It will be interesting to see if taxis actually become a thing again. I would rather use them anyway in a big city, where you just wave one down, rather than screwing around on the phone. 

Hell, yes. There are reddit threads where servers talk about management TAKING all the tips and then apportioning them out to FOH, BOH, management and then keeping the rest. Illegal? AS HELL. But good luck finding legal representation that’s affordable to anyone who actually works these jobs. 

I just recently had to remember that taxi cabs are still a thing.  Uber/Lyft was more than twice our cab fare. 

I’m going to assume this is sarcasm, because no one is possibly this ill informed.

My issue with “tipping” is that its just designed to obscure the true cost of the meal and the person it screws isnt the owner, its the people doing the work, as well as the customer, who suddenly is trying to do math, wonder how the bill got so expensive, and then try to mitigate that by leaving less than if the…

For once, a situation that probably could have benefited from a focus group.

This is one of the many ways that tipping is fucked up. Salty is recommending big tips on bad service to change behavior and attitudes. Not enough people will do that and, even if they do, it won’t work. Too many people don’t work that way and will learn the wrong lesson.

*** IT *** IS *** NOT *** A *** DRIVER *** SHORTAGE ***

It’s so fucking dumb. I tip, of course (20%), because it’s expected and they are paid accordingly, but I don’t wanna do fucking math at dinner, I don’t wanna think about whether I have to tip on this takeout, or why I’m supposed to tip for a plain cup of coffee at Starbucks but not McDonalds, or learn at like 25 that…

That’s how they do it in Europe. And it works great. People who claim that it leads to worse service are full of shit.

Between the NY Craigslist ad, the Florida plate and the Vermont location, this thing is even sketchier than I imagined possible.

This thing is almost aggressively awful. From the inability to figure out just what you’re trying to copy to the dodgy chassis situation underneath to the inability to put a manual transmission in this thing to that utterly ridiculous asking price, nothing about this is appealing. This thing smells like someone is irra…

Depends on the product, but overall that’s probably a good call. I tried Impossible at Qdoba and Burger King, Beyond Meat at Del Taco and Carl’s Jr., and of those 4 products it was only the Beyond Famous Star at Carl’s Jr. that convinced me to give either major brand another try.

Because my husband still occasionally eats meat (and we both eat fish), I have tried almost all of the meat substitutes at some point over the past 20 years.

It makes sense that lifelong vegetarians don’t care as much as meat eaters looking to change. If you grew up never eating pork for religious reasons and somebody developed a Kosher or Halal pig, Jews and Muslims wouldn’t be dancing in the streets because it isn’t something they miss, maybe just something they are…

Same price or more, and so far little to no nutritional benefit (not “better for you than”) - add this to an avoidance of fast food for health and budget reasons and I’m a solid “meh.”

The vanity plate with “Honoring Fallen Officers” drives walks the point home: this dumbass is either a cop or a cop wannabe. Either way, he can FRO.

Not just that. He puts the Ford badge on but doesn’t bother to update the SRT badge? WTF?!?

Why swap in a heavier and lower powered engine into this when you can just slap a supercharger onto the regular SRT8 engine to make gonzo power?
