Allen Garfield, RIP



Actor Allen Garfield has died from COVID-19 at age 80. I looked through his credits on IMDb.com. I've seen a number of things he was in over the years, but the thing I've always remembered him from was an episode of The Bob Newhart Show. He plays the manager of a resort having a bad year when Bob and Emily visit.

After showing them to their room, Garfield's character pauses. He tells Bob he knows what he's thinking. Would it offend him to offer him a tip since he's the manager? No, he said. It wouldn't.

I saw that as a kid and it's haunted me ever since. SHOULD you tip the manager?
