Hillary Accused of Leaving the Exact Correct Tip

[msmcghee]

During a campaign stop in Iowa on Friday, the Hillary campaign stopped for lunch at a cafe in NW Iowa's Sac City, where her campaign finance manager paid the $150.00 bill and left a tip for the cafe staff for $22.50, exactly 15%.

Ramona Dearing, waitress, commented that she felt insulted. "Most customers never leave an exact percentage like that", she said. They just round it up or down to something close, like plus or minus a few bucks. It just shows how out of touch Hillary is with real Americans".

11. Yes, and very bad satire. Here is part of the Freeper version:

The Democratic presidential candidate said that the incident helps dramatize the “wretched state of the economy under the Bush Administration.” “The uncertainty and inconsistency of compensation in our economy is the real source of the problem. In an ideal world the government would assure that everyone’s needs are met. It is my pledge to the American people to work toward that ideal once I’m president. In the meantime, let’s not quibble over spare change. Others will tip this woman now that I’ve made her famous.”


Leave the jokes to the libs, freepers. You suck at them.

3. They're undoubtedly high maintenance...

with the secret service and for the high profile people, etc... and they probably drove off other business, too. I always tip 20% unless the service is bad.

4. You're running for president, you better leave no less than 18%

Cheapskate

5. Sounds like the waitress is a Limbaugh fan

What a tool.

One more thing, this 'story' is nowhere to be found on the internet and the author gives no source.

6. digging up 4 bits to leave a tip on a $150 tab is pretty damn petty. I'm sure

that Bill coulda spotted them at least a fin, ya know? Party of the working people.Right-o.

7. I'm glad we have really important issues like this

to keep us from paying attention to trivia like maybe Pakistan imploding and OBL marching in and collecting the nukes or something

8. the horror...the horror

[oldgrowth]

9. Oh come on stop this crap!!!!

[niceypoo]

10. Funny coincidence.....

Besides the fact that this "story" exists nowhere on the internet, the FREEREPUBLIC does have it's own version (also without source):
