The only place that refuses large bills here is fast food. I tried a large bill at a gas station once, but he didn't have enough in the register for the change. He said I could wait around if I wanted.

If you pay for the bigger expenses here in cash, such as cars and homes, you can often get them to reduce some of the cost. Cash, here, is fairly desirable and hold some power of its own now that I think about it.

We don't put up with that sort of thing here. They'll tell you to go to the bank. If your paying in change here, they better be the largest coins, otherwise, they don't accept them.

I often ask if something is free. I am always concerned about refills on an iced tea, since it's not actually soda. And the soup/salad is a fair concern!

I ask these sort of questions too. My tipping completely depends upon the service. If your a bum server, I might not tip anything. If your a good server, I'll tip upto 30%. Its really about the same in the longrun for me, I get some pretty shitty servers these days, I've had to wait 15+ minutes for the bill on multiple occasions. So, basically I just reward the good ones with the ammount the shitty one would of recieved. Tipping here is normally 12-18% depending on how good the service was.
Actually, you can even leave negative tips here. I believe its upto 10% of the bill, otherwise the company covers the loss. Its quite uncommon though, and it tends to piss people off. I've only done it once to this waiter who was a complete prick from the moment I walked in, I only left off one coin to make a point. We hardly ever saw him at all, and he was very stand-offish. He only refilled my beverage once. He has also tried to overcharge us. He came out as I was leaving to complain. I informed him he was a prick and told him he ought to provide service as a server.
How ya doing, buddy?
