So if you got a $1000 tip you'd give it back?

I'm sure there's hair stylists/cutters out there in Hollywood and other places that charge $$$$s for haircuts so a $1000 tip may not be unheard of.

Conspicuous consumption, inappropriate generosity...... - both not very nice in a world where so many lack even the basics for survival.

It is.

I wonder if she is old and has poor eyesight and was going to tip a $100, still extravagant but less so.

Or she is wildly upset having lost her lover or was told she was dying and at that moment money didn't matter to her < sigh the romantic imaginative side has come out in me, should go off and pen a 'mills and boon'

Now your taking thing's a tad out of context here.

You did report those tips on your taxes right ?
