NOT MY PROBLEM if someone cant get a job or earn a decent living. I work hard for my money & will TIP or NOT what I feel is appropriate. If I can afford $400-$600 dinners, it is because I am SUCCESFULL at what I do. And that doesnt mean throwing money away to someone who doesnt neccesarily deserve or earn it.
