Tip profiling
While in DC this past weekend I went out to lunch with my father and a friend of his. We went to Houston's in Bethesda. I used to wait tables at the Houston's in Rockville. I had the hickory burger. The service and food were good.
Upon receiving the bill my father's friend insisted on paying. My father relented. As we were getting up to leave I happened to notice that he left a $5 tip on a $40.xx bill. (I glanced at the credit card receipt after he signed it.)
As we were all leaving, we said our goodbyes and he went to the restroom. I lingered behind and when he was out of sight I placed a $5 bill under the receipt (even if he walked by the table he wouldn't have noticed it.)
Comments appreciated on all streets, but I'm mainly interested in my river play.
