular minimum wage.
I dont know, it sounds like just cheap A** kids. As a server your son better get as used to them as he does the big tippers! That being said, I see a suggested % gratuity on a whole lot of menus(albeit I do not live in Canada and I am just assuming the universally accepted practices of 15-18% for good service apply north of the border as well). So much so that I just think of this as SOP.
re: nkeane
He is used to it (after about 6 years with the chain) but he certainly does not enjoy it.
re: nkeane
wow. i would take 15% as in insult. i live in the northeast part of the u.s. 18%- 20% is included for larger parties, and most people generally tip more. 15% for good service? thats actually almost mean, depending on the establishment, style of service, and training / education that went into your experience (i.e. food, wine, pairing, environmental sustainability, allergy/ dietary restrictions/concerns...). and by the way, the supplemental $2.85/ hour is just that. supplemental. in case over a 2 week pay period a server ended up with less than minimum wage. the paychecks i receive are always for $0.
re: stephanierose
I usually use 20% as a baseline and go up and down from there based on service but I think I tip heavier than most. To call 15% an insult is I think out of line of most people's expectations.
re: stephanierose
In Canada 15% is reasonable, not hugely generous but certainly not insulting. I don't know about Ontario but in Alberta servers get no less than minimum wage (currently $8.80/hr).
When I'm someplace where I don't know what the "usual" gratuity is, the % added for large groups (printed on most menus) is useful for establishing a baseline for OK service.
I could be dead wrong but I am guessing that the initials of this chain might be MG?
If so, I have witnessed this behaviour from other diners at this (or a similar establishment), including my own office gang, very much NOT young or inexperienced, just cheap and insensitive on this one occasion.
Some of the folks around our casual office lunch table tried to justify leaving a minimal (3%) tip on the basis of its being a buffet. True enough to knock maybe 5% off a 20% tipping plan, but what about the drink orders, the coffees, the constant attendance to cleaning off used plates and replacing cutlery? What about bringing the bill (or 6 bills)?
I can see a slightly diminished tip at an all-you-can-eat place, but not leaving it out altogether the way a couple of my otherwise worthy colleagues were suggesting.
So, YES, if printing it on the bill is what it takes, then print away! This, IMHO, is a much better alternative than simply increasing all the prices so that I end up paying YOUR tip!
I rather suspect the $6 tip on $150 tab was probably from one young man who tried to uphold the honour of the whole table of cheapskates!
It sounds like the kids were just being cheap. In that age bracket, many people work as servers and I seriously doubt that they'd have no clue how to tip correctly. They may have spent all they had on the meal and didn't have anything left on the tip, or they just decided to be jerks and leave no tip.
I don't really think there's a need to include a suggested tip on a menu. I think it's a little bit insulting to suggest to a client base that they're to stupid to know how to tip correctly.
re: queencru
This post is a bit old, but:
"I don't really think there's a need to include a suggested tip on a menu. I think it's a little bit insulting to suggest to a client base that they're to stupid to know how to tip correctly."
I work near a major hospital. Many of our clientele are Asian and barely speak English. After seeeing their gratuities for quite a few years, I highly doubt they have any clue about tipping in the US. I think they're literally ignorant of the tipping protocol.
We don't put a suggested tip on the bill, but the servers often wish we did!
re: Karl S
"Gratuity", in my vocabulary, means a gift, which is never mandatory, and I would consider such an intervention by the manager to be overstepping his bounds. If it is mandated then it should be called a "service charge" or something like that. I do feel an obligation to tip, and I usually tip 20% pretax unless the service was bad, but mandating a tip rubs me badly. The upside, if there is one, is that the imposed amount is usually 15-18%, and I feel no obligation at all to make up the difference.
re: Will Owen
Note my wording. When a manager sees a significant undertip, she is right to wonder if her server has been negligent and service, and it is perfectly appropriate to ask if there were any problems with the service.
re: Karl S
Your wording was to ask them "WHAT WAS WRONG with the service," which sounds like a snarl to me. "Was there anything...?" would be more polite and well within bounds, though these were kids, and likely to be intimidated by any such approach, especially if they had thought a dollar or two was quite generous. There are still plenty of grownups I know (including some relatives) who were raised tipping ten percent and consider that to be THE rate now and forever, and I'm sure they've taught their kids the same.
re: Will Owen
jfood's with Karl S on this one. Jfood has no problem asking for feedback and backing the employee. That is exactly what the MOD should be doing.
