Maybe Hillary thought she shouldn't tip this waitress because then you would have to pay taxes on it....NOT!!!!! I am sad that this woman is having to work 3 jobs, but I am proud of her for doing so and not relying on welfare. If it had been me and the meal was on the house I would have given the server a tip for sure. Personally I do not believe that tips should be counted as income at all, they are a gift to the server and should not be counted as income. This waitress should look into Ron Paul, he believes in our Constitution and believes we hard working Individuals should be able to keep the fruits of our Labor, and that is the truth.

The Clinton camp is reading this story and they still didn't give this waitress a tip!?! No wonder this waitress is working three jobs! Clinton is too busy trying to hand out political favors that she forgets to give a little cash to the people who actually earn it. This would not be a big deal if this were simply an oversight that was quickly corrected, but the best the Clinton camp can muster is that "the meal was on the house". The Clinton camp derided Bush 41 for being surprised at the workings of the grocery store scanner. Failing to leave a tip for a diner waitress is a bigger faux paus, if you ask me.

Isn't being graced with the presence of a Clinton gratuitous enough? It’s something even more valuable than a tip, which the waitress might waste on feeding her children or something. Not only that, but Hillary knows that she shouldn’t need tips anyway, if there were just more socialism, which she promises to take the country into after the women elect her based on the sole fact that she’s a woman being attacked by the men of her own party.

Perhaps socialist Hillary thought that since the meal was "on the house", so was the gratuity and all of it should be paid for by the Federal government with our taxes.

The fact that the meal was ‘on the house’ is irrelevant. I never tip the customary percentage. If I get good service I leave a good tip. If I get lousy service I leave a lousy tip. I have tipped anywhere from a penny to $20 for a $20 meal. I believe in getting what you deserve, nothing more nothing less. Waiting tables with a lot of reporters around must have been rough. The fact that Clinton failed to leave a tip shows how little regard she actually has for working people. The fact that “...nobody got a tip that day,” is a fair indicator that it wasn’t an accident, it’s just how her people think. .... This lady is working 12 hour days and Clinton doesn’t leave a tip? The classic, “let ‘em eat cake” attitude if ever there was one.

You ALWAYS tip on a complementary meal! She doesn't own the restaurant. NO EXCUSE!

Leaving tips only encourages employers to pay staff slave wages. Having said that, I always leave a tip because I feel sorry for anyone who is in a low-paid job...I have worked as a waitress in the past and the tips were a lot more than my hourly rate.

She's had a silver spoon so long in that big mouth that she does not understand. Did she think she was in Europe with the V.A.T? What a dope! She will tax the hell out of us though! Bravo Chillery!

Liberals always think the gov't should take care of everything. So it does not surprise me . Hillary only takes, she doesn't give. watch your wallets middle class.

I used to be a 0% - 10% tipper till my daughter worked as a waitress and explained to me that wait staff are taxed as tho they were tipped 17%.

So 20% should be the standard tip.

Recently we dined together with a 2 for 1 coupon. I then learned that the tip should be based not on the actual cost to the customer, but rather on the cost of the serving. Thus I should tip based on the value of the meal without the 2 for 1 coupon.

I was quite surprised when my daughter informed me most people actually do tip the higher amount.

Hill's campaign needs a money bag man to follow in the wake of these complemtary dines to avoid alienting all that she touches.

--Maybe Hillary thought she shouldn't tip this waitress because then you would have to pay taxes on it....NOT!!!!!--

Tess? Are you saying you don't think waitresses and waiter's etc have to pay taxes on tips?

If you are saying that you are WRONG, FYI.

Serfs don't get tips. The little people don't get tips. Minimum wage is plenty enough. Pee-ons don't get tips. The "help" don't get tips. The Queen is entitled to free everything. Someone else will tip her. Tips are for suckers. Hillary is above leaving a tip, get used to it.

problem with all politicians, they have so much money they are out of touch with real life. Its ashame.

