Upon finishing his entire meal, plate clean, everything devoured the captain declared to me his meal was unsatisfactory and would not be leaving her a tip. I kept quiet and left more than enough tip to cover both of us.

If you have to travel with the kitchen sink and your blowup doll tip appropriately.
