  • I’ve always done 20% because it is easier back when 15% was the norm and in the vast majority of cases it was less than $1 difference. You are right that there is no reason to increase the percentage when the prices are rising anyway.

    Also, basing the tip on the food cost is a stupid system in the first place. The waitress at the diner where a meal costs $10 is doing just as much work as the one at the high end restaurant that charges $50.
















  • Ocasio-Cortez was far ahead of other listed Democrats. Coming in a distant second was close ally Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The pair recently went to various states with their Fighting Oligarchy tour. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) placed third in the survey with 8%.

    Former Vice President Kamala Harris came in fourth with 6%. Following her was Pete Buttigieg with 5%, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) with 5%, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) with 4%, and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) with 2%.

    Why did they list the percentage for all of these people, but not for Bernie’s second place position?

    That is a rhetorical question.

    I was going to calculate his percentage but 26 + 26 + 22 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 2 is 98%. Did they lump Bernie in with ‘other’?
