ok first of all i am not a complete nit. I am ordering from a gourmetish chinese food restaurant b/c it is good and i don't care if it is expensive. the guy does "speak english" but anything other than protocol on the phone just gets to be really a hassle, which is why i don't ask the price (the first time i ordered from here it was a huge pain in the ass).

and i think everyone has a line in their head that they draw on how much they wish to spend on things. And the amount of the food is a-0k but the tip crosses the line, hence my problem here. i don't *really* care about the money, but i just feel a bit ripped off.

But i guess i will just tip b/c i don't want chinese jizz in my food, and i don't want to wait 2 hours for my food either. (also this would never be an issue but for the first time in like 5 years i am having to be concerned with money.)
