How can $60 be the tip? You tip on the amount before discount, i.e. 47 x $35 = $1645. At 15%, that's a $246.75 tip.

It's not necessarily a scam, you may get the magazines or newspapers, but the stories are almost always made up. The kids are driven in vans from city to city, and they only get paid some money for food. Most of their earnings are kept on a ledger and is probably never paid out. If they don't sell enough subscriptions, they even lose money.

I feel bad for the kids, but buying subscriptions from them doesn't really help them. It's not a way out for them.

Schools shouldn't be funded by selling soda, they should be funded through taxes. Raise taxes, make kids healthier.

Should Chocolate Milk Be Served In Schools?

I don't recall chocolate milk being very common in Germany, yet Germans drink more milk than US Americans. The argument that children won't drink milk if it's not flavored is clearly flawed.

Right, because it was the Democrats who were in power from 2000 to 2008 and extend government to violate privacy and civil rights.
