It's not just the young folks. My wife and I went to our local lodge for a couple of beers. My wife pays the elderly bartender $40 and gets $75 change.

Now she can't get the elderly lady's attention so she flags down another guy and explains the situation.

He says "Oh yeah. She does that all the time'. Then explains that they keep her on the bar because the job is all she has. Her husband and friends have died. It's an all volunteer operation. So she doesn't get paid. She just does it because she's lonely and they don't have the heart to tell her that she can't do it anymore.

So. My wife gives back the money The guy thanks her and then says not everybody gives it back.

This ticked me off. What kind of scumbag steals money from a place like that? Where people are volunteering their time and trying to help the community. I could see it in a dive bar. But not there.
