I've only left $0 once in my life at a BP.

Speaking of friends and tipping...
I used to have a friend who, when the bill came, started out saying he didn't have enough for a tip. This is at a place we would frequent quite often. So the first few times, the rest of us would more or less cover his tip. After a while we told the waitress, he was not throwing in a tip, so it looked like the other 3 of us were cheaping out also, as the tip was missing 1 person out of 4. Then we started asking for seperate bills. Shortly after he would get everything on 1 bill, and pay on his Visa, without his tip again, and take our money.
At about this point we told him either to tip, get his own tab, or not come out for lunch with us. He started tipping.
It bugs me when bad or no tippers are on the same bill as me and it looks like I am a cheap prick also, because I am not.
