So you get hosed for a 20 percent tip and the waiter can't be arsed to visit each person at the table with a card machine and ask how much they owe? I really wonder what exactly the tip is for in this situation.

Once upon a time I worked at an ebook company. We were naively trying to compete with Amazon (i.e. we sold every book we could get our hands on). Sometimes we'd negotiate a deal with a publisher, and slash the price of a book to a poin
