There’s an old saying you might want to consider: Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
You are a cheapskate in search of justification. If you don’t like tipping, don’t eat out...
First, I never said I stuff anyone. I tip, and I pay for the service I get. I may hate it but i still do it. But I resent waitstaff presuming that they will get and always deserve a tip.
Second, no shame in being a cheapskate. I am a single mom supporting a disabled daughter. I am also debt free with no public assistance or child support or alimony. I believe in being self supportive.
Third, I see just as much hate and acrimony and envy and jealousy and heart bleeding on this thread as I do at DU.
And incidentally, I have always hated that phrase. Dangerous ground to trod. Afterall, what do the scriptures say about calling another person a fool?
It does say, though, that a fool has said in his heart there is no God. Since I have not denied the existence of God, I think I’m ok.
No actually, I prefer the term idiot. At least that is a clinical term and it might get me some of that wonderful Obamacare assistance. :D
