While I give them all the credit in the world, I don't know that they'd 
be able to suss out the exact total of the various bills on the tray & 
do the subtraction in the split-second between picking up the tray & 
asking the question. & anyway, I don't think the change is ever less 
than 15%; the problem is more often than it's upwards of 25%.

But I've been semi-persuaded via a variety of channels that there are 
enough crackpots who really *do* behave strangely when change is 
returned to the table that I'm just going to have to come up with a 
whole new strategy. I'm thinking barter with livestock or artisan 
cheeses might do the trick.
