I tipped 15% when I was young.
When my father went blind, I took him out to lunch for 3 hours on Saturdays, with his credit card.
He spilled food all over the floor for 3 hours.
He used up all the toilet paper in the men's can.
Then we went to the women's can and used up all their toilet paper.
I tipped 30% with his money.
Everywhere we went they were happy to see us come back.

That sold me on big tips.


There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
