Once upon a time, I went to this small private school. For a time this lady tried to take the girls aside and teach them how to be ladies. I did not care for most of it, but at one point she was going to teach us some table manners that nobody cares about anymore. She didn’t get very far with it, and all I really…

When I worked at Arby’s a guy bought a meal just before I went to clean half the dining room. He left to wash his hands, and I wasn’t paying attention and tossed his entire meal. Like, the sandwich was still wrapped and everything. He came back to a completely cleared and cleaned off table, same as the rest of that…

I didn’t.

I never did have much trouble figuring out the 15% tip. Figuring out 10% is easy, and 5% is half of 10%, and the two added together are 15%. But, people had trouble with it, and at the time our local tax was 7.5%, so some people doubled the tax to come up with 15%. I think the tax has gone up to 8.5% and 8.75%, so the…

I was wondering if anybody ever got the difference made up just by asking.  I figured that they got fired soon after for “other reasons.”

You’re right. If there isn’t an obligation to pay some minimum amount, it’s just up to the individual to quit. The guy paying them will just keep sending them out until he loses money on the hotdogs that get made but not sold.

Not really understanding some of your comment. I don’t do calls. My husband is a photographer, and I usually get pressured into taking a job with him (like he is fired if he can’t hire someone to do the job, so I end up doing it). Supposedly the shift is six hours, but then the company adds an hour before and an hour…

As I said to someone else, in sales, I think I should have gotten tipped for people wasting my time. But for whatever reason, we don’t do that. We are expected to tip people who bring us food. So, you either tip the guy or don’t use the service, and they’ll hire fewer people for it. It’s pretty simple.

Because it takes up more than three hours of their time, and it is a lot of work for $75.  Assuming that they did make even the $75.  Which, since I have only been to like one game, I would assume they did not.

I think commission on a car is a lot more than for a hotdog.

Maybe you tip less for balloons because they don’t weigh anything?

Because, as it says in the article, the commission is less than seventy-five cents.

Mine is free, if you don’t do it often.

It has to be on a certain day, about twice a month, and you have to call and tell them so that they bring a bigger truck or extra guys or something. And the office says we aren’t supposed to put things out much before dark the night before, but I put it out the morning before after they made such a big deal about it,…

They have to see it first. This time, I don’t think anybody did.

Someone at the office at the home I rent. It quit working, and I really don’t know how to fix anything, but I’ve heard this was an easy repair. I just couldn’t quite get myself to try it. My grandmother had died, and we were getting rid of her stuff, so I got her washing machine, just in case mine was not an easy…

There were guys at the flea market who went around on trash day looking for furniture that they could repair. And there was another guy that just sold the furniture as he found it and the buyer tried to fix it up.

I wish. And I did not actually see it go into the garbage truck, so it isn’t impossible. But it stayed on the curb for about a day and then I was gone for about an hour and when I got home the trash and the machine were gone. I live off of a busy street, but my street dead ends so no one has any business being on my…

$30 fee, plus buying plastic for it? I only paid $100 for some of them, not paying to have it taken away when I need it replaced. When the city hauls this stuff away for free twice a month, I am not paying a fee.

Sounds like trying to get around the Moviepass nonsense is easier.