There are two answers that this request could prompt:
1 - Everything was fine and the MOD could mention that the gratuity indicated differently, or
2 - There were issues and this would give the MOD a chance to make it right
Jfood wishes more MODs would take an active role in being a Manager versus a smile.
re: jfood
Agree with what you're saying...they should ask and correct...however i'm not so sure about the follow through telling the customer that the gratuity indicated differently. Could come across as a "dig" or being petty. Sure, if the person is humble enough to realize a mistake or something, great....but you'd risk losing a customer over that one IMHO.
And let's face it, if someone's the type to be deliberately stingy over tipping, they aren't likely to change their ways just because someone at the restaurant points it out. It might even have the opposite effect.
re: Will Owen
I am not aware of anyone who thinks *4%* (that's what the $6 tip was) was ever an acceptable tip level in the USA-Canada for full table service. That tip level indicates (i) serious service problems (in which case, the patrons should be raising it with the MOD, and the MOD is certainly duty bound to investigate if he becomes aware of it) or (ii) ignorance.
re: Karl S
I was a manager at one of the biggest chain restaurants around, and one of the top rules was to NEVER mention the tip, no matter what. Any server that said anything, in any way, was immediately terminated. And there were lots of times guests left a quarter for a tip, so all they could do is bitch about it later to us.
I used to go out after work with coworkers who were mostly young. Everyone would try to split out the bill and pay just their tab - but somehow we always came up short. The last one to leave would be stuck with a shortage. I think people would forget some of their items, forget to add in tax, and just be a cheapskate in hopes someone else would over-tip. I got to hate going out with them because I would end up feeling bad for the server and covering for everyone. I prefer just splitting the tab evenly between the number of patrons to help eliminate error, but most young people I dine with don't like to do that.
I like the newer thing I have seen where right under your total on your receipt, there is a little tip chart, saying what your total would be if you tipped 15, 18, or 20 percent. It never says you have to tip that amount but it is just a "handy tip calculator" (hint hint). Since I am math-challenged I actually like it.
bah--this is an old issue
most restaurants have a standard 18% tip for parties of 6 or more (stated on bottom of menu), which upsets many
all you can eat usually attracts those who don't tip
waitstaff in the US is paid less than minimal wage, with the remainder (ie tip) supposed to pay the difference, plus some
I have started to see on many of the bills a preprinted tip range at the bottom of the slip.
It shows the calculated tip at 10-15-20% as a guide for those poor at math.
I don't feel at all insulted by that. I think it's a non-intrusive way to suggest leaving
a tip of some value within your comfort range. (I'm a 20+ tipper)
I work at a privately held well-known and respected small chain restaurant. You'll see that the menu says they stand behind their food and their service and a minimum gratuity of 15% is appropriate.
I believe, in part, it is listed on there because if a server is left a tip under a certain low percentage, the manager will come over and ask about it. A bad tip reflects bad service and they want to make sure the guest was happy, as well as inform people of what's a normal tipping procedure. Of course, some people don't care, other's truly don't know. I've had a table ask me what a gratuity was.
The receipt also prints the Quick Tip Guide on the receipt, showing you what 15, 18, 20% of your check would be. Between the menu and the receipt, you'll still get people who just don't tip. There's no changing that. But, as a restaurant who wants to keep their good staff, I feel you have to try and educate people on their behalf.
re: Azizeh
jfood has no problem with the "suggested gratuity" phrase or the easy math of 10-15-20%.
Why is stating the obvious upsetting to people?
re: jfood
I think some people believe that this makes the assumption that tipping is mandatory. It has to be noted that not everyone on the boards lives in the U.S. where alot of places pay servers much less than minimum wage, and therefore tips even the playing field.
I tend to be a good tipper, but i'm not sure how i'd feel about the statement Azizeh makes about about the "minimum gratuity of 15%" based no the fact that they stand behind their food and service. It's great that the're so confident, however everyone's infallible. Makes it sound like you have to pay no matter if the service is crappy.
