>They are also shitty tippers.

It was a lesbian friend in the service industry who first told me the line, "The difference between a lesbian and a canoe is that sometimes a canoe tips."

She hated going out to eat or for drinks with a group of lesbian women because she was either mortified at how badly they tipped or felt obligated to go to the bathroom and surreptitiously slip a cash tip to the server to bring the total to an appropriate amount (which could kick her share up considerably).

Intersectional oppression = low pay = bad tips.

It’s not poor morals/manners…librarians and art teachers, while lovely human beings, are also terrible tippers (source: worked as a waitress at a restaurant that served mostly conventions. The librarian/art teacher conventions were much nicer than the dentists/cardiac surgeons, but they tipped like crap.

> Intersectional oppression

Yes, because every lesbian is low paid and oppressed.

I waited tables long enough to also have people who were very nice and just gushed to me about how great the service was leave a 10% tip or less. Fortunately they would generally be one table out of an entire shift so it didn't really sting too bad overall. I'd imagine that it would be a lot worse dealing with a convention crowd where it happens across most tables.
