1. Cash isn't even necessary...he could have a SS agent tip them. |
|
The point is that he didn't even consider a tip.

4. I agree with you about the tip business |
|
I am just curious as to why the President does not carry cash.
Also, do the SS agents get reimbursed, or are they given a "petty cash fund" for which to pay for the President's stuff?

7. in the world the bushes come from, everything is signed for... |
|
and the gratuity is generally included and automatic.
i worked as a waiter in a couple of exclusive private clubs where that was how it was done. many of them never carried cash, although a lot of them would also tip you cash above and beyond the automatic amount.

9. I was under the assumption |
|
that it was so if attacked they couldn't say they were trying to rob him. If he has no cash then the attack must be for another reason. Of course, by the same token, every one knows what a miserable failure he is and I'm sure the cash idea wouldn't even cross an assailants mind.

11. His "HANDLERS" should carry cash - |
|
and as we know, for whatever reason, he has "HANDLERS". They should at least carry cash to make up for King George's inability to understand how the rest of us live.
