friday january 24

today i ordered a $5 beer at bmb karaoke. after handing over a $20 bill, i received a $10 bill and a $5 bill as change. accustomed to leaving at least a $1 tip on every drink, i quickly scanned my wallet for change, but found nothing bigger than quarters. so instead of trying to count up a bunch of small change, i put down the $5 bill and said: "i'm leaving this here now, so i won't be tipping on the next couple." when the guy enthusiastically replied, "oh thank you, that's so generous," i briefly felt the need to clarify again that it wasn't that generous, since it would basically be my tip for the entire night. still, it didn't feel great dwelling on the part where i wouldn't be tipping anymore, so i just said "thanks" and walked away with my beer.
