Generous Tipping Experiment

I was at a restaurant in the Dallas airport the other day and left a $50 tip on a $20 meal.  Because I was traveling for business, I used my corporate credit card to pay for the meal. My assistant called me a few weeks later and asked me how she should treat the $50 tip.  She didn’t know about this project and I hadn’t really thought about how to expense that large of a tip.   So I ended up paying for the tip myself but I had a great opportunity to share the joy of generosity with my assistant.
