Ditto. The nominee at the GOP convention should call for a 20% tip when dining out. Easy to calculate and they will notice. The nominee can also call for Democrats to counter with a 25% tip-also easy to calculate. It will send a message to working people about who has their concerns. The Dems are not big tippers to begin with but they sure like embarrasing Pubs’ so turnabout is fair play.
Way back when I was a student at Clemson University, Georgia Tech refused to alternate where we played our annual football game- we always played in Atlanta and Clemson wanted to play at Clemson every other year. GA Tech chose to end the series rather than change, so when we played that last game in Atlanta, all of the Clemson fans converted their cash to $2 bills (back when everyone paid in cash!)and spent them wherever they ate, shopped etc. It garnered a great deal of attention and made our point. I'm not sure when the series picked back up, but they do alternate now. It was fun and harmless, but it did draw attention to the issue.
I might hit Starbucks this week - the most aggravating part will be going to the bank to get $2 bills, if they even have them.