The wage for servers has not been raised in over a decade. IT IS STILL $2.13 an hour, EVERY SINGLE PENNY OF WHICH goes towards taxes, and then the server usually owes money at the end of the year because the wage was not nearly enough to pay the taxes. Clearly there is some lobbying by someone keeping this wage so ridiculously low. I am absolutely sickened that Hillary did not leave a tip, THEN proceeded to use this woman like a cheap prostitute any way she wanted for her own benefit. What makes me most disgusted of all, and which will actually bring me to the polls to vote against her for WHOEVER else is available is this: How could someone SO out of touch with appropriate behavior run this country properly? I've waited tables for 14 years and can count on one hand how many times I have been left absolutely nothing. Most Americans know it is downright shameful to leave nothing. After so many years and so many hundreds of thousands of tables, I believe it is unequivocably true that a persons character can be judged by the tip they leave. If I give someone poor service - I expect a poor tip and am fine with that. But nothing? From the woman who wants to run this country? She most likely did not fail to tip because she is cruel, but she undoubtedly did fail to tip because she's completely selfish and out of touch with reality. Thanks Hillary, for showing your colors so clearly that I no longer have to fret over who to vote for.

Trivial issues that probably are false!!! This is exactly how we should judge who should be the next leader of the free world. Keep it up media, the people really appreciate it. Think of the entourage with Clinton or any presidential candidate. What a BS story that even if true, has no bearing on the job one would do as president. Have'nt we suffered enough in this country by letting triviality trump competence. No more, and the media should be leading the charge. Instead, they are brewing up non stories about half truths so Limbaugh will be happy with them, even though he never will.

You know what they say about people who don't tip, or only tip 10%...
they're just %$&^$%&%.

So, leftists leave no tips but tax working waitresses as if their tips were 17%.

Leftists tax you for money you don't have.

And abc.news convinces most people to vote for the democRATic party.

Modern media is the opiate of the ill informed.

Hillary just forgot to tip. If she thought of it she would have tipped. But she was absorbed with HER campaign. She was absorbed with the adulation. She doesn't believe she has any obligation to anyone but herself. Just ask those who worked for her in the White House or anywhere else. She is self-centered. It's a personality trait. She has done nothing in her 60 years of life that qualifies her for the preidendcy, but she believes she is owed it. She will now try to justify that being First Lady is enough qualification. Her leadership in the federal Healthcare debacle and Arkansas Education program program is now all forgotten. She has nothing in her past to show that she is qualified for the job as president. She is owed it. Anita Esterday and all the rest of you should know that Hillary believes "it's all about her". She will take from others to give to you but she owes no one anything. Do we want that type of person to become our president.

WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY THINK THEY DESERVE A TIP FROM EACH PATRON? I ALWAYS TIP WHEN SOMEONE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ORDINARY. BUT IF YOU ARE NOT FRIENDLY, THE FOOD IS COLD AND THE PLACE IS NOT CLEAN WHY SHOULD I TIP, EXECPT TIP EVERYONE OFF I KNOW ABOUT THE LOUSY SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE.

Maybe y'all are making a bit too much of this? Of course there should have been a tip -- and I'm not going to go into how much it should be, good service vs. exceptional service vs. bad service -- that's irrelevant. But y'all are acting like she went out to eat after a day of work and decided not to leave a tip. In reality, it was a meal that was part of her campaign, with other local politicos, and she was working the room -- that's what politicians do (from both sides). Her staff obviously should have done better -- they are at fault, no doubt about it. But you can't find me a state senate or house campaign candidate who doesn't have a staffer who really is in charge of this stuff -- it's too hard, too busy, too crazy in a political situation for the candidate him- or herself to remember things like this. Again, a tip should have been given -- but to read anything into it and make silly comments about socialism or how Hillary thinks about people is a bit much.

My crowd always tips not less than 20%, plus another buck or two per person and more for premium service. In many cases, this cash goes for more than the sweet smile, being distributed to bus boys, dish washers, floor sweepers... And she wants to control the country's purse strings. Tells me all I need to know. The key concept is a 'failure' of consideration.

Hey - When all your concerned about is taking over the world with your evil minions who has time to worry about tipping! This is just something getting in her way to her ultimate goal - POWER! A real genuine individual is always thinks of others - this is the golden rule by which we live. For those of you who make excuses for Hillary by saying she is sooo busy then you miss the point totally! When your a public servant its your JOB to think of others. Hillary needs to go back and learn this valuable rule of life!

Well according to other sources she left a $100 dollar tip, so maybe one of the other waitresses or the manager pocketed it.

