 All i have to say is Wow!!! Who knew i would be so popular, my first day of 
posting.  Where do i begin...First of all, "beans," what planet are you from?  
I never met you before, never chatted with you before, never emailed you 
before...and you feel the need to insult me, patronize me, with your arrogant 
holier-than-thou attitude. You are taking a simple question like "who are the 
cheapeast overall tippers" and making a political discussion out of it, so you 
can jump on your soapbox and regail us with your infinite wisdom on everything 
(you must have been a lawyer in a previous life).  I do not appreciate that.  
I am a college graduate who also chooses to bartend, because: I love money,  I 
like a dynamic work environment, and I consider my self a people person, and 
last but not least I am very good at what i do.  Now, having said that, let me 
ask you this:  if you have 4 people sitting at your bar, a teacher, a doctor, 
a salesman, and a bartender...who do you think with give you the best tip.  
All thing being equal.  Obviously, the bartender would leave you the best tip 
right??? Followed by the salesman, and the doctor and the teacher would be 
GENERALLY the lowest tippers.  That was the only point i was trying to make!!! 
I'm serious "beans" that's all i meant.  Now someone accused me of classifying 
people, and i even read something about Nazzisim.  Where the hell did that 
come from?  Whoever you are I am very offended by that. One last thing 
"beans", i can't believe you went and looked up the word "seemingly." That's 
real funny, i would have never done that. Anyway, I hope we can have some 
interesting discussions in the future, since this is a BARTENDING Forum!!! 
Peace.
