Kerry a bad tipper?
Sen. John Kerry: Eight episodes mentioned -- far more than anybody else -- on www.bitterwaitress.com. The tips ranged from less than 1 percent to 5 percent.

2. Perhaps more bitter over politics than tipping?

3. Look at this
Tipper's Name: George W. Bush
Where it happened: DC
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $753.58 / $1.28 / 0%
What happened:
He must have done the math himself!

4. So the HF interns have gotten to BitterWaitress too, huh?
Give me a break. As your SN suggest--question everything. This is way too transparent, IMHO.

5. all rich people are bad tippers except nouveau riche NT
I'd rather wait on a middle class person trying to impress someone than a rich person any day. Of course it has been awhile since I waited tables so maybe rich people have gotten more generous...but I seriously doubt it.

Bill Gates doesn't tip either.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

6. I thought I saw that about Gore, as well
But it was for take-out food and it was a staffer. I wonder if the situation wasn't the same in this case?

7. The bills are rounded up
Almost all those bills have a payment that is rounded up to the next $50.00. I would think the Kerry's are accustomed to going to restaurants where the tip is automatically calculated into the bill and just round up for bookkeeping.

Somebody even dissed on sweet little Andrei!!

8. Charles Barkely said that Michael Jordan was a terrible tipper
On Larry King Live - he was talking about his book - says in the book that Jordan is a cheap bastard! LMAO
