![him.1415 According to one story, Leon Trotsky s said to have been particularly fond of a Jewish dairy restaurant called Triangle Dairy in the Bronx, whose waiters were Russian emigrés. Trotsky refused to tip after eating as a matter of principle, insisting that "tipping was demeaning to the dignity of a workingman, and that a person should get a regular salary, enough to live on, and not have to depend on tips". For the same reason, he tried to persuade other customers to refuse to tip as well. This led to verbal abuse, poor service, and one incident where waiters intentionally spilled hot soup on him.[16] Tip: $0](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/970/716/d48.jpeg "Trotsky and tipping")

On June 13th, 2021, Twitter[1] user @trinityallie tweeted a photograph of a bartender passing her a note offering help if a patron who was talking to her was bothering her. The user wrote[2] that the patron was indeed bothering her and her friend, and that the bartender ended up forcing him to leave. In a separate tweet,[3] @trinityalle wrote that she asked the bartender to pose for the photo after the situation was resolved. The tweet accumulated over 42,000 retweets and 207,200 likes in two years (tweet and image shown below, left and right).
Spread
The image saw viral spread online in the following week. For example, on June 16th, 2021, Twitter user GuacamoleFanatic posted it to the /r/pics[4] subreddit, where it gained over 66,000 views prior to being removed.
On March 30th, 2022, an anonymous Soyjak.party user posted the earliest found edit of the image, a Janitor meme that was archived on Soybooru[5] that day (shown below).
