I just realized I left a $10 tip for a $6 sandwich. |
|
'Course, the counterperson could've mentioned something, but...(sigh).

Maybe its good Karma.
A few years ago I bought 3boxes of GS cookies and gave them a $20 to keep the change, I then played Keno and won $600
So I did the same thing....and won another $600
and again did the same thing..........and another $600
This was all in a span of 1hour so it could happen

I remember before the "GS cookies" incident I had purchased a WW2 navy book from a veteran who wrote it, and was selling them at the store next to my favorite bar, I am a history buff and it was a good book, but I gave him a huge tip, and told him to keep the change I won at least over $1000 in Keno that day also!!!!

Once about 18 years ago I was a waiter for Pizza Hut, and a man left a $20 tip on a $12 pizza. I actually did go up to him and I said something, but he told me it wasn't a mistake and that I should never ask someone about that.
The counterperson probably thinks you're a great person. :thumbsup:

15. Neither. To be honest |
|
I was distracted by consciously trying not to look at her, um, t-shirt design. Shameful, I admit, but honest.

12. When I worked in a convenience store, a drunk tried to give me a $100 tip. |
|
...to go to a grocery store and buy him a box of toothpicks (we didn't sell them)
I would have done it, except the woman who was working with me didn't want to be left alone with the guy.

13. I left a $100 bill on the night stand at the casino hotel where I stayed.. |
|
last week. The maid was a Choctaw woman who had catered to us like I've never been catered to. I felt like a queen, and my son felt like a prince.
She was SOOO nice. She knocked on the door several times to see if we needed shampoo, ice, towels, more coffee.
Sometimes I tip big. Really big. When I can afford it and when the server/maid/etc. has been excellent.
I hope this doesn't sound "elitist." I always tip, but, sometimes, when someone is extremely nice, I leave a huge tip.

I always tip, too, even at crappy motels. I've had some menial jobs in my life, and tips mean a lot.
