Non-voluntary tip sharing enforced by management is illegal. Servers work for themselves, not for the cooks, hosts, bus boys, etc. If they want to voluntarily give away their tips, that's entirely up to them.

Tip-sharing pools are only legal if an employee volunteers to do so. Restaurants cannot enforce such tip pools and doing so is a violation of federal law, has been for decades.

Restaurants making servers pay the credit card processing fee for something that the restaurant already has to do? This sounds like a violation of labor law to me. Has anybody brought this up to the NLRB or state labor boards?

Userscript.org has been down since May 6th. The owner/operator announced on August 4, 2010 that they could no longer devote time to operating it and that it was in "maintenance mode". The site may be under a DOS attack of some kind, which it has been a target of in the past. The owner may have taken down port 80, but…

I'll also take a referral for PerkTV if you have one, thank yoU!

I've tried applying for something similar a few times, but never meshed with my schedule.

Some of my side gigs:

Sounds like a great project you should document!

Great to know, thank you!

Thank you, I got turned onto this YEARS ago! I carried around a paper copy of this until I wore it out. Now I take that and save it as an image on my smartphone. Only ever have a problem when I have a card that needs to be swiped because it doesn't have a barcode reader.

This isn't a fool-proof solution. It might work if you have a high-end sound card, but on lower-end sound cards it's likely going to end up causing a feedback loop. It would be better to pay for a copy of Virtual Audio Cable.

You're assuming Stereo Mix is available in the audio drivers for your OS. This is quite often not the case with lower-end PCs and many notebook and netbooks.

What is, and why?

Ditto! This recently came up on an episode of the Clark Howard Show, Clark was outraged that two calls for roadside assistance from the program the insurance company offered FOR FREE was recorded as two claims against their policy that doubled their rates.

Everybody knows all that stuff, though, it's regularly regurgitated all over the Internet. Most Americans are not motivated by fluff, though. They want to know why they should plunk down $55 (or $110 for an Executive membership) to change their shopping habits.

In my area, it's typically $0.25-$0.30/gal less. I typically have to fill up once a week. Right now if I wasn't getting E-85 for nearly $0.90 cheaper (making it more affordable per gallon than unleaded), I'd be doing all my fill-ups at Costco.

"A lot of those people don't have access to libraries, or bookstores."

I'm not going to wade through 363 posts of back-and-forth arguments, so I'll just lay out what I have to say and go from there. Feel free to jump in on this party if you wish.

I'm surprised that only one person mentioned Kirkland Signature brand milk. At $2.49/gal, it's typically 70 cents/gallon cheaper than Walmart or Kroger store-brand milk. The square containers also fit in the fridge nicer. And, maybe it's just me and maybe it's my brain tricking itself, but I actually think it tastes…
