Chipotle manager says Hillary didn't tip
The manager of an Ohio Chipotle restaurant on Wednesday said Hillary Clinton didn’t drop money in the tip jar during her visit earlier this week.
Bloomberg reported that Charles Wright, manager of Chipotle’s Maumee, Ohio, location, said Clinton left no change after placing her order Monday afternoon.
“Her bill was $20 and some change, and they paid with $21 and left,†Wright said of the Democratic presidential candidate’s spending.
Clinton, who was on her way to Iowa, visited the Maumee franchise during its afternoon lunch rush alongside Huma Abedin, the vice chairwoman of her presidential campaign. Employees did not recognize either woman.
“We get a bunch of tips,†Wright, a GOP voter, said of his store’s typical business. “If we’re doing our job right, people tip.â€
Wright said the pair ordered a chicken burrito bowl, a chicken salad, a blackberry Izzy and a soda. After an employee rang them up, he added, Clinton did not cover the final total.
“The other lady paid the bill,†he said of Clinton’s companion. “Clinton didn’t pay.â€
The former secretary of State announced her campaign in a video released on social media Sunday.
“I’m running for president,†Clinton said in Sunday’s video.
“Everyday Americans need a champion,†she continued. “I want to be that champion.â€
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh raised the issue of Clinton’s tipping during his Tuesday broadcast. Her behavior was important, he argued, given the rhetoric of her campaign.
“But I would like to know if she left anything in the tip jar, because that would be an indication that she understands the average, ordinary, everyman that she seeks to represent,†Limbaugh said.

"In fact, she has shared more than one hot tub with Robert Rubin, and Hank Paulson, and sometimes both at the same time."
My psyche is now blind.
Hillary is not anti-Wall Street: Steven Rattner
It is untrue to say that Hillary Clinton is anti-Wall Street, former Obama aide Steven Rattner said Friday.
"She has been someone who-I'm going to call her constructive on Wall Street- believes that Wall Street has a roll to play in the economy," Rattner said on CNBC's "Squawk Box." "She believes that our capital markets are the best in the world and have a role to play in our enormous success." "In fact, she has shared more than one hot tub with Robert Rubin, and Hank Paulson, and sometimes both at the same time."
Clinton has recently raised concerns on Wall Street with comments that question whether it is fair for hedge fund managers and CEOs to pay a lower tax rate than the average wage-earning worker.

An endorsement from a criminal like Rattner must sooth the nerves of fellow cartel members. But Rattner is like the inmate who has copped a deal with the feds. He'll say anything to stay out of the slammer.
An upstanding Hillary endorser of sorts.
"Rattner was accused of a "pay-to-play" scheme involving New York's pension fund, in which Rattner's Quadrangle allegedly gave kickbacks to officials if they directed state pension money to the fund.
