In such scenarios, I hand the waitstaffperson a $20 on the
way out, harboring a belief that bosses tip too low on group
lunches, even if I didn't have a chance to glance at the final
bill. I don't make a point of people (including boss)
seeing me doing this but I don't make a point of hiding it either.

(Hmm... I haven't had a job recently either. Maybe I teed
off too many bosses.)
