so I go to a dinner in a nice steak house last week. I get there early to chat with a co-worker. He orders two beers for us and the waiter says its $12.60. He gives him a $20. The waiter returns with one of those receipt folders with $7 even in it. In other words he just kept the 40 cents. Its not much I know but otoh, it is not his to keep.

Needless to say I order a round next and its the same price. I used a debit card though and left him 40 cents.

Its what I thought he would want since that is what he "took" last time.

funny thing was I was thinking of this thread the moment it happened.
