Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
In the olden days, waitresses got less than minimum and earned the rest in tips. It created a moral obligation to tip: if you can’t afford the tip, you can’t afford the meal, you owe her a tip as part of her wages.
Now that waitresses make $9.00 hourly, they don’t need to rely on tips to supplement wages. They can quit trying so hard and I don’t need to feel guilty about not tipping, right?

Oh, why not? Every other consequence of political manipulation of wages is unintended; why should quality of service be any different?
Think of all the quarters you’ll save.
The worst tippers I have ever met, are Democrats. Two of them use some typical liberal economic logic for their cheapskate actions (and this was their actual logic); Well, menu prices went up 5% so my 10% tip is actually 15%. Unbelievable stupidity!
Why unbelievable, boss? We have EmeryTheAntisemiticSoci@list on parade every day here as case in point.
Turn that frown upside down big guy!
Since we eat out so rarely we’re very good tippers.
Well, I thought it was funny, Emery.
And original. (I even checked to see where you might have copied it from with no joy.) Good job. Have a cookie.

Today you should take a moment and send an encouraging message to a fucked up friend, just as I’ve done. I don’t care if you lick windows, or interfere with farm animals. You hang in there cupcake, you’re fucking special to me, you’re my friend, look at you smiling at your phone!’ ;^)
