The South Will Kill You

Getting harder to pull that off with convenience stores starting at $15/hour …
Most are becoming more aware of the struggles … we now leave good tips for both waiters and cooks …

I rarely ever go out to eat.

But when I do I leave 30-50 percent tip.

Sometimes even more than that.

When I worked at the hospital in Newport news I would bring $30... Order a pizza and give what was left as a tip. Typically it was $10-13.

A really nice young fella told me on the phone that he was leaving Papa John's. And he told me that I was a legend around that Papa John's... I laughed... He was like, " nah man I'm serious... We know your voice and everyone fights to go to Mary immaculate hospital when we know it's you ordering".

That was kinda cool.

I go out about once every 6 weeks for lunch with a friend. We always make a point to put down way more of tip than we figure they expect.
Just trying to make someone's day who has to do that type of work and depend on a tip for part of their pay.

We go out to eat once a week. Usually on Sunday. It's something fun we both enjoy.

I love living in the South.

I wish we had more south here! Well except the heat.

You don't live longer, it just feels that way.

Well you should definitely not get into any of those calorie restriction diets. The less you eat, the longer you're supposed to live.

I've lived in the South for 25 years. Don't regret it a bit. It's good living.

I consider NC to be part of the South as well.

Oh yeah, Alabama is #3 with the most obese adults in the US. Shouldn't be a surprise that many of the top states are all in the south. The least is Colorado.

Data for obesity rates by state show that Colorado and Hawaii are the least obese states. The most obese states are mostly found in the Southern United States.
