Sorry, I prefer to eat while rushed.

That’s how the median American household income is US$7,600/month. Half of all households make more than this.

Most people get 4-5% credit card cash back at restaurants (Amex, Chase, Cap1).

I prefer getting 18-25% cash back by leaving $0.01 tip.

I leave 1¢ so they know I didn’t forget. It saves a lot of back and forth.

Probably Indian or South Asian.

Look at how dirty they behave in their own community (Sunnyvale, California)

Meanwhile bathrooms and in nearby Cupertino, Mountain View and even San Jose are much cleaner.
