Welcome COGIC
This is the week when the saints of COGIC gather in downtown Memphis for their annual convention. Welcome, and if you have any questions about the area that you'd like to ask a local, feel free to e-mail me.
One of the best ways to celebrate the abundance that God has given you is to share that abundance with others. To that end, I'd like to ask you to please tip your servers well when you go out to eat at downtown restaurants this week. With so many people in town, the servers are going to be extremely busy, and they deserve to be compensated well for their hard work, don't you agree?
A standard tip at a restaurant is 15%. For your convenience, I have computed 15% of common amounts below.
If you make special requests of your server - food prepared a special way, substitutions, etc. - you may want to consider tipping your server a little extra, say, 20%. Again, for your convenience, 20% of common amounts is below.
Also, please keep in mind that if a restaurant does not give a COGIC discount, it's a policy set by management. Your server has no influence over that policy and does not deserve to be penalized on his or her tip. If you only want to eat at restaurants that give COGIC discounts, it would be a good idea to ask about this before you are seated.
I personally can attest that when you freely share your bounty, as God Himself would, with all those around you, it comes back to you tenfold and more. So please keep that in mind when you sit down to eat in downtown Memphis this week.
Again, welcome. Thank you for spending you tourism dollars in Memphis, and if you have questions about Memphis just ask.

- 15% of $10.00 = $1.50
- 15% of $20.00 = $3.00
- 15% of $30.00 = $4.50
- 15% of $40.00 = $6.00
- 15% of $50.00 = $7.50
- 15% of $60.00 = $9.00
- 15% of $70.00 = $10.50
- 15% of $80.00 = $12.00
- 15% of $90.00 = $13.50
- 15% of $100.00 = $15.00
