Went to an American restaurant years ago Magnificent meal But it was ruined when the waiter handed me the bill... with a "suggested tip" of 20% I pulled him aside And agreed to give him a 20% top, as long as he ensured that: 1% went to the cook who made my meal 1% went to the farmer who raised the chicken I ate 1% went to the farmer's spouse who cared for their kids while the farmer focused on raising chickens 1% went to the utility company that provided the heat to cook my meal 1% went to the waiter's landlord for providing the waiter a safe place to live between shifts at the restaurant He cut me off before I could finish the list And asked me to kindly leave without remitting a tip Typical American attitude Wants all the reward for himself, but doesn't want to split it equally between all the stakeholders who made success possible
