I mean it’s being compared to other fast food...so presumably, people are comparing it to, y’know, other fast food.

They have a pickle on them.

That’s a good list of unbiased sources you have there.

Newsflash, little buddy - pretty much any publicly-traded company is going to have stockholders who “support hate.”  So any purchase you make will have pieces of your pennies going to support hate, unless you just check out and live self-sufficiently.  So you can have all the e-tantrums you want, but they’re really…

I’m not sure the donations alone are enough to satisfy your progressive guilt, but surely bragging about it on the internet will help, right?

Don’t be a twat.  That’s the personal beliefs of the CEO, not the actions of the company.  The company is one of the most generous and caring organizations I have ever encountered.

That is a horrifying way to live.

Eh, if you are gonna make that type of comparison then at least say its a Texas-themed Chilis, cause Applebees is complete trash. Texas Roadhouse actually cooks their steaks pretty well.

2001's sure is something else

This reminds me of 2010, when I had a great year due to my niche in the legal industry, but my firm overall did not. My comp dropped about 5%. Others dropped 20%. My admin partner tried to convince me that this was like me getting a raise.

I refuse to believe this is a real question. Lunch, after normal lunch hours, at a place described as looking not too fancy, and this alleged person is worried about how they dressed? To the point of giving a 50% tip? Seriously, wtf. The servers don’t give a shit what you’re wearing. If you’re going to pay money,…

It probably has the opposite effect, too, and they think you’re either recent lottery winners or are on the run after knocking over a Wawa.

I know the commenters are going to type “No, you shouldn’t feel bad. You behaved yourselves, so let’s move on.” But I

Yes, but needlessly overhopping beers is ruining hops for me. FFS, there is more to beer than it being 222% hops.

Smells like an extortionary attempt playing on longstanding tropes of Asian food as “exotic,” “mysterious,” “and unclean.”

That picture totally makes me crave a Chinese restaurant buffet right now.

as a Texan, I keep going back and forth between:

At Starbucks tips are pooled weekly and then divided based on hours.

You got the dying alone part right.

This is stealing Rude Negro’s thunder, but the OP is overthinking something that he/she already knows the answer to.

You don’t have to tip every time, but if you frequent a place enough and/or order complex coffee drinks, just tip a buck every other time or two. It’s a dollar. Or if you don’t want to, don’t. Or if you…
