http://www.sunjournal.com/news/maine/0001/11/30/gov-paul-lepage-says-he-tips-servers-less-push-political-point/2101979Heres a heads-up for anyone waiting on tables around Maine: You might want to be wary about serving Gov. Paul LePage.
The governor told a radio host for Z105.5's Breakfast Club that hes so determined to fight the phase-out of the tip credit that hes slashed the size of his tips to prove a point.
I cut the tip in half and then I put the comment, Call your legislator, on my charge card receipt, LePage said Tuesday.
If I know who the legislator is, Ill put their name down, LePage told host Matt Boutwell, who calls himself Matty B on air.
