At least leave some Ike Dollars or Kennedy Halves image people like this deserve every bad thing that could possibly happen to them, all at once, and then be left for dead.
ok, maybe that's a little harsh, but I leave at least 10% even if the food wasn't good because it wasn't the waitresses fault.

    That's just a d**k move, no matter what your income is.

    Of course, there are tons of wealthy people who are generous tippers as well. image
    I like large size currency and silver dollars.

    Lots of people are lousy tippers. I don't see a need to turn tipping into a political statement.

    Until PCGS adds a class warfare forum let's reserve this one for precious metals.

    If the resteraunt and bar owners paid a fair wage in the first place the employees wouldn't be left relying on tips. Ive never understood how the bars could ever be popular here for that reason.

    This sounds like a fabricated story and I'm skeptical it ever happened. But, since I saw it on the internet, it must be true.

    I'll bet that a lot of 99%ers could not wait to watch the 1%ers give themselves little golden (colored) statues last night. Seems like a pretty symbiotic (and koombiotic) relationship to me.

    The story might be a fake, but even if it's real, I'm not sure what it has to do with the so-called 99% vs. 1% (which is itself just another ridiculous attempt to pit people against each other in "social classes" like in the old days of communism). If the story is true, the guy was either an a** or she was a terrible waitress, or maybe both. Doesn't have anything to do with how much money he supposedly makes.

    Watch the video and you'll see. 1%'ers are making it a point to leave a 1% tip when they feel the service wasn't up to par or if the food wasn't good enough for them.

    That's 1% more than I'd leave. Crappy service & crappy food I go straight to the manager and raise tee total cane!

    No, excuse for either and certainly NOT BOTH!!!

    If people want to rise above the economic class that they were born into, this is the country in which to accomplish it.

    I would hazard a wild guess that there aren't many recent (legal) immigrants participating in the OWS camp-outs. They get it.

    It's my contention that most of the protesters have made conscious decisions not to contribute to society, at least not in economic ways. I contend that they have made that decision and that they don't want to abide by the results of their own decisions. They don't get it.

    No matter what shape the society and the government structure takes, those types of decisions will result in poor results - whether it's total freedom, capitalism, crony-capitalism, socialism, communism, dictatorship, or anarchy. Making a decision *not to work* or *not to contribute* will always come back in your face.

    to add some more background on mobility..

    PEW mobility assessment

    jmski, you're right about immigrants, but one interesting finding in the doc above is that the perception of upward mobility in the usa is quite a bit stronger than it actually is. if you're poor in the usa, you're more likely to stay poor than in most other developed countries, regardless of how hard you work.

    But that doesn't change the fact that this goes on to some degree, and personally, I just think it's wrong to do. Like deryb said...karma will rule.

    It goes on, but again, this doesn't have anything to do with the so-called 1% vs. 99%. Plenty of rich people tip well, and some of them are jerks, but the same is true also for people making less money. It doesn't depend on income level, it depends on character and personality.

    Too bad she didn't spit right in his arrogant face.

    Or worse they spit in your food next time you dine.

    I actually leave, a 30% tip where I dine for lunch daily. The waitresses provide superfast service. Out in usually 25 minutes since I only have an hour for lunch.
