A ‘tip’ for presidential hopefuls
If you’re running for president, and you eat a meal out in public, you best be sure you pay and tip in front of the cameras.
Just ask Hillary Clinton. (Well, just ask her spokesperson.)
At SnagABlog.com, we don’t take sides when it comes to politics. But we do pay attention. A recent story on npr.org caught our attention because of its connection to a now suddenly famous hourly worker. We’ll let you read the drama for yourself, which is a tale about a small town single mom working as a waitress at a greasy spoon diner. One day she waited on Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and she wasn’t tipped… Or was she? Be sure to read the whole story.
The point is this: It shouldn’t take a headline-making run-in and mix-up with a famous politician to remind people to tip and respect wait staff – and all of America’s hourly workers. Or that many people are working two and even three jobs just to get by. But it often does take stories such as these to serve as a reality check. We’re pretty sure that Hillary Clinton will never forget…even if she did tip $100.

Oh the art of making yourself look good! I do hope that Hillary remains strong and makes it into power, and I also hope that she can restore the constitution once in power. Fingers crossed!

Guess what? Hillary Clinton is the only candidate that has these 4 attributes (there are more but I forget): integrity, honor, patriotism, and compassion. I double dog dare you to find another candidate with these attributes. I got $35 in the bank that says you won’t be able to find one.
