Just a few hours ago I had lunch in an Italian-themed restaurant in Nashville, TN. I handed the cashier my credit card, and when she gave me my receipt I asked her, "If I leave the tip on here, does the server ever really know that I tipped her? I've always wondered about that; I don't want her to think I was cheap."
From behind me I heard, "Oh, they know, they've seen it all." I turned to observe a pleasant looking, spectacle sporting bald man. He asked me, "You from Ohio?" Surprised at his accuracy, I told him that I was originally from Zanesville, OH but now live in the Bronx.
He then said, "My kids could tell you all the New York boroughs before they were 3 years old. They also know all the Canadian provinces, from west to east and east to west, including the capitals."
Then, he walked away.
