Moving Up

Practice for 100 word mirco-fiction challenge: harsh criticism welcome :)

Prompt" Genre: Drama. Action: giving a gratuity. Word: fact

"You don't have to leave a gratuity, those people get paid well enough, especially in this establishment." The valet returns the keys to a 1957 Aston Martin. It was routine: He paid, I left a tip, que lecture on socioeconomics, gumption, handouts... His words whisk away, blending with neon lights and palm fronds. I said nothing, not since the very first time. I had pointed out that he had tipped me when we met ($1000 tucked into a G-string rhinestone studded banana hammock). Scoffing he had replied, "oh honey, fact is, that was a down payment, not a tip."
