If you want to avoid being a terrible person, always tip your waiter or waitress.
You could also make a lasting impression by leaving a tip with a little flare. You have your whole meal to decide on a way to present the money you'll leave, and the possibilities are endless.
You could see it as an opportunity to dazzle the waitstaff with your artistic ability, or just see it as a way to make them smile. At the very least it could get you on Reddit.
1. Incorporate the tip into your art.

2. Or just make the tip itself into art.

3. Create a way to present your tip out of even more of the tip.

4. Include a cute note. (It helps to be an already cute child, but adults can manage.)