Wow, thanks to a great one-sided story! Does anyone think the news will follow up with an apology to Clinton if she can prove she left a tip? It was a large party and some sort of management would have approved Clinton's free meal, maybe the rest of the staffers who paid for the rest of it included a tip that was supposed to be handed out to all involved? It's too confusing now-adays with the tipping. Half the restaurants I go in to it's unclear whether you tip or not. Maybe someone else actually brought the meal to Clinton and this lady only brought her a glass of water before Hillary started chatting her up. Everyones got to complain about something!

Clinton camp has reported they left a >60% tip.

Regardless of whether it is a Dem or Rep, is there some conflict of interest in leaving an exorbitant tip at the same place that you are handing out caucus cards? There must be some rules about that sort of thing.

It may have been more appropriate if Hillary had visited a Waffle House. The woman is an elitist, condescending, self-absorbed know-it-all. As for Obama, he is a another version of "lip Biting Bill" who feels our pain and promises solutions to every ailment under the sun. He should know that in the real world, the president doesn't possess some mystical powers that turns him into Mary Poppins. He has no practical leadership experience. Like Hillary, he lacks the backbone and the experience needed to lead this country in the dangerous times we live in. Frankly, he and all of his liberal Dem counterparts lack a backbone; I'm surprised that he and his fellow liberal Dems can walk upright.

This woman sounds like just another publicity leach trying to milk her 5 seconds of fame for way more than it's worth. Her hours were reduced for appearing in a picture with a presidential candidate?!? Give me a break! If that is actually the case (which I doubt it is), she should look into legal action against the management for discrimination (although I've never heard of discrimination based on being in a picture with an ex-first lady). Whether or not you support Clinton, you HAVE to admit that this is a transparent case of some backwoods hick trying to cash in on one iota of publicity.

TIPS SHOULDNT BE COUNTED AS INCOME??? You got to be kidding me? Wait a minute. First of all, she is below the poverty line as it is, so she pays zero taxes or a pittance. Second of all, her reported income is already underreported, and IRS allows them to only claim 8% or whatever.... Do you think she reports the cash tips? Third, they are paid $2 an hour by their employer... So by your logic, poor little waitress should get tips tax free, but because I have a real job *i use that loosely*, where my wages come 100% from the employer I must shoulder the countries tax burden even more than what little "servers" contribute to the tax rolls?

Well okay, I'll give you your free tip income when you apologist libs say I can have my stock sales capital gains tax free.

Well look on the bright side. If that waitress had been from Chinatown, not only would she have been stiffed but she would have had to contribute $2,000 to Hillary's campaign.

And for those who don't click on the Romney link, when he had no wallet after getting a cup of coffee...

"I've only got three [dollars] in this pocket. I left my wallet in the car," Romney said before an aide approached. "Here comes Will … look at this he's gonna give me a five. Thanks."

So - five (or eight?) bucks for coffee for Republicans, free loose meat and no tip for Democrats.

She wants to give illegal aliens and terrorists state driver licenses...and her staff is so dense they can't tip a mother working several jobs at minimum wage...hmmm...not presidential material to me.

"Clinton camp has reported they left a 60% tip."

I can verify that, 60% of nothing is still nothing.

Hillary wasn't looking at the waitress as a human being, she was a potential sound bite, nothing more, nothing less. Bill Clinton in a dress.

My son worked at the Benson Hotel in DT Portland Oregon during one of the Clinton stays during his presidency. He worked in the kitchen and witnessed (overheard) Hilary "tearing a new one" out of the chef on duty. She was complaining about the prices of room service! Attacking him was outrageous... he had nothing to do with setting the prices. Obviously she has problems controlling her anger. I don't think this is a small issue, because it reveals her true nature. Based on this and other incidents, I think her attitude towards all the "regular" people is that she is our superior. She lacks the true compassion she always professes to have. Do we want this cold-hearted, power-hungry person running the country? No way.

In fairness to Clinton, the meal was on the house? So let me get this straight, the Clinton campaign DIDN'T pay anything and DIDN'T pay a tip. Talk about Clinton wanting both sides of an issue.

Btw, wait staff are not taxed as if they get 17% in tips. Check the damn IRS regulations.

So Hillary told the waitress "I am proud of you?????" How patronizing is that? I would have gone through the roof if I were that waitress. I don't want my politicians to pat me on the head and tell me how proud they are of me, or what a good girl I am. Ohh, that steams me.

