Honestly, that’s a good idea and should just be the default for everything.

PRobably against some kind of airline regulation too (or maybe FAs just being diplomatic made it up) but I’m pretty sure there’s some rule about everyone being in assigned seating at take off, and any seat changes an only happen after.

Wowair has done that before to me (required paying extra to reserve seats too), which we found out only after we boarded did not exist, i.e. we reserved seats 35a and 35b, and that row just didnt exist on the plane skipping from 34 to 36 (Which of course had been assigned. It ended up being a clusterfuck as noone’s…

Well the people asking aren’t always dicks, but the point of the article is, the person “refusing” to switch seats is never a dick.

Just want to note that you can distinguish between “kitchen screwups” and the good vs. bad service, and I assume that’s what they mean.

Tips are payment to the servers for service. The most important (if not only part) of service, is delivering food in a timely manner.

IF you’re equating it that way then there’s also no wage problem.

And that’s precisely the benefit of Uber/Lyft. Flexibility. They can instantly pick it up and make some money to make ends meet in between jobs.

What you’re missing is the set up of regulations add a lot of marginal costs at specific times.

Well, the problem you’re running into is - what is a “fair wage”.

There were 2 million protesters out of a total population of 7 million, i.e. barring the elderly or young children who couldn’t physically make it out, I’d say the protesters are the general public.

There were 2 million protestors at one point. I’m sure there’s someone in there waving a Bangladesh flag, or who thinks Odin will save them. Doesn’t mean that’s what every protestor thinks.

You’re also paying for the labor and time. You’re taking up the same pan, same amount of time, and same burner to fry one egg or two eggs.

Well the “nanny state” isn’t necessarily the reason for California’s large economy, but it’s related.

Taking home leftovers (in a scenario where you are purposefully over-ordering) isn’t necessarily a sign of poverty.

Ah, that’s understandable now. I’m guessing there’s the lingering trauma of growing up poor, and thus your understandable aversion to actions from that time.

Well it’s not really damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Do the maths, if it’s costing you more to prepare food for delivery etc. then don’t. If it’s less, then it means it’s profitable (even if lower profit), and continue.

Not really being elitist, but actually makes sense economically. Say typically driving to a restaurant, takes 20 mins, 20 mins back, and say waiting there 10 mins for an order, so even at minimum wage it costs you more than a $4.99 delivery fee.

Just tag it onto an inflation index. Actually, every law should just have that built in.

But that’s not a reason to not have one.
