You know what guys? I'm starting to suspect we're not being trolled by just one crazy person, but the entire service industry.

Like sometime years ago, a bunch of servers banded together, they took all their worst stories, worst experience and rudest customers and crafted this character, Spring1, so as to troll the rest of the public whenever the topic of tipping comes up on the internet.

Hence the multiple accounts/blogs/sites, the automated 'translator' service, the crazy and contradictory request. EG: 'I shouldn't ever be waiting for a coke refill' followed by 'don't offer me another margarita'. The copy & pasted rants about 'crispy' bacon and 'yellow, not brown' fries.

Maybe I'm just not as jaded as I used to be, but I refuse to believe there's a person out there ordering 4 sides of ranch dressing and keeping a running clock between coke refills. Yes, there are some wacky pieces of work out there, but this character is just too off the wall to be real.

However as far as internet trolls go, this one is worthy of our respect. A solid 10/10 on the troll scale.
