Do you go out much? Most people treat their servers well regardless of political affiliation. My home town is majority conservative and are all very respectful when eating out.
I worked a career in an almost exclusively conservative line of work after being raised in the red south. I base my assertion on many, many years of close observation, but I admit this is only anecdotal evidence. I'm glad to hear your experience is different.
Would you say your local conservatives also tip well, or do they tip like the vile, sub-human pieces of shit I have observed?
I was a server for years and I don’t know what political views my customers had directly, but my absolute favorite people to serve were tradesmen with their families (at least locally, tradesmen are often assumed to be conservative). They tended to be pretty relaxed and tip well. Those are historically union jobs, and I don’t know if the people working them still vote in favor of worker solidarity, but they still culturally support it, ime.
My least favorite people were also people who are often assumed to be conservative, for what it’s worth: families on their way home from church. They were nitpicky, required a lot of attention, and tipped like shit, plus they often tried to get things comped off their bills by complaining about something on their way out.
I think the key difference is that I grew up in the North. I can't speak on what everyone did but my conservative friends and any conservative relatives of my friend group were acceptable if not very generous with their tip. In any case, I know this is how politics goes but generalizing your ideological opposition as the scum of the earth isn't terribly productive or insightful. However, the people you grew up around sound pretty bad and your criticisms of them are much more justified.
I'm drag's experience, conservatives tip the best. America is falling into fascism, and Americans are the ones who leave massive tips. Civilized countries with leftist labour laws don't have as much tipping, if any.
Charity is something capitalists invented to get out of paying taxes.
Ssshhhh! Stop contradicting their overwhelming bias!
Church people are notorious for being the worst patrons.
