Bob goes into an American restaurant. When the waitress comes up to him he admits upfront she’s not getting a tip. He’s here to try the Chef’s signature dish which he can’t really afford to pay for, but **really** can’t afford to pay 120% of the listed price. It’s blowing through almost his entire savings but it’s something he’s always wanted to try. He explains he’s being upfront with her and will take no offence and will not complain if he’s moved down to absolutely last priority. Is Bob a jerk? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5246))_ ---
