This post isn't especially hippie-ish. I was talking with the Handsome Hippie Husband this morning on the subject of tipping and he said, "you should blog about this." So I am. Because I am empress of this particular web page and I can. (Heeheehee. I have been wanting to declare myself empress of something for a VERY long time!)
We, here at the Hippie Household, pay our bills (theoretically speaking) with money made from tips.
This, this, this, this, this!!!!
Or, as we say in our family, if you can't afford to tip well, why the heck are you going out to eat at a sit-down restaurant? Hie your cheap-arse to McDonald's.

Hey Thalassa, thanks for reblogging this – it’s an excellent post. I put this link over at LHM, but wanted to share it here too: http://front.moveon.org/watch-this-powerful-230-and-youll-never-look-at-restaurant-workers-the-same-way-ever-again/#.T_s1eXD7YMQ.facebook
it’s a great quick video on worker exploitation in the restaurant industry.

Thanks for sharing this and I’m very much in agreement with these tips about tipping! Husband and I always tip generously- especially for breakfast and lunch when the prices are cheaper, but the server is still doing the same amount of work.
