Clearly Republicans and right wingers do not have hearts.
I worked for ten years as an airline ticket agent at Washington National Airport, and the first six months of that job totally transformed me. I am (I'm sorry to say) capable of being less than nice to others, but about 90% of the time I'm a pretty nice person. Cheerful, helpful, an all around boy scout. Even if I am female.
Most of the time I find it genuinely easy to be kind and helpful to others. I'm sure that's mainly because of my airline years, but I'm still astonished at those who are mean and hateful. Oh, and don't get me started on bad tippers. I never had a job where my wages depended on tipping, but I hope I get it. While I agree that there ought to be a better way, we meanwhile have this system where certain people's income depends on tips. So tip, asshole! A minimum of 15%. Even if the service was crappy. More if the service was good or if you ordered an exceptionally inexpensive item. Example: I sometimes order a cup (yes a cup, not a bowl) of chicken enchilada soup at Chile's. And some garlic toast. The cost of the meal is under $5.00. I tip at least five bucks. Because the server has done as much for me as if I'd ordered a more expensive item, and he or she deserves that tip. Period, end of discussion. A long time ago I figured a minimum tip was one dollar. At some point it rose to two dollars. Now, as far as I'm concerned, it's five dollars. And as I type this, I wonder if my minimum shouldn't be even higher.
I have never waited tables. I'd be terrible at that job. But most of my jobs have been in public contact, and I understand dealing with the public. I sincerely hope I get it right most of the time.
