Ugh. It’s privately owned, the chef has like 4 restaurants in this smallish city in southern Virginia. I wasted almost 3 years of my life there, as they kept stringing me along for a management position. Moved to the dc area, and took a server job, was promoted 3 times in 6 months, and am now AGM. So, again, fuck…

I mean, I’ll take them from customers, but they go right to the server or bartender. Good for you for leaving that kinda place

A tip pool is usually where all the servers share tips either equally or according to some sort of arcane and possibly eldritch metric. Tipouts are usually a percentage that goes to support staff: bussers, sometimes hosts, attendees if they made drinks for you, etc. This appears to be a pool of money intended for…

I used to be in a tip pool where you were paid according to a complicated point system, where your points were judged by a Byzantine matrix of criteria as determined by management every 6 months. They refused to ever show us sales figures, and you were forbidden from discussing either your own points or speculating on…

Lol. I have a server that I have to restrain from tipping me out when I help her if she’s the only one on the floor. I’m like, “I GET PAID A SALARY. TAKE YOUR MONEY OR I WILL WRITE YOU UP FOR MAKING ME TAKE ILLEGAL TIPS.”

Subtle. I like that

My kindle combines its evil powers with the power of kinja to write really weird autocorrect s

Holy God. I’m so upset that I now know that this exists.

That “and also confetti” is strangely haunting.

That’s an excellent point. Thanks for the info. I guess I wasn’t really considering the timeline.

This is my second favorite ad by an also-ran. Nothing will ever beat Carly “demon sheep” fiorina’s oeuvre.

This is horrific , and I wonder if she was suffering some sort of postpartum psychosis?

I have to go through TSA every day at work (twice already today!), and I feel like the agents at my airport would have taken 20 minutes for 5 of them to look intently at them, and then just shrug. Good for Denver’s agents, I guess

This is my favorite story of all time. Although, I feel like I would definitely do the same thing, but with more swearing.

God, the amount of time I spend on wine soaked yelp reviews for the restaurant I work at...I can’t imagine if they were actually about me...grad school TA evals were bad enough.

Ah, lambert’s. Lest we forget.

I can’t remember the exact interviews, but it was early on in their careers, mostly seemed like their dynamic when they were friends in texas

Demi lovato has irritated me since her Disney days, when she and selena Gomez were bffs, but you could tell in interviews that she considered herself the pretty friend, and seemed to make selena feel bad about herself. Also, I probably drunk watched princess protection program too many times.

Well, I don’t think they’re necessarily stupid, a lot of times it’s a language disconnect and I can’t refuse to serve it to them, but God, I feel bad. Also, I hate to feel like I’m racially profiling someone because they’re wearing a headscarf. Ugh, it’s difficult.

Ah, that makes sense.
