Most of my clients don't give tips, but one of them gives me a $10 tip in cash around 90% of the time. The usual procedure is he gives me $10 in cash and says "this is something extra". I thank him and leave. It was a bit different today. After giving me the check, he looked around his wallet for a long time, taking out many $20 bills. I knew that he was looking for a $10 bill, but it didn't seem right to just stand there waiting for it. He doesn't owe me that money. I put my jacket on extra slowly to give him time. When handing the $10 to me, he said "this is for lunch". I accepted it and thanked him. He escorted me to the elevator. While waiting, he asked me if I had lunch already. Without thinking about it, I said that I don't eat lunch, only breakfast and dinner. That made things more awkward.

Did he seem offended?

I'm not sure. He had a strange facial expression. I'm not sure if he will stop giving me a tip.Tue Mar 9, 2010 5:52:33 am

Yes. I was there at 1:30. I rarely go there before 3PM.

He probably felt more awkward than you. I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't go there every week. The next visit is whenever computer problems develop. That could potentially be several months from now.

Yes, but I can't think clearly on Mondays.

Why don't you stay on one computer?
