Just Picked Up a KILLER Idea From the Democratic Underground

One poster on the DU is asking how to deal with gift cards from places that liberals should not shop. Like, say, Chic Fil-A or Papa John's, etc.

Several people suggested various things - giving the cards to the homeless, being the most popular.

However, one user proposed an awesome idea:

Order a glass of water while perusing the menu, decide not to eat there and give the entire balance on the card as a tip to the waitperson who brought your water. That way, you are helping the very people that Darden mistreats.
DING!!! Awesome idea.

Now let's take that idea up to level eleven: whether you have a gift card or not, go to Chic Fil-A, Olive Garden or any of those Republican-friendly places, order a glass of water or something minimally priced, and give the waitperson a HEFTY TIP. A dollar for a soda, and 10 dollars (whatever the cost of the meal would be) to the waitperson. Call it a donation straight to the working class. Make it a cash tip if possible, and give it directly to them.

Now not everyone can afford to do that and then go out elsewhere to eat for real. But groups like Occupy can. I certainly can, as long as I can go incognito. (Not interested in having my name splashed across the paparazzi media.)
