How much crystal meth is equivalent to a 20% tip?
An Oregon couple was short on cash after dining at a local restaurant, so they instead left their waitress an envelope filled with methamphetamine.
Ryan Bensen, 40, and Erica Manley, 37, who are both crystal meth dealers, initially tried to use a gift card as payment at the Twisted Fish Steakhouse in Seaside, Ore. When that didn't work, they offered the envelope, which had a scribbled question mark on the front. According to The Oregonian, the waitress took the package, then "calmly walked away and called the police."
Authorities arrested the couple shortly after they obtained a search warrant and found a makeshift meth lab at a nearby Holiday Inn Express where the couple was staying. Bensen and Manley were still at the restaurant when police showed up with two pairs of handcuffs.
