So eating a meal knowing you are not going to pay for it isn't stealing? If you use an example of something to support the your feelings on another subject, that is linking the two, essentially justifying the one argument with the other. Perhaps you need to learn. Like I said, I usually do tip, but if my crew wants to create some image of me in their heads over one interaction, the problem is with them, not me.

What happens if they think I am a cheap &^%( like you call me, but then I buy the crew dinner on my credit card? Oh my, I guess the world is more than black and white. I am surprised all the heads of people are not blowing up all over town with these grey area happenings. How do you sleep at night?
