Burger Worker -- Obama Didn't Want Change!

Barack Obama was definitely in the mood to play a little "just the tip" with the cashier at Five Guys burger joint last week -- as in, dude totally let her keep the change!

Five Guys worker: Click to watch
TMZ talked to the lady who took the $72.40 order from the Prez, and she tells us he let her keep the extra $7.60 from the $80 he threw down.

It ain't much -- but how many of you actually tip for fast food?!

31. First, Obama is paid by the tax payers! I voted for this man, who by the way, I would change now if I could. Every news story that I hear is him renigging on his stands he rallied for during his campaign. He is nothing but a Liar and a republican in sheeps clothing. Great job on saving the auto industry Jack ass and what about NOT taxing health care? He's up to it again. The richer get richer and the poor are left to beg at there doors. Great JOB, way to CHANGE America!!!! Open your eyes people!!!

32. What a cheap-ass publicity stunt. Oh sure, the POTUS has nothing better to do than fetch lunch for his minions...yeah right. Seriously, nothing better to do? Isn't his time TOO IMPORTANT for BS like this...that any idiot can do. Obviously just another 'oh he's so dreamy and yet so down-to-earth' publicity stunt.

33. I got one, I never was in favor for Obama, I always thought him becoming president was going to send us all straight to hell but hey, I noticed something..........he and his family do more "AVERAGE CITIZEN" things than any other prez. Maybe it is because they are younger or have younger children....but I found it fascinating that instead paying the White House Chef/cooks to fix up a few sandwiches or snacks or what have ya, he WENT OUT, IN PUBLIC, & BOUGHT FAST FOOD. Ahem, That's 80 more dollars the economy will not have to suffer without. ......just sayin.

34. I have never seen a black man tip. Just ask many waiters and waitresses. They don't like to serve tables of black patrons because they don't tip and are often rude and arrogant. Anywho, $7.60 is only about 10 1/2 percent tip. Traditionally a 15 percent tip is miminum for basis service and 20 percent for excellent service. This Five Guys location apparently provides sub par service to it's patrons.

35. Who tips for fast food? Waiters and Waitress' make far less than minimum wage with the idea that tips will be received. What kind of service do most people get from a fast food place anyway....CRAPPY!

36. Unfortunately, he's shown all of us he's a big spender.

37. I bet she keeps the tip. I know I would. How many people gets a tip from the President. Just because he spends money doesn't mean its the tax payers. Remember he makes money on his own. People are just too negative about him, and no I didn't support or vote for him. But I acknowledge him as our president and do have respect for the office that he holds. All Americans should do the same.

38. A multi millionaire and the president of the united states did not accept 7 dollars worth of change- what a shocker!

39. To "Al": The president's annual salary is $400,000 not "millions" as you falsely claimed.

To "Herbin’Gorilla": At least he's in the white house working every single day unlike George W. Bush who was on vacation throughout most of his presidency and set the historical record for most vacation days for any President (surpassing Ronald Reagan's previous record) in the history of the United States of America. By the way you are aware that labor laws allow even minimum wage workers to take mandatory breaks right?

To "gabe78": Obama never ordered those cameras to come and follow him. The cameras chose to cover his lunch break. Are you saying that the press cameras should not have the choice to follow whomever they want? Are you saying that you want to take away the freedom of the cameras to cover whom they want?

To "sweetpea": Who are you trying to kid? You were a McCain/Palin supporter before the election and you are one now. Obama has achieved more in his 100 days than George W. Bush achieved in 8 years. Everyone can see right through your clandestine agenda.

20%? Are you frickin crazy? You're lucky if you 10% out of me. Most waiters/waitresses are rude and slow. There is nothing you can do that would make me give you a 20% tip. You take the order, serve the food and keep my coffee cup full. STFU and just do your job. $7.60 is a pretty good tip for a burger jockey who would not normally get a tip in the first place.

42. Look at all of the petty racists making their watermelon and monkey jokes from the privacy of mama's basement.
They would NEVER admit their true hatred in public, except maybe at a Sarah Palin rally or Hannity freedom concert.
Why don't you just admit the hate is racially biased?? From the comments here it's pretty hard to deny.
Thanks for reinforcing the belief of many that the truly hateful Obama critics are racists indeed.
Stand up, admit that you think you are better than him because of the color of your skin. White is Right, right? - Jesus would be really proud of you to testify to THAT!! He knows who your are and you can't hide from HIM the way you hide on the internet.

43. # 11 you are a IGNORANT RACIST BASTARD. # 6, 7, and 8 ALL are IGNORANT also. This mans pinky finger has more smarts than ALL 4 of your ASSES . Stop hating and help keep this country from falling apart. NO one wants your dumb racist comments on here. Keep hiding behind your key board. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL THE POSITIVE PEOPLE ON HERE!!!!

44. What a sampling of idiotic morons we have here. Tax payers dollars? Really.. it's a job people,... he does get a salary and like it or not he can buy fast food. I really wish you big mouths were bellowing your concerns for your tax dollars before Bush spend BILLIONS of them on BS and took month long vacations while our young people die in a war he lied about and pushed for. Pull your hating heads out of your a$$es for change or do you get a woody from spouting foolishness on the internet?
