N-TV Poll

So here’s the situation loyal Naturestelevision readers,

I patronized the popular yuppie sandwich spot near my work today for lunch, and I found myself in a real “pickle.”  I purchased lunch for myself and two associates and paid for it on a credit card.  Like many sandwich shops today, the credit card receipt has a line for “TIP,” as if the place was a real restaurant.  It has been my policy for some time never to tip in these situations under any circumstances.  However, I was momentarily distracted, and I unintentially wrote the total ($40.30 for three sandwiches) next to the “TIP” line.  I then left the total line blank.  Thinking there was no way they thought I was giving them a $40 tip, I handed the copy to the cashier.  I then nervously sat down and relayed the story to my companions.  My friend George thought I would get hosed.  To put myself at rest, I walked back in and tried to clarify the situation to the cashier.  I told her “I did not intend to give you a $40 tip, I meant to give no tip.”  She then said “ok.”  Hours later, I am still concerned I will be charged $80 for three sandwiches.

So what is the verdict?  Will I get hosed on this deal?  Please vote below.
