I used to live next to a run-down movie theater in a small town in CT in the 90's. I would hop down some weekday evening, pay my $4 bucks to see a movie that had been out for a few months in an almost empty theater with a few other people that were there for the same reason.

Especially when the best experience is getting a whole theater room to yourself.  It’s my biggest incentive to watch a movie that’s been out for 7 weeks and is basically on it’s last showing.

I honestly never got the appeal. If I go to a movie theater it’s going to be on Saturday morning and the movie will have been out for 3 weeks. I want the place to myself.

People talk about the communal experience of seeing a movie in the theater as opposed to at home- how important that is to the art form etc etc...

“Why does picking a phone plan need to be this difficult?”

I’ve got a coworker who does this...claims that no good movies were made before 1990.

Don’t play Joust with your kid. I used to think I was good at Joust. Then the fact that I only played it maybe 40 times 30 years ago ran into the fact that my son plays video games 14 hours a day or more most of the time against other kids that play 14 hours a day.

Meh. I think I’d tack this to be careful with where you are getting your videos (along with everything else you put on your computer). Personally, I’m not going to uninstall but I’ll go ahead and the upgrade next the notice pops up.

Not sure if this applies, but if that “anonymous” survey came through SurveyMonkey, like is routinely used by our HR team, then it’s 100% not anonymous.

The same tips apply to providing internal reviews. HR at my small company sent out a survey asking us to rate all the supervisors in various departments. I made a conscious effort to change my voice and style in all the open answer fields. At least one misogynist now speaks to the women in the office on a much more…

Where does it say anything about cold brew in there? What I see is:

Fixed it for you.

Standard Operating Procedure ≠ The Right Thing To Do

If you’re a hiring manager or recruiter, there is absolutely no excuse for ghosting an unsuccessful candidate. If you’re ghosting candidates, you’re bad at your job.

So is the tip before or after the “you pay the servers salary not us” item?

People are accustomed to having state and local taxes added onto a bill, or airport fees in the case of air travel. That’s not what this is.

It shouldn’t even need a note on the menu. Price the food appropriately so that you can pay your employees what they deserve. The local Best Buy isn’t putting notes up everywhere about how a certain amount of every price actually goes to paying employees, because everyone knows that’s the entire deal with commerce.

No Pinky, thats not right. In fact I would think that this may lead to a lawsuit. Just today on this site I read an article that a man is suing a restaurant chain for not disclosing the prices on the menu. How is this any different. Just because I have already consumed the food doesn’t mean the restaurant can tack on…

Bet you hadn’t thought about that in eons, but reading this brought back the memory, AND the fact you voted with your feet. So that just proves how little we like these types of things. Had the entrees been $6.50 instead of $5, and the bread not been a separate charge, you may have become happy regulars.

$2.50 is the portion you are being charged for ALL of the employees benefit. If you want to deduct your server’s portion from your tip, divide $2.50 by the number of employees participating in the benefits program and subtract that number from the tip.
