Dana. Griffin has more, this was the moment the Coast Guard saw the missing Carnival Cruise passenger after he disappeared from his ship in the Gulf of Mexico, he wasn't going to last much longer, he said that once, but then it was a bit difficult Listen to it after that, Lieutenant Travis Rhea was the rescue pilot, unfortunately most cruise ship passengers when they fall overboard do not survive much less a whole day and without a flotation device, how do you explain that Is it just a miracle that he was able to survive?

Those long almost 15 hours in the water without flotation Carnival Valor left the port of New Orleans on Wednesday afternoon around 11 that night Carnival says the man was last seen at a bar with his sister, went to the bathroom but never returned, it was reported Whitney Gaines, her traveling companion who went missing on Thanksgiving morning, tells NBC News she overheard a family member say the crew kept calling the 28-year-old for vaping in areas not designated for smoking, the ship retraced its route butHe had to continue to Cozumel, Mexico, where the passenger was.

He was suffering from hypothermia, dehydration and shock. It's safe to say that he probably did something pretty stupid to end up in the water. The Carnival says the only way to go overboard is to intentionally climb over the safety barriers.

You've probably noticed it. You have now often given the option to leave a tip at the end of a transaction and places where you were never expected to leave a tip before. So what's behind this and when should you do it? More here is Joe Fryer, this Christmas season temperatures drop and prices skyrocket. Many shoppers are noticing an unexpected expense and are being asked to tip in surprising places like the cyber world when ordering something online is literally asking for a tip. I'm sorry. What retail stores? Why am I working at a sunglasses store and they ask me if I want Tiff to even stop by?

I get it to the pay window and she says how much do you want a tip and I just say what tip. It's everywhere as more people pay with plastic, more companies turn to tablets with preset tip options, so if you're using them as a bonus, it's actually a bonus, yes, I'm very excited when I come into this, but It can be confusing, you know, you just walk by and buy something and they ask you for a tip and I don't know what to do there, do you find that they ask you to tip when you normally wouldn't?

Yes I think so. With so many questions about tipping, including when it's not necessary, we turned to etiquette expert Thomas. Farley, aka Mr. Manners, don't feel guilty about tipping if a service employee hasn't provided you with service, there is no obligation to tip. Farley says that, of course, you tip restaurant servers because they probably make less than minimum wage, but what about someone at a coffee shop? My recommendation is that if you have someone who knows you and who knows your order, this is an individual who we are going to tip and what happens with takeout when you pick up the food that it deserves? tip also perhaps at the same level as what you would give to someone who provides you service in an establishment sitting all night.

Farley recommends at least 10 percent for takeout. From 15 to 20 if the establishment is exceptional, but in one place, he says you do not need to tip retail At Rock Solana, a retail store in the winter village of Bryant Park, customers are asked if they want add a tip, but do you have an expectation that people leave a tip when they buy something?
