“They cut off my cell phone — just because I didn’t pay my bill!” continued

Any talk show host will tell you:

On a slow day, ask listeners to call in about one topic — tipping — and you’ll have enough calls for your whole program, every time.

In response to my earlier “keep the change” post about tipping and bill paying and so forth, a reader writes:

“There’s a reason Toronto waitstaff fight each other to take Carabana off; blacks from the US are lousy tippers.”

James Fulford sends in a 2005 post about ethnic tipping stats:

This is a fascinating example of “stereotype accuracy, ” black-on-black racism, and unregulated human interaction. 

I haven’t found the “all because I didn’t pay my bill” tv commercial yet, but this will kinda do:

It all must be, like, racism or something…
