  1. Mr. Indelible Incredibly, the best tippers do not come from those who make the best money. It's the regular Joes, like other serving staff, cab drivers, factory workers and construction workers who tip the best. We used to say "The size of the tip is inversely proportional to the increased value of their clothes". In other words , the better they dressed, the worse the tip. And no....it's not a terrible system, except for those who are always watching every dime in their pocket. I worked for 15 years as a server and I would never have been able to get by except for this "terrible system". It's quite apparent that you've never worked in this type of industry and you're one of those you love to abuse their server, and do they ever exist and they NEVER tip. Self entitled jerks who complain about everything from "My potatoes are too hot" to "My corn is touching my mashed potatoes" and "Why do I have so much food?". The world revolves around them and complain so they can feel justified about not leaving a tip. Self righteous do gooders like Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Is that who you mean. "God...protect us from those with good intentions". That's what I say. If you tip me just to feel good about yourself, keep it. I don't need your alms that bad. Tip because I've done a good job, otherwise keep it.

  2. Leave it to the celebrities. They'd screw up the Lord's prayer in their attempts at virtue signalling. I worked for years in the service industry. It was the tips that paid our wages. On busy nights I'd make 30 to 40 bucks an hour, sometimes more, just on tips. And this nonsense about how tipping hurts women. Ridiculous. You can tell Jane Fonda never waited on tables. Women always make more....ALWAYS, and I don't care. I was quite happy with what I was making. "God save us from those with good intentions" Maybe those "loving" celebrities should talk to the people that they say they want to help first. They're going to help me and my associates out of jobs......and thanks, you champagne do gooders.
