Definitely. . . I remember when I shoppped on foot, using my cane -- an
exhausting ordeal.  So I began going by bus(free with annual pass) in my
wheelchair, shopping, & cabbing everything home. (cost $10 back then,
including 18-20% tip.)

One doofus took me on tyhe scenic route & the endfare was $12.50 instead of
$18, so I handed him the same $10 I always pay. He said, "You've only given 
me $10 here."; I replied, sweetly, & pointedly, "That includes your tip fror
taking me the long way -- have a nice day" & I just wheeled off; he didn't
follow me or say anything else.  Some people are nice enough to acknowledge
they were a rectal orifice & got what they deserved & let it go so there 
isn't more penalty to come.
