That is a bad idea. If you are so cheap you cannot tip, stay home and use that money to prep. A lot of folks work for tips. Your idea will simply force them out of a job and onto the public dole. They ARE working for God’s sake.

Their selection of Ozero will help to put many many people out of work very soon. Possibly even themselves since the restaurant business has a VERY high failure rate during hard
economic times. I always try to thoughtfully consider what
the consequences of my vote will be. A note in the tip line
might make them do the same. But, sadly, that will be too late.

Thanks for your reply, but your argument fails for me...

Please consider this: many of the people you feel might be “libs” are just stupid kids. Their dress and appearance are not indicative of their “worth.”

If you don’t want to leave a tip, thats up to you. Writing a note those kids is not going to change anyone’s politics. It is a cruel thing to do to someone who is probably struggling to pay off huge college debts and cannot find a job elsewhere. Or, as was the case in 1986, that person was my wife working a second job to help us pay for my MBA night courses. Yes, her hair was a little punk— but she was as red state as you could imagine.

I know you won’t change your mind, but consider that your actions will hurt and discourage the wrong person.

I know what you are trying to accomplish, and I respect your intention. I just disagree with your tactics. But thanks for being polite and agreeing to disagree agreeably. Have a wonderful weekend.

Reminds me when I was waiting tables through college and a guy gave me $1 and a Jesus track on a $35 check. I am a fellow brother in Christ and what if he did this to an unbeliever. Why would anyone want to be a Christian if they treated people this way. I am ashamed to say I didn’t correct the brother.

There’s a reason waiters hate blacks, women and Christians.

If you can’t/won’t tip your server, stay home and make your own food and serve yourself.
