Wow.... this thread already devolved.

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.

Damn, Strike one for me.

OK, as the glutton for punishment that I am, I'll take another swing.

Chernabog's "devolved" comment came directly after the "boning" comment. So I would put forth the two are related and as such the comment was not a comment on your comments but rather a comment on the comment contained within Chernabog's comments.
