I tipped on the full price of a service I got for a discounted price through Groupon. The Groupon actually said to do that. So, while I paid ~$30 for the $60 service, I ended up paying $42-$45 (I know I tipped 20%, maybe a bit more? It was a while ago). Still a good deal to me.

I work at an airbrush tanning salon in Manhattan (no, seriously) and we run a lot of specials. The standard price for our tans is $70, but first-time clients get a 25% discount. We sell packages, too, which will give a client three tans for $85, six for $145, etc. Sometimes, clients tip on the discounted prices…

I tip 20% for all beauty services. The only time I tip less than 20% is if there is a catastrophic fuck up. I had a girl cut an extra 4 inches off my hair than what I wanted. She got maybe 5%. Generally I go to the same places for everything so I know that if I tip well, I will get better service in the long run.

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know my cheddar biscuits will be free. And I won't forget the men who died, so I can bitch about automatic gratuity.

You're misunderstanding his basis for calling it snake oil. I think you're doing it on purpose, because you're too smart to be doing it by accident. In any case you're arguing past him and it's annoying and disingenuous.

It's the last line of the post.

I have a question: why is "because" such a hard word for you type out, considering you were willing to type out 343 other words, in their totality, about HOT HAM WATER?

Bone broth truthers are the fucking worst.

I am also often unhappy, but that's usually to do with the fact that every day I live on this earth is a day I stand just a little closer to death and realize that no matter how hard I struggle against mortality no one will remember me 100 years from now unless I get a genocide together soon or something.

My sister is currently traveling in Europe. Her travel buddies pranked her by telling her that the lights for the hostel (the shared community shower) were clap-on.

Meh. I'd love my partner without Netflix too, but we're not talking about loving our partners, we're talking quality of life here. My quality of life is greater with Netflix and masturbation than sex and no Netflix. Hands down.

What I don't masturbate to on Netflix would make a shorter list.

I've been with my partner for seven years. We have had plenty of sex. I would still love his companionship even if we couldn't do it anymore. But I've loved Netflix for far, far longer.

What if it came down to Netflix vs. binge watching? Can one really exist without the other???

I don't think I could choke down mayo and pineapple chunks...I've done a lot to hold on to jobs but I don't think my stomach would let me...I'd have to claim severe allergies and hope she believed me. Mayo hits my gag reflex all wrong, always has. A thin smear, maybe I could wait til she left to regurgitate, it makes…

Karen Blake (or anyone in a similar position) should look into getting a sexual harassment suit filed through the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). A thing that a lot of people don't realize is that for victims in most employment law cases, one can usually get free legal counsel through the EEOC—this…

My mother was genuinely baffled and hurt when I called her a racist shortly after she called a bus full of people "niggers." She thinks that her missionary trips to Africa and Jamaica insulate her from accusations of racism, but all they say to me is that she likes black people just fine as long as they stay in their…

but you don't mention whether she divorced her husband for running away. She divorced him for running away, right? Right?

If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out.
