This was in Minnesota, at a superstore that sold front doors and Halloween decorations and pet supplies, everything, under one roof.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m guessing the bag of litter we got weighed a good 40 pounds. It was really heavy, and I thought that if the only way you could get it home was to carry it in your arms, you&#8217;d probably put your cats to sleep after they&#8217;d gone through the first bag. <\/p>\n<p>The next morning I left Dawn&#8217;s house and flew to North Dakota. While in the Minneapolis airport I went for breakfast at one of those places where you order from a screen. Then you enter all your credit card information, and the machine asks if you want to tip 15%, 20%, or 22%. <\/p>\n<p><em>For what?<\/em> I thought. I mean, I sat myself. I ordered myself. I&#8217;m paying myself. Someone would bring me the plate of eggs, but it would be relatively light \u2013 it&#8217;s nothing compared to the bag of litter I (or, OK, <em>Dawn<\/em>) had carried across a frozen parking lot the previous afternoon. <\/p>\n<p>And the thing is, if you don&#8217;t hit the 22% option, you feel like a cheapskate. Here you are, about to <em>fly<\/em> on a <em>plane<\/em>. Can you afford the extra 60 cents? Of course you can. I just feel that a portion of my tip should go toward me for all the work I&#8217;ve already done. <\/p>\n<p>Then the person brings you your food and you see that she&#8217;s an immigrant, and you think of how your grandparents were immigrants as well. Mine shined shoes while people shouted. &#8220;Learn to speak English, why don&#8217;t you?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Years later they opened a newsstand that sold Playboys, and when people told them they were going to hell, they still didn&#8217;t understand them because they never really learned English. They were so lazy that way, my grandparents. Send <em>them<\/em> to the store for cat litter and they&#8217;d have likely brought home a sack of bird seed. <\/p>\n<p>And so, I felt better about my 22% tip. The woman earned it just for going through security. <\/p>\n<p>But wait, I thought, as I walked away:\u00a0<em>I<\/em> went through security as well! <\/p>\n<p>It was too late to take back my extra 60 cents, though, and so I went to my gate, and flew first class to North Dakota. <\/p>\n<p>Me, a grandchild of immigrants!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>For more info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>Story produced by Amy Wall.