According to Drudgereport: **Clinton campaign official: 'The campaign spent $157 and left a $100 tip at the Maid-Rite Restaurant'

If that is true that Hillary left a $100 tip on a $157 check it is indicative that she is either:
1. into wasteful spending
2. attempting to influence people in her favor with egregious amounts of cash
3. misusing campaing funds
4. misusing taxpayer's dollars (if applicable)
5. all of the above

Regardless, anyone who gives $100 on a $157 check is someone who shows poor judgement. I'd hate to see what she does with American taxpayer's money if this is indicative of her spending habits! Cheers, vox populi

Why would she tip. This is the women who tried to claim old rotten underwear that she gave to charity. Also tried to rob the whitehouse on the way out the door stealing furniture and art that belonged to the people then forced to return them. Also married to the man who was found to be the greatest illegal campaign fund holder of all time. And married to the only person running for office (when Govenor) who was sued for blocking black people from voting.

The meal was complimentary? This is the official response? Tells me not tipping was no accident. Why not say, "Oops, oversight on our part. We'll send her a check"? You'd think that knowing they'd be stopping at restaurant after restaurant on the campaign tour, there'd be someone in charge of making sure these things get done. I've known and worked for the rich. They really don't look at working folks as actual people, just entities in their service. If I were a millionaire political candidate, I wouldn't accept complimentary meals or anything else. I'm a poor person. I rarely go out to eat, but I always leave 20% when I do. I've been given restaurant certificates as gifts. It would never occur to me that a free meal means I don't need to leave a tip.

first read on msnbc has an updated account of what happened.

"The manager of the of the restaurant tells First Read the Clinton campaign did, in fact, tip. "They paid their bill, and they left a tip," said Brad Crawford, manager of the Maid Rite restaurant in Toledo, Iowa. "Everybody was satisfied. No question about it."

Just a FUD bashing story

I thought it was only interns that got stiffed by the Clintons.
Is old Barnacle Bill now stiffing the waitresses?
Maybe he thought the secret service guy would cover the tips. I mean the guy deserves the benefit of the doubt, surely.
Ohhhhh,it was Hillary Clinton. Well all I can say about that is. . . . .
hmmmm.

In general, FEMALES are lousy (cheap) when it comes to tipping.. ask anyone in a service industry.

I always start at 20% and go from there; cutting it down if the service was weak, or even adding a bit if the service was exceptional.

Furthermore, when someone else is picking up the tab, if I don't think they tipped enough I'll add my own tip.

There was NO excuse (except Clinton is a woman) for stiffing the poor waitress.

Pure genius. Clinton just scooped up the African American vote in the single most act of cunning in the entire campaign.

Amazingly thick that Hillary. This woman tells her about how she is working three jobs, and her children are working as soon at it is legal for them to work. All she can do is take a free meal, say is how proud she is of her and give her an autographed picture of herself. She should walk a mile in that woman's shoes. What arrogance to think she is qualified to be president.

"Despite everything, Esterday did take Clinton's pitch to heart: she's still deciding whether to support Clinton or Obama."

This says it all.

Three-dollar-a-gallon gas and twenty-million illegal aliens are destroying this country, and you're worrying about whether some empty pantsuit left a tip at a diner? Jeez!...

Much like the "..but I didn't inhale" comment by Bill was downplayed in the '92 campaign, but in reality was a harbinger of things to come, this little incident is indicative of the much larger issues of Hillary's innate elitism and overweening focus on the MoveOn.org (ie, limousine liberal) wing of the party.

The campaign left a $100 tip on a $157 bill.

How about printing a retraction, ABC? And, how about a follow-up to find out why the manager didn't share that detail with anyone until now?

Romney realized he didn't have the cash and borrowed some from a staffer. HE PAID IMMEDIATELY. The same can't be said for Clinton. Nice left-biased omission there...

If the waitress were a ranking official of a union, let's say, the "Waiters of American Union", and therefore could endorse Hillary and promise her campaign votes and money, I am sure that Hillary would have found a way to reward the waitress. As it stands, Hillary is out of touch with everyday working people who are not a member of a group. Liberals use "bread" as political tool. Those who belong to the "group" get the bread. Those who are not in the "group" have the bread taken away.

Lynn,

Okay, so now they OVER-tipped, which has another connotation in this context...

if they're spend-thrift on a campaign, how do you think they'll handle our tax money?

