a lot of the employees at my job are conservative (and not like- we believe in smaller government, we want a more literalist interpretation of those papers... they are the nasty version of the word). these 16 year old grocery baggers saying the most vile, teaparty-ish shit. it's real sad for me personally.
I was at a Piggly Wiggly in Milwaukee Wisconsin, which is basically one of the most miserable places one can be in the Midwest, and heard two teenage baggers bitching about how the Democrats want to raise the minimum wage and take their jobs
That doesn't even make sense.
Bless your heart.

tip 20%, if you can afford to eat out you can afford to not be a dick
tip less only if it's the only possible way to convey that you have been treated poorly and are unlikely to return
seriously, tipping well is the light and is the right thing to do. Restaurant staff (especially in small local spots) do remember you.
I order carry out specifically to avoid tipping because I'm poor but I still sometimes want food I didn't have to make that isn't mcdonalds

You'd ask for $20 and they'd hit it right on the mark
Then they'd look at you with a smirk on their face.
And squeeze that handle one last time.

Apropos of trolling myself by reading a series of continentally-inflected blog posts (of the SPEPy variety), here is my current--curmudgeonly--impression of that philosophical ecosystem:
It has all the essentially terrible features of pragmatism--endless, content-free peans to the irreducible complexity of multi-faced singular experiences etc. etc., which never terminate in any interesting conclusions on first-order matters. But, unlike the pragmatists, they've so completely sociologically separated from the analytic mainstream that they no longer even feel the need to engage with people who believe in e.g. states of affairs, classical logic, share-able mental content, and so on. But the only good thing pragmatists ever did was engage with non-pragmatists! At least some of those critiques were interesting. By contrast, when it's just left alone by itself, anti-theory eats its own tail forever. When you're only talking to other deconstructionists, you deconstruct deconstruction, and argue about how theorizing the untheorizability of the particular illicitly attempts to occupy a universalizing space; we need a more thorough revolution of the revolution, and so on, forever.
There's a particular irony in the fact that they often bill themselves as sensitive to the particularities of, and motivated by the significance of, some radical notion of the struggle against the man--but I can think of few things more useless to the struggle than endless navel-gazing debates about who's the better anti-realist.
while i believe there is valuable content in a number of continental lines of thought, and much to be unearthed, and interesting intersections with political philosophy especially in the later 20th century, i am sympathetic to exactly the issues you describe
they are definitely trying to do work that is valuable, or at least outlining work to be done, but when your job is to explore the fundamental failure and ineffectiveness of your tools, and your only tool to do so is those very tools, you are probably going to encounter some... difficulties
and attempts to approach that job obliquely, by accessing different sets of tools (while simultaneously often arguing that you can't even do that without actually using the original tools), are often incoherent and frustrating
I like that image. A bunch of phenomenologists trying to learn more about hammers by hitting hammers together.
Upon discovering that assessing hammers with hammers is not a fruitful enterprise, they then seek out a larger hammer.
i would tweak your analogy thusly
analytical philosophers sit down and use tiny, customized hammers to break apart various larger hammers and deduce the function and use of those hammers, and to make new hammers, and go out into the world and use hammers to build things and chip away at rock to reveal things and etc.
continental philosophers see all the rubble and detritus and damage that this hammering has done, especially crude, unsophisticated hammering in the past, and they also see problems that can't be solved or investigated with hammers all around them - but all they have is hammers, and every time they try to bust a hammer open to figure out some other way, they just end up making smaller hammers, and they have to try using hammers in different ways but it's still, you know, a hammer, and at this point it's a complicated interpretive hammer dance and nobody really gets them

I think I saw a TV show or Movie one time where someone pulled up to a gas station out in the middle of nowhere and it was the old timey pumps and it had like a suspenders wearing hillbilly pumping gas.
No prepay shit or anything you handed him the money
I've discovered a new low in the land of hunger...being poor sucks
Thankfully, it ends tomorrow...unfortunately, that doesn't fix tonight
I thought I had handled this issue, but, well, no such luck.

One of my good friends said the best diet she ever found was being too poor to afford food.
Being hungry sucks.
we've been through it a lot over the last 6 months, done a fair bit of not eating so our boys could and stuff like that...but this is harder because I know it's finally over TO-FUCKING-MORROW
In Texas everyone charges for the gas pump in their F350 pickups and opens fire out the driver's window. Whoever gets to it first swipes his card while dodging bullets, then hoses down his competitors with gasoline and lights it with a flick of his cigar.

Valid point
If at any point you don't want to leave a tip, feel free to come have a quick dalliance with yours truly instead
