I actually had a friend over there who was putting herself though uni at Harvard and worked in a classy restaurant to help. She would have, every few of weeks, a higher than normal set of bills to pay. All she needed to do was to put on the charm and she'd cover the bills in extra tips over a couple of nights. It worked for her.

That is a prime example of the crassness that's expected in the US in order to make ends meet. I feel sorry for her that she'd even have to go about "laying it on thick" in order to cover her expenses. The fact that she even had to do so is an indictment on their culture...no wonder they're $10 trillion in debt. Unfortunately for them, no one else wants to pay them a tip so now they can't cover themselves...the "charm offensive" won't work anymore.
