I just tipped the cable guys

Never even thought about doing that before but under Chump I worry about certain folks.

Been having problems with my internet. Guy came out last week and said yeah, your cable is old and corroding plus, get this, when our company came out last month to "upgrade your service" the cable guy put a filter on it.

Waa? Blah, blah. Take off filter. No wonder it was so fucking slow.

So today two guys showed up to replace not only the cable but install a tube that the cable goes into. Which sounds great to me - no problem with corrosion or yard varmints.

One guy spoke no English the other spoke very little. They worked hard and efficiently and didn't take smoke breaks like all the white workman guys do around here.

Gave the English speaker a twenty. Doesn't sound like much but I bet he never got a tip in my state before.
