I don't know if he got his dinner, but the waiter/waitress may be in for a helluva heavy tip!

 Good one, ST!
Those things are great, although they take a hefty percentage, it's still worth saving all the hassel of counting, wrapping and labeling with an account number which is what my bank would require.
