I would tip more but not 20% on take out! I probably would have cancelled and left under those circumstances
I recently heard a story that got me thinking about tipping culture. Someone placed a $120 takeout order and left a $7 tip. The cashier looked at the screen and asked, “Only $7?” Then the manager stepped in and said, “If you can afford $120 in food, you can afford a 20% tip.” The customer pointed out that tipping was optional. The manager allegedly responded that they had the right to refuse service. With other customers watching, the person cancelled the entire order, got their money back, and walked out. Now, let’s look at both sides. A $7 tip on $120 is about 5.8%. Some people will argue that it’s too low, even for takeout, because staff still spend time preparing, packaging, and organizing the order. Others will argue that a tip is voluntary, that takeout isn’t the same as full table service, and that customers shouldn’t be pressured into paying an extra $24 just to avoid public embarrassment. Personally, I think there’s a difference between hoping for a generous tip and confronting a customer over one. But here’s the real question: Was cancelling the entire order justified, or was $7 on a $120 takeout order genuinely too cheap?
Phelan needs to be voted out. He is too ignorant to be in politics
GOP Texas State Rep. Dade Phelan says he will not vote for fellow Republican Ken Paxton: “He does not align with my morals and integrity… I’m a team player, but at some point, I got to draw the line.”

No she is not. She is a realist and you are a foolish tool
You are a racist!
You are a fascist in its purest form! You would fit right in with the 3rd Reich
Why are Trump and his allies attacking me? I touched a nerve because I talked about corruption. The average person understands that the president is enriching himself and using taxpayer dollars to do it. It triggers them when you bring that up.
Oh, but you were OK with the weaponing the government against President Trump and his allies and many innocent J-6ers? You make me sick with your fakeness
You can disagree with Rep. Ilhan Omar on every vote she's ever cast and still see that something is very wrong here. Federal agents raided a sitting member of Congress's home and are now working to strip her citizenship, just two weeks before Americans head to the polls. The timing speaks for itself. When an administration turns law enforcement against political opponents in the middle of an election, every citizen should be worried, regardless of party. We need a strong, secure immigration system that enforces the law fairly and keeps politics far away from it. wsj.com/politics/policy/ilha…
Note: an anti-American Fake Citizen
Just a quick reminder, this lady has been a US Citizen longer than Melania
BREAKING : John Thune is the most hated man in the Senate right now, and he knows it. He’s a sellout and needs to go.

You are not owed a damn thing. Go to work
As a Black man, I’m not impressed by flying cars. I’d be more impressed if our government pay us our reparations. That’s my message for Black people today.

He’s the self-serving showman along with his wife. I can’t watch a Chiefs game because of those two
Travis Kelce In a bombshell, uncensored interview, Travis Kelce didn’t mince words, calling Don@ld T.r.u.m.p“a self-serving showman” and issuing a blunt warning to the country:Wake up before it’s too late.”“He’s exactly why constitutional safeguards and accountability exist.”

Nobody has asked and nobody cares
Taylor Swift reportedly says she won’t perform at Trump’s White House ballroom. Thoughts?
The evidence is he went to texas university! Morons abound there
Let me tell you something, senator, if you attempt to imprison Americans based on their support for the president and their political activity, you’ll be facing unrelenting litigation.  I can assure you of this.  You don’t own our country. You don’t own our justice system.

Please don’t bring yourself to the USA. You would make a horrible American with that thinking.
I’m not American but I do live on this planet so feel I have every right to say this: there is nothing more important for all of us than getting rid of Trump & his toadies. For the love of all that’s holy, vote Democrat at the mid-terms. It is literally the least you can do.

Elissa Slotkin says that she wants to prosecute people working for the Trump administration to deter and scare young people from taking a job with it. Sounds like she's putting that CIA experience to work. Pysop?

Barack Obama is at this very moment in Europe, trying to criminalize and imprison populist politicians through left-wing law fare. Obama finds time to defend Muslim migrant Illhan Omar but no time to mention France being burned to the ground by Muslim migrant terrorists. Odd.
It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically. Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country. Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case. Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve. In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota. The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Democrat Rep. Sara Jacobs is bragging about talking to elementary school kids after anti-ICE walkouts. Why are politicians pushing anti-police agendas on 7-year-olds in our schools?! Stop radicalizing our children! 🚨
