   No, I'm not suggesting that at all.  For the sake of this discussion relating   
   to my response that I'm giving to the response that you gave me, lets assume   
   that a customer has enough/more than enough to pay for their purchase.  Using   
   the example that I    
   gave, all that I'm saying is that , for the order total that I used in my   
   example, $20.00 even covers it just fine.  The customer does not *NEED* to   
   also, in addition to the $20.00, give me a nickel.
