I actually have started doing this when I remember I have dollah bills.

Ugh, I’ve done the $15-16 thing before. My math skills are passable at best, so I have a hard time doing any of that tip stuff. Half the time I just leave the tip empty and put the grand total on the bottom line cause maaaath.
