More on tipping

Okay, so many of you have emailed or commented on my a href=”http://drhelen.blogspot.com/2008/10/should-you-tip-less-in-obama.html”previous post/a on tipping stating that this is an unfair strategy as it penalizes people who do not believe in wealth redistribution. This comment is a good example:br /br /blockquoteI am a school teacher who has been delivering pizzas for some extra bread, and will be buying into our owner’s next store as an investor.br /br /Also I deliver to a lower middle class/working class neighborhood as well. The other night at a house, saw a Ford F-150 in the driveway (and no it did not appear to be Dad’s work truck) and a Toyota Camry. Nice Hispanic lady answered the door, married, three kids and what do I see in their living room? A 60 inch tv! Hmmm I work two jobs and can’t afford a 60 inch tv. Bet they can’t afford to buy their kids health care huh?br /br /Of our eleven pizza drivers, I know of no one who is voting for Obama, except for one spaced out kid who is a total idiot (and probably isn’t registered anyway). And we have drivers all over the spectrum from “older guys (I am 43)” to young college age kids.br /br /Please don’t take it out on us.br //blockquotebr /br /There is no way I could. In the space of the past 24 hours, I have been out to eat three times and left even bigger tips than I usually do. I am watching people work hard and I know I cannot withhold money to local people in Tennessee that are so industrious. Perhaps in blue cities or where it is clearer that people believe in redistributing wealth, it would be easier. Another thought is that if as many of the servers and pizza delivery people are for McCain as commenters are saying, he must be doing pretty well.
