here's a cool thing

a nice elderly woman having dinner with her son
over paid me by 50 bucks cash
on a nbw deuce of $135
she put in the billfold 4 fifties and a tooney - $202
obvious to me she meant to leave
3 fifties and a tooney - $152

ya don't rip off nice old ladies

i brought the billfold back to her
and carefully suggested she might have made a mistake
when i re-retrieved the billfold i was left with
3 fifties and tooney - a $17 tip - not even 15%
...but i did the right thing
[kharma wise and morally]

so what do you friggin know? - here's the cool part

not half an hour later
my table of 9,
despite my clear indication that their bill includes
a 15% autograt
goes and gives me a cool 20% tip over and above
[us waiters call that "extra love"]

the person who asked for and got presented the bill
did not mention the autograt to the the person who
was paying
(us waiters see shit - jsyk)
once again i felt i should do the the right thing
and quietly point out to paying-man that i had already
put on a $140 grat

"ahhh - keep it - thats fine"

bless his heart

thats a slam dunk in my world
i did the right thing
and made 200 extra bones
