Hey if you rearrange "notalldetectives" you can almost spell "it's about ethics."

I was totally thinking that.

Seconding the "fucking freezing" aspect of it. I "look" Jewish/middle eastern, but live in a very polyglot/multi-cultural city, so I'm not quite as worried, but damn it, it's the middle of bloody winter!!

I've sent an email asking about an "other" category, but no...

I'm thinking like maybe he's on the couch?

My mother and salads. I swear to god.

...okay. I can see that. Sorry.

It is implied that you are responsible for that part of the server's wages. Which is why tips are taxed.

How about: If the service is shitty, ask for a manager and register a complaint. I don't get to pay the car repair place less because they are abrupt with me, and I don't get to pay the metro less because there are delays. The only place that people seem to think it's okay to stiff people is food prep and service.

In Europe, servers are paid a living wage. Here, tipping is seen as paying for the service. It's expected, and it's a real dick move to not do so.

American servers are paid a base wage of less than three dollars an hour. While it's not mandatory to tip, it's a real dick move to fail to do so.

As I posted down thread, awards, how do they work?!

Also, things that are awarded to people by someone other than Kanye! How do they work?!

I simply do not understand why people keep inviting Kanye to things. The man has no sense of propriety.

Miss Manners suggests answering the question with a question: "why are you interested?" or "why do you want to know?"

Felafel. Felafel for dayyyyyyyys.

That is the metalist thing I've ever heard.

The second child was a month premature, most likely. Does that really need to be spelled out?

That looks...really freakin' tasty, if you can ignore the circumstances, random bees, and road grit...

I can't add anything to the perfection of your comment, I just wanted to chime in to acknowledge that it, and you, are perfect. <3
