Tips

Today I went to eat dinner at a typical Chinese diner, and I mistakenly gave them only 50 cents for a $22.50 meal. What happened was I gave them $30, then they gave like $8.50 back in change. I took $7, thinking I gave them $1.50 in tips; but when I got home I realized that that was definitely not the case. Why didn't they just give $7.50 in change? I would have just taken the $5 bill. I don't think they will like me very much now.

On the other hand, I don't think they liked me any extra last time when I gave them 15% tips, so...now we are even?
