Journalists bad tippers ... Huh???

Stop the presses!!! This just in: Journalists are bad tippers, according to three waitreses. When asked if she had received any tips, one waitress smiled then replied: "No, not tonight." Another waitress said the tips are usually not good at these types of events. She said most people ssumed they get paid well enough.
But the discrepancy appears to be the fact that tip jars are not resting on the tables. Actually, many journalists are good tippers, two journos agreed. "I think most journalists tip," said Tim Goheen, a worker for Knight Ridder/Tribune. Thomas Fladung of the Detroit Free Press, himself a former waiter, agrees: "I would definitely tip if I knew we could."
