And we stayed in top notch hotels too. I paid for a Mediterranean cruise and a Baltic cruise. Other than paying for meals and trinkets the rest was free!

I'd actually prefer to pay with a credit card. However, we (my husband and I collectively as a household) prefer to NOT buy things on credit. Buying on credit means we owe money at the end of the month. We try to keep our bills low. That means for most daily/weekly expenses, I pay cash.

If you don’t care that people are stealing from you it would be wise for you to eat at home too.

I eat out at least 4 to 5 times a week and have been living her close to 9 years. Once my bill was rounded but iwas to my favor. Honestly, if I was shorted a few coins I don't care. If 50 cents was that important I would be eating at home.

Happy to hear others taking your money works for you. Most people don’t like other’s hands in their pockets helping themselves. Those people prefer choice to whom they will donate.

I always pay with a credit card. It saves me the hassle of getting angry if a server wasn’t going to give me my change back.

As a business owner I’d ever dream of taking a tip that wasn’t given to me.

You are absolutely wright. The customer has to make the decision to give the waitress the money due you if he wants only
