Any restaurant I go to I always ask for water, then they come and take our order for food, I order then wait till food arrives, that is when I ask for a soft drink, it accomplishes 2 things.

1) Doing this I drink more water than soda (good for health)
2) I never get charged, the waiter never goes back and adds it to the bill, they just grab a cup and give me soda.
I kinda do this at drive throughs. Ask for a drink only when you get to the window, half the time they won't charge you for it.

If you need body repair done on your vehicle find a good independent shop and ask if they take cash or do cash deals for the repairs. Many of them will knock a few hundred off the repair costs for you. For example: to respray a bumper by insurance standards can be $500-700 depending on paint and size, but a shop that accepts cash will likely quote you about $400. I just sent a vehicle down to the shop I used to work at with a repair that should have cost about $800 but I paid $400 cash for it. And if it is an insurance payout where they send you the check for the repairs we would often just tell the person to bring cash and keep their $500 deductible or if it is a $1000 deductible then just bring us half of it.

found a great transmission and ac shop that did that up in Round Rock...cash price was on the order of several hundred dollars cheaper vs CC or check. Unreported income :D

For cell service use straight talk from Walmart. Bring your own phone in and have reliable unlimited Verizon service every month for $50. Been with them for years now and SMH hearing people talking about $120+ Verizon bills.

LoL I always order water and my wife orders tea/soda. I drink the water and she gets a new to-go cup of whatever she is drinking when we leave. Hey, it saves about $3 and that's less you have tip on. Haha $3 for a ****ing soft drink is a ripoff, I don't care where you are. Now a $3 beer is cool by me..

If you plan on stealing toilet paper out of a stall after using it (the stall, not the TP!) remember you are probably on video the entire time.

Cash is king here in Vegas. Try placing a bet or tipping a valet/cocktail waitress/dealer with a card...unimaginable.

That's what chips are for.

Johnny why the hell would anyone steal TP after they use it? The **** is going on up there in Canuckland?
