I believe that's a legitimate assumption, no?
What do you do in this case? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

What do you do in this case? That was my point...don't sweat it just leave a couple of bucks. UNLESS, service was so bad that it didn't warrant anything extra.
