Moravian College senior Leslie Pope and John Wagner, a Lehigh University graduate student, were handcuffed and transported from the Lehigh Pub to Bethlehem police headquarters Oct. 23 after failing to pay a mandatory 18 percent gratuity.
Buffalo WingsAP File PhotoBuffalo wingsPope and Wagner, members of a party of eight during happy hour, refused to pay a $16.35 service charge on top of their $73.87 tab because of what they say was shoddy service as well as a surcharge that was nearly 5 percent higher than the 18 percent listed on the menu.
“Gratuity is thanking you for your service,” Pope, 22, said. “You can’t give us terrible, terrible service and expect a tip.”
The group reportedly had to wait more than an hour for salad and wings and had to approach the bar themselves for drink refills and find their own napkins and silverware as their waitress smoked outside.
The general manager of the Lehigh Pub, at 4 S. New St., declined to comment.
Pope and Wagner, 24, have pleaded not guilty and await a summary trial before District Judge Nancy Matos Gonzalez.

I am starting a new page on Archetypes in the Major Archana. I plan on putting my own and other contributions on the page. I will start with the fool and do one card per week. By spring we ought to be done.

If you put up a picture of your dog (or even a friend’s pup) in your workspace people who look at the picture not only tend to presume you’re loyal, but they may also act more loyal toward you. But don’t paper your cube with doggie pictures. Research shows that too many pictures make others perceive you as a less professional worker.

This is a fun audio. All it is is a repeat of the word “cogitate”. But are you sure the word is cogitate? Might it be concentrate – or agitate- or some completely different word?
The audio is on the Good Stuff page.

These are the audio files of two programs I used to give to clients that wanted to lose weight or stop smoking. They are available on the good stuff page.
The stop smoking mp3 is designed to quit smoking within 30 days.
Please allow time for the files to download if you choose to listen to them.
