Then again, the math is easier to do. :-) My only complaint about the tip is that a waitress working during lunch will make significantly less than one at dinner, where meals are more expensive and drinks are commonly added. I know that there's less work involved - no tossed salads to prepare, setup is less complex, etc., but I still tend to tip a baseline of $2 minimum regardless of meal price. My $2 worth :-) Tom Weaver
