Counterpoint: Joejitsu on Newsradio was epic.

I think my big beef with this whole thing is that Ryan and the Republicans weaponized Hillarys pantsuits to paint feminism as out of touch with middle class women. There were constant allusions to her not being “feminine” and her choice of clothes was tied into that. It just seems like so much bullshit hypocrisy from…

They aren’t arbitrary rules. They are established although very imperfect customs. If the current system ended tomorrow you would see an immediate 10-20% rise in dining out costs.

It is free. There is a base level of service that will allow you to keep your job. If the server provides more than that and is not compensated through tips the next time they wait on that person that service will not be provided.

Blame Reagan. It was he who approved the taxation of tips as income and thus allowed the industry to suppress wages.

Good counterpoint. i live in middle america. Just like skinny jeans and elderflower drinks it may take a while for us to catch up. I can tell you that in the great state of Ohio if you go shitting on everyone for leaving 15% you will be out of a job

I literally do this for a living. Over the course of a year my average percentage on total sales is 22%. That number is inflated by a group of regulars who do tip 25-30. The population as a whole still tips 15-18. Does a server want $4 on $20 instead of $3? Absolutely. But if you come in don’t make a fuss then 15% is…

#1. Portioning into 3 oz soufflé cups takes more time than dumping into 60 oz tubs. If you don’t know that you have never ever worked in a kitchen

Literally no server “expects” 25% tips. 15 has always been the norm and 20 makes you really cool.

It is but you have no idea how economies of scale and mass production work.

If you do it for one you must do it for all. There is a tipping point of customer service where special requests must either be adopted as regular practice or refused outright and the subsequent loss is accepted. If the special request is accepted it generally means more work for existing employees with no…

He actually stuffs mice into beer bottles so Rick can get free beer.

It just depends what impresses you. To me its a difference of power vs explosion. To me deadlifts represent the best example of power and floor to ceiling bar is the best example of explosion.

WHat those animals did in Bowling Green was horrific. The worst was after the carnage came the wanton looting of picinic baskets.

Whatever happened to his Wall? I haven’t heard about in a month or more. I guess you always win if you stop keeping score whem you lose.

Precious few chances to work that reference in. Well done.

This guy wouldn’t have made it past that little seasonal novelty aisle right at the front of Targets before my kids overwhelmed him with demands of appeasement for good behavior. We’ve had trips to Target that made me beg for incarceration.

Imagine if we lived in a country that had options of rehabilitation and treatment for drug/mental issues beyond slap on the wrist and life sentence.

If they were properly staffed and the event hadnt been over crowded there would be ample medical staff to deal with a heart attack and have people still at the med station. The concert providers made a choice to oversell and understaff the event in order to maximize profit. Civil law exists to correct these type of…
