Plus a table of customers/witnesses through the small hours of the morning can’t hurt, makes the staff feel a little bit better.
Comment on What are some alternatives to bars that stay open late for folks that don't drink alcohol?
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 year agoI hope you tipped well, lol. my tabletop RPG group may have been known to do this. the waitress kept us up on coffee, so yeah, we might have tipped for the time rather than the percentage of the bill. probably the only reason we never got kicked out.

I had a group like this when I was the graveyard shift at Denny’s. I’d get them three apps for eight people, slap down two liter jugs of coke, and they’d collectively leave me about twenty bucks for basically no work on my part. Nice kids, they were usually in there once a week and they always called ahead to make sure it was okay.
They played Vampire: Masquerade, which honestly seems like a depressing setting but they were into it.

heh. we were at perkins, and we mostly played stardrifter there. We would have been okay if that’s about all that happened, but they actually kept us in coffee and creamer, and happily brought out the snackage when we asked. The tips were well worth the service.

That brings me back. Many nights at Perkins playing magic, shadowfist, shadowrun, homebrew ttrpgs.
We tipped well, management and the servers loved us. One night a waitress was having a particularly bad night and said just once she’d like to pour a drink on a customer. I volunteered and got a free meal out of it.

Re: Vampire. It can be, but doesn’t need to. It’s set in the real world, so it’s as depressing or not as our world can be.
