Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 79, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 April 1912 — In Place of Meat. [ARTICLE]

In Place of Meat.

The man who had foresworn meat wound up his first vegetarian dinner with the accustomed tip. The next day the service was Indifferent, the third day it was abominable. "What’s the matter with that fellow, anyhow?” he growled. “He used to be a good waiter. Now he simply throws things at you.” "That’s because you didn't tip him enough,” said the man’opposite. "Waiters always expect bigger tips for serving a vegeterlan meal. It takes such a Variety of things to make up for meat that they have to handle more dishes, and make more trips to the kitchen. Any good waiter would rather serve one meat dinner than two of vegetables, and unless he gets tipped generously he gets ugly.” - -
