I agree with you, but the x%required indication is no excuse (not that you said it was) for leaving $.00, zip, nada! If I hired a handiman and didn't like the job he did, how far would I get if told him he would be paid nothing for the service I personally received from him and dismissed him! To me that would virtually be the same as giving a wait person absolutely nothing for their service!

And to 2BNTV... Spot on Joe. There must be a good reason that our parents named us Joe!
