Armistead, that reminds me of an experience I had many years ago. We had a local restaurant with an upstairs that could be rented for parties. The large group of friends I had at the time held a birthday party for one of us. We only had one poor girl taking orders for about thirty of us, and she did a great job. When it came time to go they sent three more people up to help clear the tables. We all left a tip, but then one of our party pointed out that there was a chance that it would be divided among the four of them. She convinced us all to pitch in what we could, and I'm betting she collected at least $100. As we were leaving she said "We're betting you'll have to share the tip with the others, so this is for you." The girl almost cried.
