I'm just guessing but I think:

You joked that Kevy could offer sex to the waitress in lieu of a tip.

Szcze interpreted your comment as a suggestion to stiff the waitress on the tip.

Did you mean to say:

"Kevy could offer sex to the waitress in lieu of a tip."

Or

"Kevy could offer sex-to-the-waitress-in-loo as a tip."

Look I think I'm doing DAMN good to post a comment about Kevy, a waitress and sex without sneaking in any type of snide comments. So Don't give me any ****.

As well it should

This whole situation is tough for me. Honestly, I doubt that anyone really should have to send me money as I doubt that anyone did anything egregious. You are all my friends (even Moonie as he has my back on possible solutions ) and I am uncomfortable asking you for money.

And to answer Wendy's query: yes, this has happened before. More than once. But this is by far the worst incident.

I really don't think anyone intentionally did anything bad- I just think the way they divided up the tickets was screwy and it left the door open for people to make mistakes (including the restaurant). Still, kudos to KB for keeping the Swank and making sure the server was properly tipped. I'd like to chip in as well, because that was a budget busting mistake and KB should not have to take the brunt of it.

I posted about the proper way to calculate a tip. You suggested the thread had devolved. I disagreed that the thread had devolved (at that point) because calculating proper tip percentages was germane to the topic.

The "devolved" comment was in reference to Kevy talking about using sex as a gratuity.

Kevy never suggested a sexual gratuity. In fact, at that point (and throughout most of this thread) Kevy had been all business. Cherny is the one who suggested sex-for-tip in the very same post that he suggested the thread had devolved (#6).

Just a friendly suggestion that has worked well for large groups I have been in: nobody leaves the restaurant until the entire bill has been properly resolved. (Or their separate check, if they have to leave early.) This may seem draconian, but I think it's far better than sticking someone for the bill due to an honest mistake (or 12).

I was going from memory, and played the odds that it was Kevy.
