Waitress Gives Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback A Tip

Last edited Mon May 4, 2015, 08:40 AM - Edit history (2)

A waitress serving Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) Saturday evening didn't ask for a tip -- instead, she left one for the governor.

No, not that kind of tip. On Brownback’s receipt, Chloe Hough crossed out the line where customers can add gratuity and wrote: “Tip the schools.”


*snip*

Hough said she had no idea Brownback and his family were planning to eat at the Topeka restaurant where she worked, Boss Hawg’s Barbeque. Coincidentally, it was her last shift at the restaurant. She had quit after working there for about a year.

“I just knew I had to say something or I would regret it,” she said.

What are the odds that you'd get such a sweet opportunity after already quitting?

That's exactly why a lot of places let employees go immediately after submitting notice.


Still, good for her for striking while the iron was hot!

someone would not take this right wing libertarian hypocrite's tip. GOOD on HER----------YEAH
Everyone shouldn't be taking his tip when he goes to a eatery.
They all should write on the check-------------tip the schools.

That should be a grand movement in Kanas to this right wing hypocrite:

TIP the SCHOOLS

She deserves an big
