So it turns out the Clinton camp didn't tip after all.
Kos is running with this:
Esterday said "nobody got tipped that day," and NPR should have checked with the Clinton campaign before the story aired to see if any tip was left and how it was done. We regret that this was not done. On Thursday, Esterday was sticking by her story.
"Why would I lie about not getting a tip?" she told NPR. She also maintained that her co-workers at the restaurant had not received tips.
A Clinton campaign staffer called on Esterday at the restaurant Thursday after the story aired. The staff member apologized to her and gave her a $20 bill, according to Esterday. The Clinton campaign confirmed that visit. The campaign also produced photocopies of receipts showing $157.46 was paid to Maid-Rite on a VISA card on Oct. 8 for meals consumed by the candidate's entourage. The tip was supposed to have been paid in cash, and the campaign insisted such a payment was made but has declined to make available a staff member who was present at Maid-Rite and left tip money [...] "Where Hillary was sitting, there was no tip left," Crawford said.
The woman has repeatedly revealed who she is, ever since she was First Lady. When are those who support her going to realize the kind of person they’re supporting? It will give me great joy to see her not receive the Dem nomination. [I have faith.]
Harumph!
That waitress had the honor of serving Her Heinous. That should be enough for any of the little people. On your knees, slave!
“The tip was supposed to have been paid in cash,” Now why would you pay the tab with a credit card and pay the tip in cash? Usually, the reason you do this is so the server can avoid claiming the tip as income.....
But everything she does is for the Little People! (Little People = everyone who is not Hillary).
Hitlery lied?!?
I hope you are right. Even tho she is most likely beatable in November (if the Republicans keep their ducks in a row and behave like men and not weenies) it would give me great joy to see her LOSE in her own party.
ANd then with any kind of luck the Clintons will fade quietly out of national politics and we won;t have to look at their faces ever again.
I wish.
OK, 15% of 157.00 is 23.55. That is the LEAST amount for a tip that the waitress should have received. To have to serve such a large, and I am sure, difficult group, they should have left 20%! How stupid is the Clinton camp. To have the story air about no tip and then try to fix the mistake by leaving too small of a tip!
You mean a Democrat aided and abetted the waitress's avoidance of paying her "fair share of taxes...?"
Seems this is SOP for madam Clinton.......
During her 2000 Senate race, Clinton failed to tip a server at the Village House Restaurant in Albion, N.Y. Two weeks later, after some negative media attention, Clinton phoned the server to apologize. Her campaign also sent a $100 savings bond.

The hole hitlery entourage are a bunch of freeloaders.
Waiter/Waitress friends tell same about lots of afro-amerikans.... slim on the tip. Tryin to be 2nd black prez.
Wees deesurves it!
“What waitress?” -Hillary Clinton
“The campaign also produced photocopies of receipts showing $157.46 was paid to Maid-Rite on a VISA card on Oct. 8 for meals consumed by the candidate’s entourage.”
I’m confused, I thought yesterday’s story was that the bill was $57 and the tip was $100, or was it the bill was $100 and the tip was $57?
I guess I need to stay online more to keep up with the ever-evolving “truth” as told by HRC.
Waitress commits suicide by firing 10 rounds into her own skull......may be the next headline....
I’m asking the same frustrated question as you.
Allow me to add another question.....This is campaigning 101. You take the candidate to a restaurant...YOU LEAVE A TIP!
Didn’t this happen one time before?
And that campaign continues to make this most horrific of gaffes.
We need some Republican operatives to get on this. If this was a Republican that left some poor waitress nothing, and then LIED about it...Jame Carville would be serpent-heading all over the TV spitting and hissing about rich Republicans and their divorce from the common people. Various Dem spokespeople would be on all the cable shows, explaining to the soccer moms why Republicans can’t even be trusted to tip a humble waitress. Move-on.org would have cartoons of nasty Republicans beating on innocent waitresses.
This is really a serious gaffe, the kind the ladies at the beauty parlor would understand quite well. Most all of us have waiters or waitresses in our families and many of us have been one as well. It’s something that will resonate with the common people.
Yet the pubbies are too “polite” to bring it on.
Tip? No tip?
It’s all irrelevant, the message here is that her highness does not carry cash, she’s not like the rest of us.
...which only costs $50. LOL!
