That is a different context.
The discussion of tips that anyone can over hear and may be offended or upset 
about has been a long standing reason to dismiss an employee at the restaurant 
I have worked at for 13 years.  (one server getting a $100 tip on a $300 check 
or what the bartenders are taking home $xxx from their tip jar or any one of 
the customers being discussed as a bad tipper that, agian could be overheard 
by another that finds it rude and inappropriate.)
I look at this forum as a means of information and not the newest "I hate"  If 
you can't take the wrath of criticism that may follow, then don't post it.
It isnt to foster such bad summations of 'all teachers are bad tippers -- so 
beware the next time one comes in an sits at your bar'.  I think some of the 
advice given above was good.  Learn something new.  Look at it differently.  
Get a new job.  Re-examine if your saltiness may be showing through.  What was 
offensive about that?  Other than those who want to dissect each and every 
word for the sake of arguement.  What service is that?
Maybe I am taking it personally because of my two best friends teach for a 
living and don't fit that mold?
Look, now I'm ranting.
