Nope. The founder of the FPS "moves" to NH to fulfill his first 1000 pledge, but has to leave early because Mr. Wiskers goes missing.  That is some funny shit. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.

I think you just did.  He didn't leave early, whatever that means.
Yeah, I hijacked his account and posted that on the FSP forum.

Post what on his account?  He currently lives in NH but is still a teacher in NY and will move back to his apartment before the 1st semester of 2009 starts, from my understanding.

However, he is currently in NY, for a few days.

He lives in NH, but he owns a house and has a job in NY, and also is currently in NY.  :D

When I was doing my roadtrip recently, I lived in Tonawanda, NY for about 30 mins.

I don't get why everyone worships Jason Sorens as the 'founder' of the FSP. All he did was write a fucking essay, and then a couple of idealistic people took the idea and ran with it. Those people are the ones who should be considered the 'founders' of the FSP.

Who worships Jason because he founded the FSP?  I worship him because he listens to crazy metal music and gives out free drinks (good ones, I might add).

But, anyway, thanks for the nice words :)

Damn, and here I thought I was the only Jason who listens to crazy metal music and gives out drinks.

Free Stater banned from Murphy's taproom for not tipping.

Crazy shit.

Keith then told me, "This is nothing personal against you, but if you're not going to take care of my wait staff, I don't want you in my restaurant. It's your right to not tip, but it's my right to not want you as a customer." I replied, "OK. I understand. Please refund my $4.00 and I'll leave. Can I have five minutes to say goodbye to my friends?" He allowed me five minutes.
As I was saying goodbye to my friends, Keith approached me and gave me my $4.00 and showed me the original receipt, explaining "It was an accident. The waitress though the zero you wrote on the tip line was a four, and you can see it does kind of look like a four." It did indeed look like a four. But I did not write it that way. When I write any dollar amount, ever, I write the full amount, like "$4.00" or "4.00" - never like "4" - but on the receipt, all that was written was "0" and that had a few extra lines and squiggles that made it look kind of like a "4." And the number "3" in the total amount at the bottom of the receipt had been written over as well, to make "$23.20" look like "$27.20" - I did not do that, either. I stuttered a few seconds, trying to find a polite way to tell Keith that it was not an accident, that his waitress intentionally stole my money, but I figured he was not going to un-ban me and I didn't see a point, so I just said, "OK."
I recognize that it is Keith's restaurant - his private property - and as such he has the right to choose his customers. I do not hold it against him that he banned me, or even that he disagrees with me about tipping. I am merely disappointed that I will no longer be able to go to Taproom Tuesdays. I really enjoyed that event. And there are some friends that I hardly ever see except there. Oh well, I'll have to make more of an effort to see them elsewhere.

Getting bent out of shape over a tip is stupid.  I still have yet to hear if the service was any good.  If not, then I too would not tip.

This guy just doesn't believe people SHOULD tip. So he doesn't, even though he knows he pisses people off wherever he goes by so doing. And he wasn't banned.

That's fine.  I waited on tables for about a year and some people didn't tip no matter what.  It didn't matter much to me, they got the same level of service no matter what.  I'd rather keep them as a customer in order to keep the business going so other people who do tip could come in and make up for it.

Now if no one tipped, I  wouldn't have worked there.  I think my hourly wage was ~$2.35/hour at that time.  A terrible wage for the work that was required.

Great attitude. 8) Very libertarian of you.

1) It's a private business -- Murphy's rules, baby.
2) Murphy knows he needs to find & retain good staff in order to keep his customers
3) If the staff hate the FSPers because they don't tip, eventually one or the other has gotta go
4) 80+% of the FSPers tip like 80+% of normal people
5) ~20 of the FSPers tip extra cause we are like that (d_goddard proudly tips at LEAST 20% for decent service, especially on a damn $10 order)
6) <1% of FSPers don't tip either due to some weird moral theory (Barskey) or because they are cheap bastards (no names given)
7) Murphy's calculation to lose one guy who buys less than $20/week vs. pissing off a hard-o-find good server was an easy one
8) If you think tipping is stupid, OPEN UP YOUR OWN DAMN BAR and implement a no-tips policy. Have fun finding waitstaff!

The service is a little slow when the place is packed. About like any bar.
OTOH, the waitstaff are fucking hot and the outfits they wear are in that perfect grey area between respectable and slutty.

Murphy's FTW!
