(thumbs u One of the few sensible responses.
Consider this receipt for lunch picked up by Roman Abramovich:
$47k for lunch, and that's all going down the toilet a couple hours later...
Apparently he also tipped an additional $5k on top of the automatic 20%, so his total tip was more than the sale of NM98.

I'm sure Mr. Abramovich had just closed a major deal. So, you're example is quite mute.
