It’s legitimately depressing. Like, I don’t know what I’ll do if Harper wins again. I can’t stand the thought of it, and I can’t get my head around the idea that so many Canadians are willing to vote for him again. He’s an abomination. A sociopathic monster. How did this happen to my country??

I teach yoga, but I suspect the same sorts of dynamics are in play — someone is probably jealous of your awesome, so they’re giving you less desirable classes as a stepping stone to pushing you out (or getting you to step out).

I can’t even handle Canadian politics right now. Those stupid Conservative fucks are leading again. How? By being bigoted assholes. Tip lines encouraging us to spy on our immigrant neighbours. You can’t make this shit up.

Super shit news: this week I found out I have cancer.

There are some really great scarf-y shawls out right now. I did something like this at an event a few weeks ago. People could still see my dress but I wasn’t freezing.

I had a manager who tipped himself. I’m from the UK so we got minimum wage and there was a shared tip jar, and the normal staff working would be a manager (salaried), a chef (also salaried), and 2-3 waiters (paid hourly). Tips were supposed to be only shared between the hourly staff but one manager would always cut…

Yeah, but most kitchen staff make at least the regular minimum wage, whereas servers make $2-$3 an hour before tips. So no, servers should not have to tip out the kitchen staff regardless of how important they are to the operation of the restaurant because the kitchen staff is already being compensated for their…

This pleases me.

ITS ABOUT ETHICS IN RESTURERENT JOURNALISM

Lol. I have a server that I have to restrain from tipping me out when I help her if she’s the only one on the floor. I’m like, “I GET PAID A SALARY. TAKE YOUR MONEY OR I WILL WRITE YOU UP FOR MAKING ME TAKE ILLEGAL TIPS.”

But we don’t need unions or collective bargaining or wage laws because each individual server can just use the vast power and leverage they hold to stop the managers from doing this sort of thing. Also I have a magic unicorn rabbit that shits skittles.

Let me just get the Pinkham’s Law out of the way, because I don’t see any yet and I’m SURE it’ll happen-

ARGLE BARGLE BUT RESTAURANT MANAGERS WORK HARD TOO AND NEVER GET TIPS DID YOU KNOW RESTARANT MONAGERS CARE ONLY ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THE RESTESRAUNT AND ARE SELFLESS ANGELS TO WORK AS HARD AS THEY DO FOR THE…

They were participating in a promotion that involved taking selfies put on by the stadium. It had just been announced right before this clip.

When I was a cook for Norwegian Cruise Lines America, I got 7.49 an hour. I don’t know what the servers got, pay-wise but, I know how much they got from tips (they freely spoke of their numbers). NCLA would take a piece of the tips ran through the client’s accounts/tab and through charge card payments made at…

It’s also worth noting that the announcers were encouraging people to take selfies so....

I’m currently part of a class action lawsuit against one of my former employers, because they did the same damn things. In fact, one time there was an error where two credit cards get mixed up, causing one to be double charged and the other meal to go unpaid. Guess who had to pay out over $200? Yo.

Surely I didn’t say anything that would suggest that. Because no, Christians are not persecuted in the majority of third world nations.

Please pray for me I’m stuck in Denver airport like a man without a country.

We don’t do the whole fundie Christian thing very well down here. Nobody in the government or anywhere else wanted him here so he was told he wasn’t allowed into Australia and his visa was denied.

I am really tired of these idiots who claim they are being “religiously persecuted” when they are actually being detained for legitimate, non-religious reasons, like not performing your job, or not traveling to a foreign country without the proper visa. Fuck off already.
