Now to touch on a point of irritation. If you are a minnow, vote 100%, you are not doing yourself any favours by voting less than that.

How true! This reminds me of the one (and only) time I waited on tables. I was a kitchen worker in my youth and had somehow convinced a waiter to let me try waiting on tables. He was not really willing to train me well but went along with my request. At a slow point near the end of the lunch shift there was only one couple in the restaurant so he gave me a chance. I guess I came across very nervous or something the the people were in a hurry and very hard to connect with. After they left I cleaned the table and thought that they had not left a tip but there in among the dirty napkins was hidden a couple of quarters. It kind of ended my aspirations to be a waiter at that point.

These type of things really don’t bother me too much now. People like to play games and I have let go of getting irritated by most of it. After all a pile of pennies is still some type of tip right? :)
