    The middle class are expendable and easily replaceable. They are nothing more than consumers, not producers when you really look at the big picture.

    The acid must be kicking in. You probably shouldn't post again until you get a grasp on reality again.

    I see you seem to think that possessions = wealth.

    Its true. They drive the economy by consuming. Production can be outsourced anywhere else. computer automation and outsourcing are the future.

    Did somebody say 1%? How many jobs does Bill Maher create? That $1 million would feed a lot of hungry kids I bet.

    So the Republican's in this place are trying to justify belittling waitresses? Stay classy.

    A little out of touch with reality.

    What are you talking about? I'm not a Republican, but I found that tip to be ridiculous. The name on the bill shouldn't be redacted, because whoever that asshole is should be mocked in public.

    being a waitress is not a sustainable job for the most part. you barely make minimum wage (except for some outliers who do work at expensive restaurants). For the most part, it is a stepping stone or something to make ends meet, otherwise you will be struggling. while hard work isn't bad, its always good to aspire for something with greater earning potential.

    this guy's advice, while probably a bit douchey, is probably truthful and helpful. moreso than the $4-5 dollars the waitress will use to buy cigarettes with.

    :MARIS61:

    To me, the tipper is making a political statement. He is no different than an Occupy Wall Street type.

    besides, service and tipping are mutually exclusive. You go out of the country, where you don't tip for service, its not like the service is way worse, its fine whether you tip or not. the entire concept is pretty stupid. "tip, or I'll jizz in your food".

    You have lost touch with reality if you think this douche bags "career advice" was more beneficial to the server than an actual tip.

    It was mean spirited and degrading. You should be ashamed of yourself for applauding him for doing it.

    Whatever, its his own form of protest. You start class warfare, expect some blowback from the other side.

    The 1% is often portrayed in mean spirited and degrading ways as well. Its just the irony of it all. You label someone in the "1%"..then fine, he'll leave a 1% tip. Its basically a "fuck you" to the whole class warfare predicated by this OWS movement.

    Not trying to send a message to the server, but to society as a whole. You lump him in to the "1%", then fine, he'll act as he's expected to. 1% tip follows. Its just a form of irony which I find amusing.

    Just like how OWS start blocking roads, shouting around neighborhoods and protesting..assaulting people, getting in people's face and annoying them..that is them being assholes too on a much larger scale.
