yay!!! :-)

IMHO 18% is rather high anyway.
I thought the average was 15% for good service, 10% for so so service
and if I get REALLY bad service, I leave 2 pennies on the table!

For excellent, top rate service (like I got one night at Magic Time
Machine for my mother's birthday), I'll often tip up to 25%. :-)

I believe in rewarding effort.....
