I love these football-players-are-human interviews.

Celtics have so many above average role players that I don’t actually know which are the key contributors being traded away or kept.

What? Neither of these actions by her are justified or make sense and definitely deserve derision.

OJB should adopt that dog.

So NYT should continue to staff the same amount of copy editors in perpetuity even though their work load continues to deplete?

That bit is particular to my municipality since the city council determined that bars/restaurants do not pay wait staff enough so they are passing it along to customers in addition to the standard tip. Obviously not typical everywhere. And sorry, but I’m not going to ask every bartender at every busy bar how much they…

Taxed on their sales? These days when I open a tab I’m charged sales tax and a 5% service tax and tip 15-20% on top of that. I don’t have time to figure out the nuances of bar operations.

He would find the cheapest pair in the store and argue all of the shoes should be that price.

Thank you. If a business is shifting its focus, then the allocation of resources shift. If you only need 90 editors instead of 100 because you’re moving to something that requires 10 non-editors, you shift those resources.

In 15 years of drinking I never knew that bartenders had to tip barbacks out of their own tips based on total sales. This is a management-employee issue, not the customer’s problem.

So far ahead yet so....unrewarding?

It’s not ridiculous to assume $12 is fair price for someone to literally hand you a bottle. I wouldn’t tip that low but I wouldn’t be outraged if someone else did.

Funny, this is actually less than I tip. Ugh kinja. When I hit cancel it published. Anyway, I usually go dollar per drink. But now that everything is a champaigne/cocktail bar where they charge sales tax and service tax, I tip around 15-20% which gets insane but oh well.

While I feel for you, it is not the customer’s job to understand the inner workings of the business. It is your management’s duty make sure you are paid fairly. And if you are working at a place customers are buying $50o dollar bottles, they probably actually cost the business $50 bucks and hence your hourly rate…

Disagree with the assertion you should tip 20%. 15% is sufficient for adequate service. That being said I normally tip 20%+ and if I’m spending too much time trying to figure out numbers, I always remember that an extra dollar or two earned for them means a lot more than an extra dollar or two saved for me.

agree with you there 100%, but doesn’t mean some billionaire should have to suck up to Jeter bringing only his ego to the table.

Hey Tom can you get rid of the dueling handjobs running in the banner all day?

as someone who works in the service industry, how much do you expect from someone when you hand them a bottle and a receipt?

no, but he tipped him 13 dollars to hand him a 490 dollar bottle of Dom.

That jersey looks photoshopped.
