At the time this appeared, I communicated this to the cartoonists (which was possible at that time), and they agreed that I was right. So I might as well put it here also. It was a 400% tip, not a 500% tip. The first two dollars was the price, not part of the tip. For instance, if you tipped 20 cents on that $2.00 purchase, it would be a 10% tip, not a 110% tip. She tipped $8.00 on a $2.00 purchase, so it was 400%. (Sixty years ago, I was the math freak at school.)

Wow… Even back then, parents were teaching their kids it’s okay to steal!

Sorry Darryl, but you don’t get a refund on tips, even if your daughter put too much money in the tip jar. The second last panel is golden, though.
