I zeroed once. Every step in the service was fucking terrible. Hostess couldn't be bothered to do her job so we figured it's be safe to sit at the bar. The bartender never looked at us and a waitress eventually took our order about 20 minutes after sitting down in this empty restaurant. It was about 20* out so I got a…

This. I hate how people think they are entitled to 20% just because they took your order and dropped your food off. I had an order once where after 25 minutes I never received my meal. The waitress was upfront about it and was constantly checking up on the order while making sure my glass of water was full. Despite my…

I haven't gone all the way to zero but I have gone to 5 or 10% maybe twice in the last decade. 99% of my tips are 20%+ but if you come at me angry that you have to serve me, like I'm a burden on your day, yeah - fuck that.

If tips are really wage replacements, then I am paying their wage and I pay for what I get. I get bad days at work, I have them, if the server is just up frontish about that, I am cool with it. I have done the job, some days it is hard to grimace through the shift. If I see that, I empathize, if I see a lazy ass…

Most of my sexual experience has been with one dude that I was with for several years. Sex with him was, I thought, pretty good the vast majority of the time but I was pretty sure it could maybe be better. We broke up recently and I'm sleeping with other people now and am ASTONISHED at how fast sex is over with most…

I can feel some sympathy for her for wanting to wear pants, but she went with jeans. Red or not, male or female, you don't wear jeans to prom! A line must be drawn. Again, to clarify: pants are okay, jeans are not.

For me, and probably a lot of people in their twenties, the thing is that I never had a cable subscription to begin with. After I left home for college, I obviously didn't have a TV subscription in the dorms, and then when I graduated and moved to my own place there didn't seem to be any reason to get cable, aside…

Yes. Finding and not returning = stealing. Sorry to burst your finders keepers bubble, but that's the law and how it works outside of a kindergarten playground. So yes, that makes you a bad person. What if someone forgot to lock their car? They obviously don't care about it, so perfectly alright for you to steal. Or…

Yes. You're just a bad person. Would you think it's wrong to steal $10k in cash from a random person? And a ring is worth far more than cash because of sentimental value.

While I agree with this article... If you need an ambulance, you need an ambulance.

Fifth place in the Lifehacker Office Chair Hive Five. From Lifehacker: "... was designed primarily for people who sit in their chairs for long periods of time working long hours. The design may not win any artsy awards, but its customizable components, add-ons, and independent control over the seat height, arm height,…

Technically, it's people who are convicted of minor domestic violence crimes, not just men. And yes, women get convicted of these things, too!

Yes, maybe it should be mandatory to add a sermon on evolution to every church schedule.

A friend may or may not have tricked me and several others into doing the tampon trick, the ladies put them in our "good girls," the boys in their butts. Also, I think must of us used bourbon. Shockingly, it did not go well! It went better for the ladies, nothing happened. Two of the boys did damage to their butts and…

Yeah, I have to admit that I kind of agree. Men don't have as many choices as women as to what constitutes professional attire. There are negatives to that, I'm sure, that women don't have to deal with, like having to wear long sleeves and ties in summer heat! Also: sounds boring.

Not only did the memo leave out dress guidelines for men (I guess they just innately know that pink polo shirts or sagging pants are inappropriate)

When I was in beauty school (in northern Utah:/ ) it was right next to a planned parenthood. I was in there as moral support for a friend who was talking a pregnancy test. We saw this holier than thou mormon walking past so I went outside to distract her as the girl taking the test was also Mormon and didn't east it…

Actually, I think the Best Buy/Apple analogy is better than the regular-sized clothing analogy. Plus-size clothing represents a smaller market than the regular-sized clothing. It's an important niche, but still a niche, so it's most similar to Apple. Apple products are an important niche in the tech market, but it's…

In California, all servers make standard minimum wage, $8.00 an hour. (I know about the whole $2.25 wage in some states, but in California does not have that).
