My debt to waiters/waitress is paid... Well, not all (and other stuff)

Today, I was half an hour late for my exercise class, because I realized about halfway to the gym that I forgot my music to teach the class. So, by the time I ran back, got my music, and took the metro back, I was about half an hour late. :(

I then spent the day at La Ronde with Flavio. He got a headache after riding the Monster, so we went home. I decided to go and get some Indian buffet for dinner, because I had a hankering for Indian buffet. At the end of my meal, which came to $15.90 with tax, I paid a $20. The server came by and she took my money, and got changed. When she was approaching, I looked at her, and I thanked her. My original intention was to thank her for bringing it back to me, but she took that as "thank you, I don't need change.", and thus she put all the remaining portion ($4.10) into the tip box. Now, the service was not spectacular, but it wasn't horrible, and I'm not that cheap that I need to ask for my $2. So, today, I left $4.10 in tips. Since tips is calculated on the pre-tax amount, which was $13.95, I will find out what percent $4.10 is.

$4.10/$13.95 = 23.39% tip.

I consider my debt to all previous servers paid in regards to tipping. I will now continue to tip 10 - 15% of pre-tax total. I now also know to not say anything, and get the server to bring me back the change.

On the way back, I also witnessed the aftermath of a bus hitting a pedestrian. There were two ambulances, and body sheets/bags. :( I hope no one is seriously hurt, but I wouldn't know.
