    Wrong. You tip for counter service now. You tip the gas station attendant for ringing up your bubble gum. Soon you will tip your doctor for giving you a prescription. Thanks Obama!

        People here who don’t remember the thanks Obama meme is very sad.

        Anytime anything bad happened people would say “thanks Obama” then it got turned into a meme of people saying it when it didn’t even have anything to do with Obama.

        It got so popular that Obama himself made a meme.

          Haha. Somehow I haven’t seen that before. Obama was a very likeable person.

          Edit: idk why I said “was”. He’s not dead. He is a likeable person.

            Eh, Obama oversaw the expansion of our national surveillance state apparatus, so…not everybody felt he was very likable.

          It’s not that people don’t remember the meme; it’s that this guy seems like he’s saying it unironically.

                I cannot overcome the laws of reality. All I can do is place faith in my fellow humans to rise above the need for /s tags. I figured the line about tipping doctors for writing prescriptions, and the use of a common meme were clear indications that I was being sarcastic. But I get your point, and there is a lot of crazy on the internet these days (always has been, but it’s even more common now).