Here in Canada, a lot of the debit machines in restaurants either have the message come up on the little screen, asking whether you want to tip "yes" or "no" buttons followed by the message advising to let the check-out person know the $$ value to input......OR, some places have the screen asking you if you want to tip Y/N, followed by $$ or % question , with screens allowing you to input a dollar amount, OR with percentages it's 0% 10% 15% and 20% choices (some place's machines bypass the Y/N question and just show the percentages...hence the 0% )
I don't mind this system at all, and find it helpful at check-out time. I kinda don't like seeing it on the menu though, partly because food hasn't even been ordered yet.
This is a touchy problem and, JMO, but I can see logic in both sides of the argument.
I'd prefer not to see any suggestions of what I should leave for a gratuity, but then I'm old enough and experienced enough to know how to tip fairly according to the service I received.
But the fact is that, like it or not, it is the established standard in the U.S. for the patron to pay for the food AND subsidize the owner's staffing costs via the device of the gratuity, and there are those customers who are stingy, for whatever reason. I have to say I respect *any* manager, in any business, who will *politely* take up for his employees, his most important asset, when they are not being treated properly. And a party of six leaving a four-percent gratuity for a server who has done a good job is not proper treatment.
For that reason, I can understand the logic of a restaurant offering with the bill a table with tip percentages noted. I would really need it to say something, however, like, "These calculations are offered for your convenience only. Please feel free to acknowledge your server commensurately to the service you received. If you found the service to be lacking today, however, we ask that you notify the manager, so that we may address your dissatisfaction. Our highest priority is to please you."

Perfectly stated.
re: Normandie
"subsidize the owner's staffing costs via the device of the gratuity"
I'm not sure why people keep thinking that. I've noticed that places in the US that have $2.50 minimum wage for servers are way cheaper than places in Canada with $9 minimum wage for everyone.
re: hsk
correct. the menu prices in the u.s. are lower, as are the servers' wages. the menu prices are far higher in canada, in order to subsidize the canadian owners' staffing costs. servers in the u.s. are part time independent contractors who are paid by those who employ their services (the customer) as well as at a base rate paid by the restaurant owner. this system is similar to other retail sales systems in which salespeople are paid a percentage commission. the problem occurs when the customer refuses to tip, for whatever reason.
I'd suggest that whatever is culturally appropriate for your country should be OK.
In the UK, it is commonplace for menus to say something like "a discretionary service charge of 10% will be added to the bill". It is then entirely a matter for the customer to pay or not pay it.
We live in a very small town just off the Blue Ridge Parkway with an economy that is highly dependent on tourist dollars from early spring through late fall. Not only do we get American tourists who are used to the custom of tipping but we get a huge number of European/Asian tourists who are not. At the diner in town (only place available for breakfast and they do a fine one) I watched the waitresses seethe in frustration over running their butts off to provide great service only to receive no tip. Most of them are locals with no travel experience and didn't realize what the problem was until I pointed out that in many places abroad tipping is not usual because wait staff is paid a living wage. They now understand why but it doesn't alleviate the problem. Another restaurant down the road doing dinners only (family style or ala carte option) has somewhat solved the problem by stating in the menu that "Wait staff is paid $2.15 an hour and a minimum gratuity of 15% is customary and appreciated." It's my personal quirk that seeing this in menus annoys me but I do understand why it's there and I've suggested to the diner owner (who is a family friend) that the next time he prints up his menus he includes that line in them for the benefit of his wait staff. It's not there to aggravate the locals but to educate our visitors to the custom and reason for it.
Sure why not? I have this done at US restaurants. And some credit card machine will calculate suggested tips at three levels, 10, 15 and 20%.
I do not think there is a problem posting this as long as it says "Suggested Gratuities", so that way people know they aren't being forced to do anything. I encountered this at a Ruby Tuesday's in Norfolk, VA on Hampton Blvd. The bottom of the receipt had the suggested gratuities of 15%, 18%, and 20%. However, I always do the math myself anyway, and I discovered something that should make customers BEWARE. What Ruby Tuesday's claimed was 15% was really 18%; what they claimed was 18% was really 22%; and what they claimed was 20% was really 25%. While no one was forced to pay anything, the unobservant customer would be duped into thinking that they don't have to do the math. This is the kind of dishonesty that needs to be crushed.
re: SauronHimself
could it have been the percentage based on the post-tax and your calculations could have been on the pre-tax.
re: queenscook
you will find many threads on this subject. many, including jfood, tip on the total, including tax. there is no clear right-wrong answer
re: jfood
OK, guess I came to this party late.
