Paul Ryan Refuses to Tip Elderly Black Waiter

[DainBramaged]

Rep. Paul Ryan refused to tip an elderly waiter today at a Washington-area soul food restaurant.

According to witnesses at Auntie Ruth's Bistro in Northeast D.C., Ryan stiffed his server on the grounds of "personal austerity" and proceeded to tell the 72-year-old man to "get a real job."
The situation started when the Wisconsin Republican showed up with 15 of his staffers to have a two-hour working meeting at the restaurant. Although he didn't have a reservation and no one called ahead, the staff at Auntie Ruth's worked hard to accommodate his request.

James Anderson, who's been waiting tables at the restaurant for 20 years, skipped his lunch break to serve the congressman and his entourage.

After hours of backbreaking work, the congressional staff returned to their offices and Congressman Ryan stayed behind to put the bill on his government credit card.
When Ryan attempted to leave the premises without paying any tip at all, Anderson politely asked Ryan if he was satisfied with the service.

"Listen, I was satisfied with the service," Ryan explained, "but I'm not paying you a cent. You know why? Because you're a taker. I've already paid for my meal. I've spent the money I'm legally obligated to spend - and here you are begging for more

1. For the folks that do not know: The BorowitzReport, The Onion, and The Currant are SATIRE

2. Aw man, I was about to hit the roof.

Even that snake couldn't stoop that low. I hope.

3. This kind of shit does not belong in GD, IMO. Why? It's not true and it is not funny.

It's not even satire. It's just a dumbass, big fat lie by a really lousy website that can't do what the ONION does when the ONION does it badly.

I have never seen a single "bit" from the Daily Currant that didn't suck hugely. It's just LOUSY. Not good. Not amusing. DUMB--and that's the worst crime of all.

I can think Paul Ryan is a major asshole without someone telling falsehoods about him.

10. Gotta agree with you on that one. (n/t)

4. You can't tell alleged satire from the news.

Steve Allen said the news is so absurd that it looks like satire.
He said that in the 1960s.


Yeah I'm old...get off my lawn, or better yet...pull weeds!!

5. Fuck Paul Ryan

6. don't do stuff like this.

13. Right, I'll listen to you straught away

7. This even isn't good satire.

This is almost as silly as the guy who claimed he saw a drunk Ryan deck a woman in a Cape Cod restaurant last summer.

14. We must do something about this immediately, harrumph

[Jenoch]

8. I agree with those who

have said this isn't funny. It isn't clever and it didn't take an ounce of talent or imagination to come up with this drivel.

[DainBramaged]

12. Well I'll remember to read less........

[Nye Bevan]

9. Wow. You just don't fully appreciate the Onion until you see pathetic efforts like this

from its wannabe competitors.

It's amazing just how pathetically unfunny the Daily Currant is.

11. Agree

They are trying way too hard with this piece and it falls flat. The Onion is much more clever at the way they get the same kind of point across.
