Re: Do I accecpt this abnormal tip?
If this lady is still alive, and anything like my grandparents, I'd cash the check sipmly so that her stuff balances correctly. I had the bad habit of keeping checks in my wallet for months, and they hated that.
Also, if she took the effort, I think it's worth it to cash it. It's not that much work on your part.

Re: Do I accecpt this abnormal tip?
It made that old lady feel good to write you that check.
I imagine she will feel the same when she sees that you cashed it.

Re: Do I accecpt this abnormal tip?
Doctor the check to $500 or $5,000.
This is a no-brainer. For scumbags, I mean. Just frame the little check, and let it be some sort of reminder of something that you learned at some point sometime. Maybe over time, it will become apparent exactly what it was that was learned.

[ QUOTE ] Half way through the shift the old lady is long gone and we see paramedics rushing in, at first we have no idea what's going on but later find out it was the same lady who wrote me the $5 check who collapsed on the floor. The paramedics were there for at least an hour so I assume it was pretty serious. [/ QUOTE ] If the lady was already "long gone" from the bar, why would the paramedics later come rushing in for her? [/ QUOTE ] Because it's a big casino

I have never not had online banking so when i buy something the money is subtracted from my account. The laws of addition "balance" my checkbook for me so I never understood WTF people mean by this.

[/ QUOTE ] Checkbooks come with a little ledger where you record deposits and checks, so you can keep track of how much you actually have in the account. You should keep the figures up to date, but many people just record the check/deposit and do the totals later. That is "balancing your checkbook". Your numbers should match the statement the bank sends you. If they don't it's because either a check has not been cashed or your math sucks.

Since shes old and senile she gets frustrated until finally her heart gives out she colapses dead on the floor clutching her life alert.
