This is a fresh new perspective? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

I find it hilarious and pathetic when people turn their noses up at service industry workers and consider them lesser or stupid simply because it happens to be their job to provide a direct service to their customers. If every waiter quit tomorrow who would get you a fork? The jobs have to get done by somebody. There's no reason to rub someone's nose in shit and act all superior just because they serve you food. I sit in a cubicle and stare at a computer screen all day. Does this make me a better person than a waiter or a sales clerk? Fuck, no! Most of us have stupid jobs. If you feel the need to take a power trip over anyone who serves you to make yourself feel better, then you're a sad, little person.

And I do not believe for one second that you tip well, not after that screed.
