What about too much comping? After factoring that tip, you'll always spend more money if you're a conscious human being. If you're a "food writer" too. And what do you do then when your beginning to feel like a fattie, you vowed not to be out long or eat too that much that night...and POW WOW. Mo' food, mo' booze. You're eatin' my friend, and you're tipping 49%... In my case, though, not so much to worry about. The hot chocolate at Ray's is a nice touch. Why not for everyone? Maybe he ran out.
