I won't shortchange waiters in the hopes that a movement will spring up and lead to positive changes, and I'm simply not invested in it enough to care to start one. And I don't have it in me to be a dick to a waiter/waitress over such a flimsy principle.
You guys are perpetuating it.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