I would never think one would tip on tax, which varies by city and state, and has nothing to do with the restaurant or the server. If one wants to be more generous, there's nothing wrong with that, but I still see it as tipping a percentage of what the restaurant is charging me, not the govt.
re: queenscook
jfood thinks people always get tangled in their underwear on this one. Example:
Bill is $100 and tax rate is 10% for a total of $110.
Jfood leaves $20. What oercentage did he leaves? Answer...who cares...server got $20. Think dollars not percetages since the server spends dollars not percentages.
re: jfood
Fine, except servers also use percentages to determine what to expect they can spend, and can get mighty resentful if their expected percentage is different from the customer's method.
This, btw, is the server's problem to remedy - they can more easily change their expectations than those of their customers.
re: Karl S
if servers are concerned about percentages versus nominal dollars then they need to focus on the following words...""This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private."
re: jfood
I don't think pre and post can make that big a difference. Assuming a (really high) tax rate of 10%, then 20% on 10% is only another 2%. That's pretty much why I think all this fuss about pre and post tax is kind of silly. In most cases you're talking about a dollar or two in any case.
Edited to add, for some reason this showed up in the wrong place. Was meant to show up under the subthread about Ruby Tuesday. Oh well.
to bet back to the actual original topic -
i have no problem with more information being given out, including listing what 15 and/or 20% tip runs.
the more one knows the better.

I can't believe I haven't featured Adrian Pasdar sooner. The man is clearly a skilled beard-grower. It's pretty magnificent. [Thanks, Simon M.]
I can't believe I haven't featured Adrian Pasdar sooner. The man is clearly a skilled beard-grower. It's pretty magnificent. [Thanks, Simon M.]
Dave Grohl went from being in one huge band (Nirvana) to starting another (Foo Fighters). Thanks again, beards!
The baseball player, not the Beach Boy. While searching for bearded pictures, Giants pitcher Brian Wilson has been popping up a lot. I guess it's a pretty well-known beard. And indeed, aside from the fact that the dark black dye makes it look weirdly fake, it is an impressive beard.
Jack Black has a pretty middle-of-the-road beard: it's not the greatest beard ever, nor is it the worst. But it's still better than no beard at all. [Thanks, Nicole K.]
Like his Office co-stars John Krasinski and Rainn Wilson, Ed Helms can grow a pretty decent beard. And yet all three are almost always clean-shaven. What a mixed-up world we live in. [Bearded photo courtesy KCRW]
Though his beard isn't quite as lustrous as fellow Mad Men castmember Jon Hamm, John Slattery still has a pretty spiffy beard. [Thanks, Finch]
That's an especially great beard. It's no contest. If you think the beardless Zachary Levi looks better, then you clearly need to start reconsidering the way you're living your life.
Stanley Kubrick (who, sadly, passed away twelve years ago today) is arguably the greatest director of all time. He also had a pretty sweet beard, which he grew at some point in the '60s and kept until his death. If a cinematic god like Stanley Kubrick thought beards were awesome, who are we — mere mortals — to argue?
Like Casey Affleck, Zac Efron is just not quite there in terms of beard growing ability. Efron is 23, and if it's any consolation to the man, beard growth continues to mature well into your twenties — so perhaps he can give it another shot in a few years. And if that doesn't console him, then he'll just have to make do with his piles of money and legions of adoring fans.
Most actors just dabble in beards; they grow one for a month or two between jobs, then shave it off. Not Zach Galifianakis. He knows he's got an awesome beard. Only a fool would squander something so great. Zach Galifianakis is no fool.

To be honest I only watched it cuz I wanted to see Jim Parsons.
And I was so disappointed when I realized he only had like, 15 seconds of screen time total. IT'S NOT FAIR.
Jeez, movie sure knew how to lure in viewers by telling us Parsons would be in it….and then he barely even shows up. I FEEL TRICKED ಠ_ಠ
That being said, it actually was a pretty cute movie. Very feel-good, complete with a moral and cute birds and bird facts. I was kinda surprised, again, because I assumed it would be some big crazy comedy (due to the three main actors involved) but instead it was very…not comedy, almost. o_o And Owen Wilson's character made me almost cry. UWAH.
Oh well. Jim Parsons, I'm still waiting for you to play some awesome big role in a Hollywood movie. YOU DESERVE IT.
