I had seen this done before so...
I tried it tonight. I am out of town traveling on business and after a long day, decided just to take a short walk over to a well known coffee shop. The dinner was okay, typical american type fare, nothing to write home about, but pretty cheap.
What did happen though, is the service was great and I could tell the staff was working hard...not that it would have mattered for this...
I got my bill and walked up the the cashier. I did not fill out a tip, waiting to be given the receipt back to add it. Instead, looking a little disappointed, the cashier asked me if I would like to leave a tip? Yes, I said, make it for $15. She said..."$15???" I said yes, $15 because tonight I am feeling the Bern. I am making this tip $15 in support of a $15 minimum wage which Bernie Sanders supports, if I was feeling the Hill, it would have only been a $12 tip. She smiled, said ok and gave me the receipt to sign.
I signed it, wrote down "Feel The Bern" smiled and thanked both the cahsier and my waiter.
That was a great feeling and if it resulted in 2 more votes for Bernie, I do not know, but if they are votes for Bernie, they will be Latino votes for Bernie. (Added bonus) Regardless, that was a much more satisfying $32 spent on dinner than going out to a nicer place and just leaving a standard tip.
I am lucky to be able to do such a thing, way too many are not.
FEEL THE BERN!
Encouraging posts tonight too. During dinner, I was catching up and saw that great post about traffic to Bernie's site vs all others. Saw how Bernie blows away GOP candidates in the General WHICH is the main reason people not paying attention tell me they support HRC...now I get to tell them hoooooolllld on nelly! Also, totally dug the post about denmark being named the friendliest country for BUSINESS despite being a socialist country...tempered capitalism is GOOD for Business, NOT bad for it!
Oh and I don't just want a sig line (although I will take that too!) I want that actual T-SHIRT! Although I guess it would have to be a T of Che wearing a T, not just my mug because nobody would get it.
Go forth and conquer Bernistas! have a great evening.
