I'll comment on this discussion in a little while, but righg now I've got bigger problems...
Last night sweetcell visited my lovely city and we got housed on a bottle of wine and a few glasses on top of that. I woke up in a panic this morning because I'm pretty sure I fucked up the tip. Smackette usually handles the tip, but she wasn't there last night. I'm not cheap, I'm just an idiot, and that idiocy is amplified when I'm drunk. In my defense, I was also distracted by some ugly chick who took issue with something I said, though even now I have no idea what it was. I maintain my innocence.
Anyway, what's the proper protocol to handle this tip situation?
