Where does it say this server was a liberal/democrat? I must have missed that part.

P.S. If "everyone else" is paying higher taxes, so is that WORKING individual in the restaurant. I live in California too, but don't yet know if/how much my taxes are going up (actually get my first paycheck of 2013 in about 50 minutes). I am getting a raise in April, though, which should more than compensate for any slight tax increase.

The server is probably in the lower 47% of income earners, thus making her an Obamabot, I know, Fox news said so.

Finally someone said what i was thinking!

If you're so principled, and you're willing to stiff someone to make your point, don't be a coward and a lowlife and take it out on the lowest person on the totem pole. Stiffing a server is weak. Only a punk would do that.

If you really wanna make a splash based on your principles, do it big and refuse to pay the tab PERIOD! Stiff the owner if you've got some real guts. But targeting a lowly server is cowardly.

Of course, I'm not surprised at this man's defenders on here. It's totally the right wing m.o. to stick it to the little guy...being the gutless chumps you often find in their ranks.

What does that have to do with anything? Apparently you don't know anyone who worked as a waiter/waitress. People have put themselves through college working as waitstaff. Many single parents put food on the table for their children working as waitstaff. Many waitstaff support familes!!!!

Obviously you have never been to proper restaurants where there is table service and the dinnerware is not plastic or paper. You complain about people (apparently only democrats) living off the government and now you are complaining about people (apparently only democrats) who are waiters/waitresses who you seem to think are overpaid in their salary and they have the nerve to expect a tip?

I have a tip for you: stay away from restaurants where they provide service to their customers and where a "tip" is the "norm".

tipping is a great avenue for ego-puffing, and that's what it's all about.

forcing the waitresses to be humble and servile in order to 'earn their money'.

and it's not too far a step for some customers to believe they have a right to offer the girl $20 for a BJ between courses; I mean it's an incentive right?

Don't give me no ethical speech when you are guilty of voting to go after hard working Americans. No it is not ok to stiff the waitress but in your opinion it is ok to try to stiff your employer, educated people who also WORK, it's ok to vote to stiff them with higher taxes. Such hypocrites.

Ethical does not mean selective ethical so stop.

If you are going to be ethical then be ethical not hypocritical.
His post wasn't about ethics but cowardice.

Some right wing douchebag is angry at Obama but takes it out on an easy target, that's a coward. But that's the MO of so many right wingers, pick on the lowest man on the totem pole.

You detest people who "shaft" restaurant or servers? Why don't you answer my question. How many tables does a server typically serve in one hour?



Actually while I think of it welfare lifers should give up their welfare checks and pay more to people serving in our armed forces.
LOL. As if you aren't attacking hard working Americans, which would also include waiters and waitresses and their inflated salary you seem to think they are collecting. How do you know who is a democrat? Because someone doesn't see it YOUR way makes them a democrat? Here's a thought: maybe they are independent!!!!

How does someone give up their welfare check and PAY more to people?? No welfare check equals no money. What are they going to use as "payment", rocks??
