rambling is delicious

Had an interesting idea tonight while out with Bryce while we were out for dinner, getting bad service… My idea was a restaurant where the amount of service time you receive from your waiter is justified by the amount of money you’re spending.

Essentially, you come in, which entitles you to maybe a few mins of waiter time. Spend, say $10, which buys you a few more mins… By the time you’ve spent $100 (for example) you’ve paid for a chat with the waiter at the end of the night.
At the end (checkout point), if you haven’t had your allocated service time, the place gives you a discount or some amount off your bill, or something.

The best part is that this would encourage hospitality people to actually notice their customers and to pay attention – with real money as an incentive, I’d expect that using the allocated service time would become a KPI for staff or something..

Maybe that’s just my annoyance at having to hunt repeatedly for table service to get a drink talking.

Also known as “Wizard Staff” this is a fairly new drinking game that always results in the mass consumption of canned beverages.

Requirements: At least two participants (you can play by yourself but then you are an alcoholic) but the more the better, as much canned beer/beverages as you think all participants will drink (trust me, you don’t want to have to get more later), at least one roll of duct tape, at least one (but preferably multiple) type of hard alcohol, one shot glass for each player. Bonus points if wizardesque clothing is worn!

Rules: At the beginning of the game, players decide on any special rules, including at which point a boss must be fought. Boss fighting will be discussed later but generally it happens every 3rd or 5th level. See the “Special Rules” section for further explanation. As well, if a prize is to be played for, it should be presented or decided on before play begins. After rules are decided and agreed upon (might be a good idea to write them down in case any late comers come in), Continue reading
