F*ck the beer, I'd be doing straight shots of Grey Goose.
Honestly, I've seen so many articles like this (evacuees spending money on strip clubs! alcohol! Louis Vuitton!) and it's like . . . whyyyy do people care? Ninety-nine people out of a hundred are spending it rationally, so why do we need to freak out if a random lady is buying an LV with her evacuation money?
Besides, that LV purchase might not be as stupid as it sounds . . . if she takes care of it, that's an investment.
(As a server, though, you better be tipping me. WTF, not expecting a tip from evacuees? If you can afford to go to a restaurant, you can afford to tip. I don't get why people don't understand that most servers, especially at chain restaurants like Red Lobster, DO NOT GET PAID WAGES, so tips are all they make . . . You not tipping = us working for free. So no matter how "poor" you are [I don't consider anyone poor if they're going to a sit-down restaurant], you better be leaving a tip. You can't afford a tip? Go somewhere you don't need to leave one.)
