Everything Macron does here is calculated. It's the difference between leaving no tip and leaving a nickel as a tip—the latter is a no-ambiguity message, "This wasn't oversight, it was a deliberate choice"

The contrast between his admiration for one man and contempt for the other couldn't be clearer
