Imagine the reaction if Nancy Pelosi said something like this. It’d be endless handwringing and “Can a woman be a mother and a congressperson?” on every major news network. Someone on Fox would openly suggest that this is why women should stay home.

Even as a practicing layman, I read that, cocked my eyebrow and said, “I’m pretty sure it does not work that way.”

The cancer stuff is fascinating... but Vicki’s meltdown at the baptism party (what did I just write?) has to be one of my most favorite RHOC moments everrrrrrr.

I love everything about this gif. layers upon layers of orange county.

“But I’ve already eaten it. TOO BAD.”

In short, MOST of your problems with a restaurant aren’t with the server. When I was one, the biggest thing I needed was teamwork and cooperation from the operations of the restaurant, and I served as the pleasant messenger of good things.

“but occasionally I like to punish.”

I’ve waited on hundreds of richardcohens in my life. This is the guy who announces at the beginning of the meal that he controls your tip, and you’d better measure up. He says it in a jokey way, so that his friends laugh - but you and he know better. He then spends the next 3 hours running you ragged. He wants a…

Why would I want to treat everyone as if they were equally good at their tasks? I like to reward, but occasionally I like to punish.

Oh, I have a hunch we would find a few of our American brethren who would cheer someone kicking and tripping folks crossing our southern border.

“He looks out for me and, if he does a good job, I look out for him.”

“a country that has a long history of people crossing their borders uninvited for what ever reason and usually ending up making life hell for native Hungarians”

This guy could not be more of a baby boomer! Ugh. They tell you over and over that if you work hard and do a good job, you will be rewarded. But every Gen Xer knows that idea is total bullshit. (Maybe Millenials know this by now too?) You can do a super job and still get stiffed or completely forgotten about. You can…

Ah yes, old well-known white man, please tell me how sexism, racism, and classism are overblown in today’s society. Surely you know.

The tip is recognition of service well-performed. It shows that I care, that I notice — that I recognize what the editor way back in the newsroom does not because he cannot. Why would I want to treat everyone as if they were equally good at their tasks? I like to reward, but occasionally I like to punish. Make reading…

I like to make a difference, not just to be a bit of a big shot or be noticed or appreciated, but to give some of what I make to those who make less.

“Sometimes I like to punish.”

What a fucking douche

Couldn’t someone also argue that a waiter who relies on tips would want you to eat and gtfo so they could move on to the next table/tip? A salaried waiter would not rush you along because they have no reason to want you to leave. Unless you are abrasive like this guy.
