Mike Pence Is A Crappy Tipper, Allegedly!

By Frances Langum — December 30, 2020

The pandemic has required changes for nearly all of us. Most of us have not eaten in a restaurant since March.

But Mike Pence is ON VACATION in Vail, Colorado, and had lunch at the Coyote Cafe. Two chicken bacon and avocado sandwiches, two hot chocolates, and ginger ale.

And he left just over 10% as a tip. During a pandemic. Guess he's not running for office ever again? A blogger can hope.

A Twitter waiter left the literal receipt.

Here’s the character of these people.

A friend’s friend works at a restaurant that served @Mike_Pence at lunch today.

He tipped $5 on $45 bill.

This is who these people are. Remember that, always. pic.twitter.com/T1dILFzF2N

Responses were nearly universal.

He’s willing to pay 30 bucks for two sandwiches but tip only 10% during a pandemic? I give a fiver to delivery guys & I’m not working. This stinks.

Last time I ate inside a restaurant was March. I've since, and continue to do curbside pick up or quickly run in and pick up my order (w/ an immediate shower and clothes in the laundry) and I still tip 18%. This is disgraceful and disgusting.

All the people trying to stretch the numbers, pretax, post-tax, takeout, counter services, it doesn't matter.

The point is, if you have money (he does) and you're in bad times (we are), the correct answer to "How much do I tip?", is "Too much".

Trump would have stiffed them on the tip.
