That's why I always bring Twinkies....

In this entire discussion, I have tried to do two things:

1. State my own opinions on tipping and how I acknowledge that my tipping tends to be higher than others
2. I have NEVER asked for recompense for any money

If you don't agree with how I came up with things (or for any other reason), YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEND ME MONEY. I will not be keeping track of who does or doesn't. And I don't care if anyone does. I have not and will not ask for money on this. No one is obligated to send.

In this case, I feel that the extra money was warranted, especially in light of all the fiascoes of split bills and an extra hour of her time just to try to make sense of everything.

I understand that, and as I said, I wasn't indicating that the tip was unnecessarily exorbitant.

But with "shame" and implications of theft being tossed about, I thought I'd point out that it was based on a somewhat inflated number and that the reality of the situation was notably different than the original premise given.

I was a server for a total of 9 months in a very nice restaurant at South Coast Plaza. During that 9 months, we had 8 different incidents of theft. Although not all incidents were solved, the ones that were were done by a) a bus boy (2) b) another server (1) and c) a restaurant patron (2). So, my own experience leads me to the possibility that is it something to consider. Not that we probably will ever know.

And, shame on your for NOT thinking the worst!
