traditional saltiness

there's this eatery a few miles off the place i stay that offers one of the best hot chocolates. the price on the menu is $1.65 beside, the fine print reads "complimentary refills" so immediately the spirit of kiam-siapness took over. my plan was to order one and get as many refills possible. but then i was told there was only 3 refills. nonetheless, 3 was still filling :) i was abt to pay the paltry sum when i realised that it was customary to prepare a 15% tip. i thought: the few cents change would do. then i recalled the waitress tirelessly shuffled to and fro just to get me the refills. so i left her a dollar. sigh. should have gotten the onion rings instead
