I can't stand for my statement to be all sorts of weirdo numbers ($17.11, $22.43, etc...at least not when I can control it; no, I don't do this at a store, only at restaurants where I can work the tip to make it come out).

And you both just earned the undying hatred from all the food service employees that have ever served you. Imagine how they feel when they tip out at night and get $2.67 instead of an even $3. This leads to busboy abuse where the servers dump all of their loose change into *his* tip envelopes instead of giving nice crisp bills.



Damn 16 year old memories. Die you stupid pennies, die. Crap, just fell into the animist trap.
