Once I started making my own money, I'd usually furtively drop another couple of dollars down on the table as we headed out
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who did this! An ex of mine was a horrible tipper, so I would always leave a little something extra. He actually used to tell me that I tipped people too much, and that on all those overnight shifts at a copy-shop putting together mega-projects for people, he never got tipped. When I pointed out that he was also making anywhere from 2-7 times as much as the average server/barista/bartender, he got snippy.
I even leave tips when I stay at hotel. Nothing huge, but a few dollars.
Yeah, Torre's in Westport just isn't the same.
Oh, and Fidel's, the tobacconist in Westport, has a tip jar. That, to me, is truly WTF.
