<VV> Dr. Jack, counter help NO CORVAIR

[Marc Sheridan]

That is the same math that I came up with JR, but I thought maybe I was 
missing something.

So what have we learned from this? Chuck is a so so tipper and the server 
was rightfully confused :o).

>From my experience, kids that get used to computers making their decisions, 
get confused with common sense. On the other hand, people that are waiting 
tables and depend on tips for their living, know math very well.

>> He immediately gave the answer, and I told the girl to just five me back
