Now, why don't you explain to me just how "appreciative" I am supposed to be if you leave a $1 tip? That means that besides making less than 1/2 the national minimum wage, I have actually paid money out of my own pocket for the privilege of being your waiter.

You can guess exactly where you can stick your "any tip should be appreciated, no matter how small."
