Now that you know how to run a cash register, you have all the education and training you need for a life time career at the burger joint of your choice. So drop out and get a job, become a useful member of society rather than suffer under the crushing student debt that you will have if you decide to go to college.

That cash will end up in my bank anyway. I own ten banks you know.

I don’t tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I’ll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it’s for the birds. As far as I’m concerned, they’re just doing their job.
