VID 1 (0:34) DJT on letterman back in 1987 regarding tipping. Our President nailed it back in 1987, just like he's been right about Everything else. People have “tipping fatigue”, but how many attribute it to the COMMUNIST takeover of this Country, which is WHAT POTUS is trying to undo, piece by piece, bit by bit?

Worked for over 23 years in the service industry and truly enjoyed the job(s). Owners/bosses back then wouldn't have hesitated booting me or anyone else right the hell out the door for garbage attitude and/OR work ethic. Wouldn’t have even been hired.

Now, the Communists have turned everything so upside-down and backwards that we’ve got entitled people, even older ones (middle-aged +) who apparently have no memory of what was the standard. “Stiffed" somebody recently (not a waiter, somebody on a salary who'd expect “optional” tips, however) because of garbage attitude. Anon realizes people have bad days and am generally more sympathetic having been in Hospitality - much more demanding than this person’s cake gig, but this modern “normal” has numbed me, so fuck ‘em. I’ll stiff ‘em.

Perhaps the biggest challenge: How to reverse this Communists-created "normal”, short of spreading POTUS’ 1987 Tip Quote and getting people to UNDERSTAND and RELATE to it somehow? Realize mileage varies depending on location - especially in metro suburbias which have apparently always sucked, but it’s worse now and had been even prior to chyna flu.

Worked in a “big brand” Union shop later for a few years and watched the Communists shame anything resembling a work ethic. Great salaries & benefits, but experienced firsthand, as they basically TANKED the place. “Lazy” and “entitled” would be the Understatements of the Century. (Yes, the lib white women caused more friction than anyone. I worked best with AAs/Black people, male & female, most of whom were putting kids/grands through college; and the dudes who weren’t lazy cucks.)

Now (depending on LOCATION; worst in blue metro suburbias. Think endless sprawl & strip malls), the small “independents” are at that very same level — ALL “even”, and equally substandard. That’s the Communist way, after all. Restaurants, services, food brands, everyday products, you-name-it. There’s no “competition” - just more deceptive gimmicks with overused keywords, such as “fresh” and “community”. Either way, they're all "EVEN" in "quality".
