Dinner. Stacey and I have just gotten our credit card slips back.

Stacey: Okay, how much are you leaving?
Maura: Well, 15% is 1.47$ and 20% is 1.96$.
Stacey: Huh? How’d you do that so fast? I’m supposed to be the math person!
Maura: Oh, it’s here at the bottom of the slip.

There you have it, kids. I am a math genius.

It’s pretty easy here… tax is 7.5%. ;)

$5 should be the minimum of any tip even if you get a Yoohoo and a pack of Lucky Strikes.

How tacky is that, that they tell you how much the tip should be? Bleh. :p

One of my favorite pizza joints just started adding 17% tip for parties of seven. For lunch, I often go with a group of, incidently, seven friends and we split two large pizza and two pitchers of soda with the tab coming in at just under $30. We always leave a buck each for the tip.

So basically, my favorite pizza place just screwed their wait staff out of over two bucks a trip.
