What do you think about tips?
Personally, I hate tips
They are nothing more than a gip!
Just tell me the whole amount, including the tip
I am a detail person needing to know
The whole amount before I go
Don’t make me figure 10-20%
Especially in front of my friends
If I sit and can’t get it to the penny
I might give away too many
Sleepless nights that will bring
As that will screw my budget thing
My money comes every month in a fixed amount
So I can’t spend more than I can count
Italy is the place to be
They have no tips to make you worry
You always know the total cost
I enjoy my food and never feel lost
Figuring the tip should not interfere
With my struggle to enjoy my meal
Do you hear??
