Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: From Bartender to Congresswoman<\/h2>\n<p>Before winning a seat in Congress, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) worked as a bartender, giving her firsthand experience in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-minimum-wage-increase-in-next-covid-relief-bill-republicans-warn-the-minimum-wage-increase-will-kill-small-businesses\/\" title=\"No minimum wage increase in next COVID-relief bill, Republicans warn the minimum wage increase will kill small businesses\">service industry<\/a>. With her love for social media, it&#8217;s no surprise that she couldn&#8217;t resist responding to a question on the new platform Threads.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;What are your best and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ocasio-cortez-shredded-for-complaining-about-customer-who-tipped-200-300-a-day\/\" title=\"Ocasio-Cortez Criticized for Complaining About Generous Tipper\">worst food service industry stories<\/a>? @AOC,&#8221; someone with the Threads handle taylorjordalardas wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>AOC didn&#8217;t hold back in her response, sharing stories that involved &#8220;mansplaining&#8221; and a customer attempting to belittle a server.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh gosh, there is literally an endless supply here. I have some really weird stories. One time there was this really rich guy who would come in one week a year &#038; was really addicted to mansplaining,&#8221; she wrote in her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/t\/CuYNZhlxjwN\/\">response<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You could just really tell he got satisfaction from it. He\u2019d love to say &#8216;ask me a question&#8217; and include all these little asides to belittle the server and uplift himself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyways, if you indulged him, he tipped like $200 to $300 on a lunch tab every day for a week straight. Then disappeared till next year,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, this behavior is unacceptable. Imagine a lonely guy coming into a bar, eager to engage with someone, only to be met with belittlement. And yet, he would generously tip $200-$300 just for a moment of conversation before vanishing for a year.<\/p>\n<p>However, AOC faced criticism on Twitter after someone shared the Threads post.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m so sorry you had to go through that ordeal. Hopefully the $300 tip helped towards your recovery. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VNETpwmuSS\">pic.twitter.com\/VNETpwmuSS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Noam Blum \ud83d\udea1 (@neontaster) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/neontaster\/status\/1677280261040373760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Geoffrey Ingersoll, editor in chief at the Daily Caller, offered a compassionate perspective, but not towards AOC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;99.9% chance he was a wealthy and quaint old man whose wife had passed a few years ago and who loved reading in retirement and just wanted someone, ANYONE to talk to for a minute. Maybe even childless through no fault of his own, so passing on info to a young server gave him a sense of worth and he was willing to tip well for the opportunity,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Another Twitter user expressed envy, saying, &#8220;$1200-$1500 from one week to listen to a guy tell stories while I worked. Guy sounds awesome! I wish I had him visit my establishment when I was younger. Would have been incredible to have such a great week in tips!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As someone who also worked in the service industry, I can&#8217;t help but think how amazing it would be to earn that much in just one week. However, to AOC, it was seen as chauvinistic &#8220;mansplaining&#8221; and an attempt to belittle the server.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s disheartening to see such a distorted and negative worldview.
