Today I went to the best Mexican restaurant in Palo Alto and ordered the usual, Chile Verde super burrito style to go. Total cost including tax was $5.99. I handed the cashier a $10 bill. He asked if I had an extra dollar. Just for that I left $2 in the tip jar.

he wanted a $5 tip? that's just crazy.

maybe he was doing this because he was short on 1s and wanted to give you a $5 bill for change instead of 4 $1 bills? Or that it'd be easier for customer?

i think thats the point Boris was trying to make, that the guy was trying to do what would be most convenient for Boris instead of angling for a tip
