Transcript:
All right,
I'll take care of the check.
You guys can get the tip.
Should be about a buck apiece.
And you, when I come back
I want my book.
Sorry. It's my book now.
Hey, I changed my mind.
Shoot this piece of shit, will ya?
All right, everybody cough up
some green for the little lady.
Come on, throw in a buck.
I don't tip.
- You don't tip?
- I don't believe in it.
You don't believe in tipping?
Do you know what these chicks make?
They make shit.
If she don't make enough money,
she can quit.
I don't even know a fuckin' Jew
who'd have the balls to say that.
Let me get this straight.
You don't ever tip, huh?
I don't tip because
society says I have to.
If they really put forth the effort,
I'll give 'em somethin' extra.
But this tipping automatically,
it's for the birds.
As far as I'm concerned,
they're just doin' their job.
- This girl was nice.
- She was okay.
- She wasn't anything special.
- What's special?
Take you in the back
and suck your dick?
I'd go over 12% for that.
I ordered coffee, all right?
She's only filled my cup three times.
I want it filled six times.
Six times? Well, what if
she's too fuckin' busy?
The words "too fuckin' busy"
shouldn't be in a waitress's vocabulary.
Excuse me, Mr. Pink,
but the last fuckin' thing you need's...
another cup of coffee.
These ladies aren't starvin' to death.
They make minimum wage.
I used to work minimum wage,
and when I did...
I wasn't lucky enough to have a job
that society deemed tip-worthy.
You don't care they're
countin' on your tips to live?
You know what this is?
The world's smallest violin,
playin' just for the waitresses.
You don't have any idea
what you're talkin' about.
These people bust their ass.
This is a hard job.
So's working at McDonald's,
but you don't feel the need to tip them.
They're servin' you food,
but society says...
"Don't tip these guys over here,
but tip these guys." That's bullshit.
Waitressing is
the number-one occupation...
for female non-college graduates
in this country.
It's the one job basically
any woman can get and make a living on.
The reason is
because of their tips.
Fuck all that.
I'm very sorry the government
taxes their tips.
That's fucked up.
That ain't my fault.
It would appear that waitresses
are one of the many groups...
the government fucks in the ass
on a regular basis.
Show me a paper that says the government
shouldn't do that, I'll sign it.
I'll vote for it.
But what I won't do is play ball.
This non-college bullshit, I got two
words for that: Learn to fuckin' type.
If you're expectin' me to help out with
the rent, you're in for a big surprise.
He's convinced me.
Give me my dollar back.
Hey. Leave the dollars there.
All right, ramblers,
let's get ramblin'.
Wait a minute.
Who didn't throw in?
- Mr. Pink.
- Mr. Pink?
- Why not?
- He don't tip.
He don't tip?
- You don't tip?
- He don't believe in it.
Shut up. What do you mean,
you don't believe in it?
Cough up a buck, you cheap bastard.
I paid for your goddamn breakfast.
Since you bought breakfast, I'll put in.
But normally I would never do this.
Never mind what you
normally would do.
Just cough in your goddamn buck
like everybody else. Thank you.
