He might be 43 now but he is immortal, and will live to see empires rise and fall, the colonization of other worlds, and eventually the end of the universe. It'll just be Snoop out there, floating, free to create a universe in his image, and at that point, he'll change his name to Snoop God.

so your friend's in love with you, right?

keep the food and liquor coming and you'll be fine.

Oh please, tell me more about the system I worked my way up through for a decade from host to server to manager, before becoming an employment lawyer. Tell me all about how the law fixes everything because everyone follows it and it's so cheap and easy to sue them if they don't. Please tell me; I need a good laugh…

I'll take any opportunity I can to post this video.

I finally stopped lurking because YAAAAAAAAAAAAS! I rarely see this pointed out on tipping threads. Pretty much all the large corporate chain restaurants handle tip out that way. Also most if not all have IRS agreements that state that if servers are not claiming 8-10% of TOTAL sales then that money will be allocated…

I have never known a single server that actually succeeded in getting their employer to make up the difference. Not one.

Here's the thing, have you ever done it?

I've worked at six different restaurants. Tip out was based on a sales % rather than a tip % at five of them — the one exception was the rinky-dink locally-owned diner where I started.

We had to spit tips with everyone.... Kitchen always got a set amount and sometimes ended up with more than the servers. I know because I was the one dividing it.

yes, this. If you don't tip the server is essentially paying to serve you.

My best friend is a nurse and she tried to use how shitty her job is as an excuse not to tip. She thinks restaurant workers don't deserve it. I tried to explain that two wrongs don't make a right, and yes her job is hard but she also earns twice what waitresses earn. She just said they were lazy and didn't deserve any…

I hate it when people behave as though giving birth isn't one of the most dangerous things a woman does. For millennia, lots of women died giving childbirth, and it was only recently, with the development of modern medicine, that we've significantly reduced that number. It's still dangerous; women still die. If…

It really is amazing how when people are surrounded by a community that doesn't acknowledge this behaviour as not being okay, and their lives are so insular, they will publicly do and say awful things and not realize how wrong they are. They will post things on facebook or whatever that are so racist or whatever, and…

I bought into that whole "trust your body to fulfill its primal biological destiny" thing and ended up having a failed natural home birth after three days of back labor that ended in a hospital transfer and unwanted cesarean. Yeah, most pregnancies can end in an unmedicated vaginal birth if that's what mom wants but…

You'll see similar arguments against public employee unions all the time (or unions in general): Why should they make a living wage when I'm working a shitty job making minimum with no job guarantees?

Yes, and part of the social contract as currently constructed is that you are expected to tip, because by not doing so, the only person you are punishing is your server.

I can't be the only person who was like WAIT WHAT YOUR NAME IS WHITE WALKER? WHITE WALKER? Also that no one would know that was his real name is so laughable. I get it, it was supposed to be a sacred "my true self" kind of exchange, but you know Smoking Gun would be all over that in a second. It would be on every…
