Fuck ketchup, I love mayonnaise on my fries and potato chips ('crisps' to you Brits ).

And I agree with Curt, the American system is embarrassingly retarded. I've read of so many cases in the past where restaurants screw their staff over by withholding substantial portions of tips due the staff. And I also agree with BJ in that it's only respectful to research on local customs of countries you plan on visiting. I did that when I had studied in England years ago (of course, I hadn't expected my trousers to groan and threaten to fall down from the sheer weight of all those heavy British coins).
