Two customers the other day at the (Thai) restaurant:

1) A (tall) (young) (thin) (black) guy in a (Puma) shirt who I recognize from a bit ago, only he walks in without waiting to be seated, and he seems twitchy, and when I come to the table once he's counting a huge wad of cash in front of him and he's keeping it kind of half-hidden under the table, and when after he leaves I pick up the credit card receipt, the numbers for the tip and the total aren't added up quite right.

2) A (fat) (younger) (white) (darker bearded) (kind of autistic-seeming) guy who has a business card and who has a (jubilant) (white) (middle-aged) (female) friend with "vacation energy" with him, and together they have like a $54 meal -- major beverages, an appetizer, two entrees, one pricier -- and when they leave and after he puts it all on his card, there's a $5 tip.

Like, that works out to less than ten percent.
