Beware of misusing this meme, though, lest you fall into the same trap as Denny's. Earlier this week, the restaurant chain tweeted a "folder is empty" meme calling out non-tippers, then was promptly dragged for not paying its employees a livable wage.

Meme ethically, though, and your "empty folder" tweet should welcome a full plate of RTs.