Poor HC not leaving a tip. I even leave a tip when the bill is only 10 by leaving a buck for each person. So sometimes a 10 check, the tip would be $4. I had to laugh when I saw she was leaving VOTE FOR ME Cards. Had lots of those, but not a dime for a tip. Sad. I have an Uncle that doesn't leave anything for a tip, but then he is just cheap.. Now in my area, I know the Min wage for any server is $2.13 an hour. I helped at a local comedy club for a few weeks until the onwer fired me for allowing a table to WALk with out paying. Didn't know they had not until I went to get their money then zip they were gone without paying, so I know what a server makes. I had to use all my tips that night to pay for this table.(just found out Lisa, person's first name, was fired by the new owners of a different club she was part owner of due to stuff like this) So HC and her party should be taken to task on not leaving a tip. She can claim she left $100 for a tip, but I don't trust their recall in the least. HUH! Recall, didn't for months she couldn't recall where the travel office papers were, then OH here they are on my desk, gee where these come from.. Recall this HC, you wont be the next Pres. I would rather vote for the Breck Lady then HC.

The IRS assumes the waitress received a 10% tip on the sales ticket total. Therefore the wait staff was taxed despite the FACT they received no remuneration!
Former Pres Clinton signed that one in.

But why are millionaires getting a free lunch from a small business? I guess they've been living off public money for so long that they actually think this is the way eveybody does it.

I hate HillBilly as much or more than the average right thinking American, but this is a tempest in a tip jar. Get it? Tip Jar instead of Teapot. Thanks.

I can only imagine how Hillary would leave a tip. She would probably go to someone else in the diner that looks like they have more money than the waitress and then take their wallet, remove half of their money then redistribute it to the rest of the diner staff depending on their status. Why should she pay it when there are plenty of willing idiots who want their money taken from them?

This is absurd, if the food is bad you dont eat it and then leave without giving a tip, you talk to the manager tell them about the situation and then leave! If you eat the food you tip, its called common courtesy. As for the Hillary Express what else do you expect. When is the last time a President got in his car drove down Interstate 80 to get the Command Climate of his citizens...Not in a long long time, dont blame the politicans for this, blame youreself for allowing it to happen, and allowing our country to slip into a Socialist regime that will ensue if you elect Queen Hillary Clinton.

No one has mentioned Rush Limbaugh yet. He mentioned this on his show already today.

Ok, I despise Hillary with every bone in my body, but even I can see this is a stupid story. Sure, she is part of an elitist, upper class, and that sucks, but you know what? That's life. I know how it works, like it or not. Point is, she has "people" to take care of that stuff, so if a tip wasn't left, Hillary isn't to blame. However, she IS to blame for the condescending pat on the head remark "I'm proud of you!". Well, whoopdiefreakindo. We don't need Hillary to be "proud" of us, we need her to roll up her sleeves and actually do something to improve the poverty status in this country, not contribute to it.

Hmmm...so the story reported firsthand by that right-wing standard-bearer NPR, as related by the waitress who served Clinton, is now incorrect on every count? ("the campaign paid $100 on a $157 bill", for a meal which was previously identified as 'on the house' and no one was tipped!!!)

I guess Ms Esterday is so flush with cash that the largest tip in the history of Toledo Iowa went unnoticed by her.

That vast right-wing conspiracy again.

Obvious attack by the MSM which is always quick to point out Hillary's flaws. I am still confused because the end of story mentions that a $100 tip was left and the manager failed to split it with the staff.

Hillary is another in the long line of Cartoon Characters seeking your vote. She has zero interest in the waitress. Can't have a clue about a working lady busting it on three jobs. Hillary is "proud of her"? Well, well now how patronizing. It's not so much about the tip as it is that all these Cartoon Clowns are a bunch grubbing for your favour of a vote. Scumbags all.

The headline before was "Clinton Stiffs Waitress," and I'm pretty sure they decided to change it because they thought what I did... that the story was about Bill, not Hillary (and that it meant something different.)
I would have left it, but it's a judgment call I guess.

Ready the update people a tip was left, $100.00 to be split with the waitresses........Get a damn clue, most of you are about as smart as Eloise.

By the way ABC, Hillary deserves more than a small update; if your lazy reporter had ask she would have found the truth, what a dumbbell, but what can else would you expect from ABC News.

