By the way, why was I supposed to even care if Hillary left a tip?

[tgnyc]

Does that even remotely have anything to do with anything that matters?

Just sayin'.

1. I don't.

This is the dumbest "controversy" I've read around here in a while.

[blm]

5. It should've been ignored while serious issues were addressed.

2. 'cause the BHO supporters say so!!!!

[aquart]

3. Because a busy presidential candidate SHOULD be figuring the lunch tab

And meting out that 15-20 percent. Yeah, I want someone as president who doesn't know how to delegate.

[blm]

4. I wish her real critics would get a rapid response wall of noise for their concerns.

Especially on the issue of honest and open government accountable to the people....because alot of us don't like what we've seen in the past:

and what we're hearing from Bill on the campaign road in recent days:

>>>>>>>
Any shot at the current president is an automatic applause line with a Democratic audience. But rather than taking the easy ovation, Clinton gently deflected an audience member's suggestion that President Bush be included in his list of global problems.

"Yeah, Bush and Cheney," he said. "I could sit here all night and make you laugh and cry and stand up and cheer talking about the president and the vice president. But the country is over that. Let's get the show on the road again."

Moving past serious illegal operations of Bush1 helped BushInc to grow stronger throughout the 90s while left unchecked by any oversight and led us straight to Bush2.

6. I'm more concerned that restaurants pays such low wages. . .

customers feel the need to supplement the server's income just so they can survive.

I'd as soon be done with all tipping and pay what the meal/service legitimately costs, to ensure the worker gets a decent wage. But that flies in the face of capitalist greed -- "No one will come here if they have to pay what it really costs," and "How will I meet such a larger payroll?" -- and doesn't leave the onus of screwing the worker in the hands of the befuddled client.

[sueh]

8. Ditto. And you said it much more kindly than I could.

Thanks, JourneyMan. :hi:

7. Simple. It speaks to her character.
