Last month during the President’s reception at the MRA conference, I was speaking to a few people when a stranger walked up to the area I was in and took a napkin and a dumpling from the servers passing around appetizers. I didn’t think anything for the first few moments until the person dipped the dumpling in the sauce, took a bite and then (you guessed it) dipped again — clearly a double dipper! Probably not allowed or shouldn’t be in a number of situations and maybe–just maybe–this is one of them.
I thought about what happened and asked myself two questions:
- Do I double dip?
- And what items could I double dip?
The short answer is yes I double dip, but it really depends on where I am and who I am with.
Quickly I identified some things I could possibly double dip:
- Tortilla chips
- Shrimp
- Satay (love peanut sauce)
- Egg rolls
If I am with friends and family I probably double dip and don’t think anything about it. I am sure most of the readers are now saying they don’t want to go to a Mexican restaurant with me! But I won’t double dip with strangers, at a conference or a nice event. That’s the rules I play by.
- Are you a double dipper?
- Do you have a double dip rule?
- If someone does it will you say something?
I look forward to your comments.
A few weeks ago I was speaking with my buddy KW and he said I have to see the movie The Hangover. He said it was absolutely hysterical and the funniest movie he has seen since Wedding Crashers. I must admit I had never heard of the movie but said that I was going to try and see the movie that weekend. 
As you read this posting, the year is half over. You have heard over and over how difficult and challenging the economy is and how that has affected all of our businesses.