It's Bush's fault.

I saw the update - looks like the manager grabbed the tip for himself! LOL The rat said "it might have not been disbursed properly."

I hope the owner or manager of that Maid-Rite deals with the manager that attracted so much bad attention to the place!

Eloise Harper is the villian here, she should have got the story right before runing with it, she is probably a Bush lover.

$100.00 is a pretty damn good tip, Eloise you deserve 0 for your bogus story.

OK Right wing haters:

Since the update at the end of the article states that ABC news *confirmed* with the manager of the restaurant that indeed a $100 tip was left by Clinton's campaign, how about an apology?

Can't do it, right?

Well I know someone else who can't ever admit they've done something wrong.

I'll give you a hint; his initials are GWB.

Lay off Hillary will you? I'm sure if she knew the tipping thing would be an issue, she would have left a BIG tip.

"In fairness to Clinton, the article also notes that the meal was on the house."

I was raised better than Ms. Clinton, I guess. I learned that getting your meal free means that you pass on the generosity and leave AN EVEN BIGGER TIP than you normally would have.

It also seems Ms. Clinton tried to take care of the tip after the bad publicity broke. But as Drudge points out, being a tight-wad is par for the course for the would-be female President.

Hillary is a snob and liar. I think she believes that people should just be happy that she looked at them and that's enough of a reward for being in her presence.

That is why I am very proud to have our current president in the office. He understands the needs of the common American. He has been there. No silver spoon for him.

The Clinton Campaign official is a liar! I feel sorry for this poor waitress because when another femail gets in the crosshairs of Hillary then she is doomed to attacks by the Clinton mafia.

Do you really want the 2 family rule of America to continue? Bush + Clinton + Bush= 20 years. That's long enough.

Have the Clintonistas stated WHEN they paid the bill?

This was NPR's story, not ABC's. It's hard to believe NPR would characterize $257 laid out for a meal at an Iowa diner as 'free' , unless their left-slanting reportage is far worse than anyone realized..

Hillary will not be president. Democrats are way out of touch, and if it weren't for the Iraq war, Republicans wouldn't have a problem keeping power. No to socialism, the cancer of the human spirit.

Karl, All of this Balderdash posted here seems familiar. As in the game BEANBAG, yes-many people were killed.

Most of our politicians (especially their staffs) have a feeling of entitlement. In a previous profession, I worked at an embassy and was responsible for coordinating logistics for the personal staff, etc. Congressional delegations (from both sides of the aisle) were notorious for charging movies and room service and then leaving the country without paying. In one particular instance a hotel was left with several hundred dollars worth of food and adult movie charges to a room. Obviously the hotel wanted payment; however, I could not use the government funds to pay for those items. Especially problematic because the person who had made those charges had already made travel claims for the meals. In effect, they were double dipping against the government. That particular instance was from a GOP CODEL. They just felt they were entitled and didn't give a second thought to the fact that somebody would have to pay for that. To be fair and balanced - Dem visits had their fair share of that. I just mentioned that particular case because it had the movie charges and it took me 6 months to get the hotel reimbursed.

Most people on here are screeching Hillary-Haters. Am I the only one who read the fine print: The deli manager Brad So-n-So ADMITTED that Hillary Clinton's team left a tip (which they said was $100) but that it "might not have been disbursed properly."

But whatever, don't let the facts stop you from how you feel. Feelings are more "Truthy" aren't they. Hate away!

Arturo, you said that Hillary needs a "money bag man" following around to hand out tips. But you don't seem to understand. There already is a money bag man, but he was in the kitchen at the time, seeing if there were any Chinese busboys and dishwashers who wanted to give $2300 donations to the campaign!

Hillary,

Invest in America
Tip a Waitress

Wait a sec... Clinton's campaign asserted that a $100 tip WAS left for the staff, which restaurant management then confirmed. I am a republican and no Clinton fan myself, but it appears some of the blogs here are quick to politicize, sensationalize and criticize for a situation where Hillary may have very well done the right thing. We shouldn't be so quick to believe hear-say. As a matter of fact, I would say the restaurant management that failed to distribute the tip properly in this case should be the ones being scrutinized. Just because Hillary is trying to win political votes does not mean she has to give hand-outs to every poor person she comes in contact with. Has anyone thought that maybe this woman provided no service to Hillary and therefore was not eligible for a tip?
