This feels a little like: "Well, if the 49ers can do the whole 'due process' thing with Ray McDonald.."

I think Tim Cook said it best when he mentioned that Apple's real innovations have been UX and interaction improvements. It's not so much that they innovate on technology, they just integrate technologies really well.

I wonder how many games Goodell will suspend that elevator handrail.

Redskins. My dad. La-Z-Boy.

If the QB position was comparable between college and the NFL, Tebow would still have a job. We don't have to make this about race.

Absolutely agree that the city itself is nice. Too bad it's literally in the middle of absolutely nowhere.

Upon further review, it was still unnecessary.

Trial by combat!

"After 60 years of supporting the blacks..."

Criminals who shoot people are still criminals.

Two facts are pertinent:

Vikings were the first people to take land from Redskins anyways. When will the oppression end??

I hate being a Redskins fan.

They're real people, too.

Terrible analogy, but I can get behind no gratuity for a server who's actually a dick to you. "Generally shitty waiters/waitresses" seems to cover a whole lot more than that though. I'm speaking to non-malicious, but poor service, which is much more common and pertinent to this discussion than outright abuse.

It sounds like a goddamn wonderful thing. Every server I ever worked with before would have loved that to be the case. Unfortunately, that's just not how it is at the present. Restaurants tend to be a bit more powerful on this than restaurant workers' unions.

Sure, a bonus is usually considered "in excess". But, by definition, "minimum wage" is also considered at least $7.25 an hour in the US, too. There's quite a bit of gray area here.

I think we're ultimately in agreement there. 20% is usually my baseline tip (it's easier to calculate than 15%!) and I might even throw in an extra buck or two if you've been super-pleasant or we've been a bit picky or demanding at a table. I view that extra couple of bucks, boosting their tip % on my table from 20 to…

Unfortunately, a tip is not a bonus. It is part of a server's living wage that's purposefully left in the hands of the consumer so that the proprietor can keep costs down.

I accept your bullshit. Depending on the offense, I would agree. I'm not defending personal insults. Although, if things got to that extreme, a discussion with the manager should definitely be included in this discussion.
