Blind date for dinner. His ex comes into restaurant. He gets up to talk to her. Says he's sorry but he has to try again. Leaves me his credit card to pay for the meal and take a cab home. I looked at him, I looked at the card (AmEx platinum) and went to town. Ordered champagne ($150), wine for surrounding tables ($400), $100 tip for waiter, cab ride from Lafayette (about 6 miles from house) to San Francisco, Marin County and home that way ($375). Seemed fair to me.
