my waitress friend says you can always tell an out of country tourist. they ask the manager where the bathroom is. the manager says the john is at the back. they go around all the tables asking for john.
i've heard from my waitress friend that another way you can spot a tourist is that they leave little or zero tip and frequently ask for a puppy package.
So what do New Yorker's do with the left-overs, then? Waste it?
I wasn't able to do that when I was there. The hotel I stayed at had no refrigerator.
In some cities, though, I'll often give my left-overs to a homeless person.
I consider myself a pretty generous tipper, having been a waitress once. But if I'm not happy with the service . . . nope! Something else, too, though, is that tipping is not a common practice in some foreign countries. I believe it isn't done in France. (Is there someone who can confirm this?)

I take my leftovers all the time, and many other people I know do too. I think it was the reference to it being a 'puppy package' which was touristy.
tipping isnt done in a lot of foreign countries. its usually included in the bill. when i went to australia two years ago, the guy who waited on us was amazed that we left him $20 on a $60 bill. i think its like 15% of the bill or something.
Pale skin, those cute Brits with those fannypacks, the MTA workers screaming and calling them tourists for asking too many questions, and people who stand way too long in front of the ticket machines in Port Authority, that's how I spot them.
