That hasn’t happened on a broad scale at any of the municipalities that have eliminated tipped wages. This notion that servers will be poorer doesn’t look at the servers at, say, your local Denny’s that constantly have to work dead shifts where they get $3/hour to start, then they get the “good” shifts where maybe…

I’m continuously astounded by people who know that servers make pennies on the dollar, and fucking rely on tips to make minimum wage in some places, and will not tip, because “it’s not their way,” or “they shouldn’t have to pay the staff’s salary.”

No, I agree with you, I’m just frustrated by the level of mental gymnastics needed to make this a valid argument. 

But that’s not even an ID. My Costco card has my picture on it, a blurred dot matrix picture that has faded over the course of ten years. Literally anyone could pretend to be me using my card. Even this can’t pass the “don’t listen to what he said, but what he is talking about” BS.

My mother’s 65 and she hasn’t driven ever in her life. Pointing out that Hilary will never drive again is ridiculous.  

I saw a Giants game as a child where an obviously CTE riddled Dave Brown headbutted an opposing player. I’m pretty sure it was over what he thought was roughing the passer. The other guy had his helmet on. Dave Brown did not.

I got recruited to be a buyer for a local mom and pop hardware store. Man, the family that ran the store was great. They even expanded to have a bike shop and coffee shop to attract more customers, and were literally a fixture in their community.

You (we) would probably be helping the economy a lot more if we bought our lumber at the lumber yard, or plumbing at plumbing store, our tools and hardware at the hardware store, our plants at the nursery, etc., but instead, we choose the easy way of one stop shopping at the expense of under paid, not knowledgeable…

I think that’s fair. But I can tell you from experience that every story laid out here is literally par for the course. That scenario with the overnight stocker I’ve seen happen multiple times, with me in the room doing the “firing” (Its not to store management who to fire. All HR decisions are made by independent HR…

That actually was a thing. They would hire plumbers and electricians, and hire them at market rate just to talk shop with the other pros.

I feel like Pepe le Pew is way more racist than Speedy is. Pepe is an over aggressive sex offender that smells bad, two very astute stereotypes of French men at the time of his creation.

I’ll be honest, I don’t really comprehend the farm system, but as far as I can tell, most pitchers used to at least be competent hitters at some point in their amateur years. The way I’ve always seen it, a choice was made somewhere to focus on one thing. Wouldn’t it make sense to start training long relievers to also…

Because of times like when I took my daughter to see a Mystics games, there were maybe 15 people in my section and it was by far the most populated.  Oh, and I paid $16 for those tickets. 

SOOOOO Glad I don’t work there anymore. I would get racial slurs hurled in my direction a ton while trying provide service. I even had a similar situation, where I asked the customer to at least pick up his purse dog, because THERE WAS A FUCKING FORKLIFT DRIVING AROUND IN THE NEXT AISLE AND THE DOG WAS 20 GODDAMN FEET…

Thankfully, my too long tenure as a retail manager is over. But, this is rule one for me. Whenever my employees would get mad at me for not chasing down a possible shoplifter, I remind them that whatever they stole isn’t worth my job, because the company would literally fire me on the spot if I walked out the store to…

On Fridays, like today, I’ll go out to eat.  Maybe I’ll punt anything serious, and go down a Youtube/Facebook/Gizmodo rabbit hole.  Now I know I’m doing it all wrong

This is awesome. Chance is a hero.

Don’t worry, you’ll see them show up to defend Barstool in the comments section real soon.

And even less likely to die day care has a waiting list, and is happy to charge you a pound of flesh a month for the privilege.
