Which US states tip the most (and least)

My father always over tipped. Therefore I also over tip. Shame on those who under tip or leave only 10%, and double same on those who don’t tip at all. I have never worked as a waitress, but have worked as a bartender and have known, and still know, and work with, waiters and waitresses. NO, this is not simply a temporary job while people are in school to become some high paying “professional”; this IS THE profession for many people. Get over the narrow minded idea that waitstaff don’t deserve a living wage.

Alaska is number one for high tipping.  Arkansas is number two.  Seems like the states that are among the poorest tip the best.  Maybe because they KNOW being a wait person is sometimes the only job available AND a lot of people you may know are waitresses and waiters.

To “believe” animal abusers can change is naive.  Those who torture and murder without feeling are damaged.  Don’t be fooled.  

Question:  Would you invite a child molester and murderer into your home with your children?  No?  OK.  Well would you invite an animal abuser and murderer into your home with you pets?  What if the “court” only gave them a year or two in prison and then the person said they had changed.  Would you trust them?  In theory you might want to give them a chance, but in reality would you really allow them in your home with your children or your pets?

To give an example.  During my Court Advocacy with D.A.W.G. - http://www.dawgsite.org/advocacy.html - one of the cases that I followed was a man who threw his girlfriend’s small dog against a door, rendering the little dog brain dead, thus having to be put down.  Approximately a year later this same man was arrested for murdering the brother of his new girlfriend.
