| 2004-07-26 |
| Via FARK. Man of the people, indeed... (Non-)Tipper's Name: John Kerry Restaurant: Chart House Where it happened: Alexandria, VA Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $262.60 / $0.00 / 0% What happened: June 5, 04 Kerry, his wife, 4 unknown suits - We were happy to seat them in a semi-private area and gave them the same excellent service as we would give anyone - then got stiffed! |

| #12 Ha! From his rep up here, they were lucky. He usually stiffs you on the tab too. |

| #10 Bet that waiter would have felt differently had he only known that JfK served in Vietnam and possesses three Purple Heart Medals. Someone should tell him that 'cause Kerry is much too modest to mention such things. |

| #9 Can't believe the waiter/waitress let them leave without tipping...but then there was that waiter who chased the Sopranos out into the parking lot for a bad tip and got whacked! |

| #8 I told this twit I was going to raise the minimal wage to 17 bucks an hour, what else does he want? I'm working on free car insurance now! Geez cut me a little slack. |

| #7 I can understand the skepticism, too true & Bulldog, but I've heard & seen far, far too many of these Kerry stories to believe otherwise. I'd lay $20 on this story being true. |

| #6 No real surprises here. After all, the whole point of liberalism is to use our tax dollars to pay for their pet causes. When it comes to their own money, liberals are stingier than conservatives - after all, they supported initiatives to have other people pay to take care of the bill - they gave at the office, in a metaphorical kind of way. |

| #5 I bet Kerry feels stiffed that the resturant didn't give him a tip for simply being in the glow of his (Kerry's) personal presence...... |

| #4 Hopefully someone will try to verify this (local hack? could be a big story...). But for the time being, I'm with you being sceptical about this, too true. |

| #3 Assuming, of course, that this anonymous entry online actually happened, rather than being a dirty trick .... No way to tell. (And no, I can't stand Kerry. I just think it's important to keep track of what we know vs. what is fun to think ....) |

| #2 John's all-purpose reply (to be read in a 'how dare you question me' tone): (Kerry) Well, I guess you just don't know how it works around here. (/Kerry) |
