To clarify 30-60% of actual, total cash tips. Not 30% of sales *as* tips/ a 30% tip rate.

The bulk of the restaurant business is in very small, independent, owner operator businesses. Resources are fairly tight, and a lot of it is weirdly behind the times.

You are going to hear that people hate it.

“still forcing servers to literally beg (or cajole, or guilt-trip) customers in to paying for their very livelihood and survival?”

“I believe the government assumes an 8% tip for income tax purposes on cash transactions”

“you’ll see that the rounding game people tend to give slightly higher tips than the other two groups.”

With 15 years in FOH *most* restaurants I worked with tipped out credit at the end of the night. I currently wholesale beer to bars and restaurants, a lot of my accounts still do this.

“Are the tips, even those left on a credit card, typically paid out to the servers in cash?”

Yeah. But that means you will likely be handed 12 cents at the end of the night. And it just takes longer and causes more errors to total things out and balance everything up when there’s change all over the place.

Doesn’t matter much. Cash is always nice cause you always get cash now, but a lot of places pay out credit tips in cash at the end of the night.

Correct. It is way harder to steal credit tips. And much easier to prove wage garnishment when they are stolen. 

Taxes. Because of the paper trail all credit tips are reported on payroll for tac withholding.

Apparently salty doesn’t know any servers. Cause people absolutely think “oh one of these assholes”. The extra 12 cents isn’t doing much beyond creating a mild inconvenience, but no one wants the mild inconvenience so your accounting is slightly easier.

1 is run but a bit hokey and doesn’t entirely hold up. 2 is legitimately one of the best games of the type to come out. And 3 is complicated.

I think that’s part and parcel of the bad reaction here. The “photo” didn’t match what you can see through the visor, or much resemble what you can generally see through the quarian’s helmet. Together with the fact that it was literally a lightly shooped (recent) stock photo. What you get is a fan servicey thing that…

They should do what their suppliers do.

In this case, it’s not as though all ingredients are increasing as much as brisket.

A bit missing is the environmental angle. Small fish are often touted these days as a sustainable option. But they’re really, really, really not.

Look for a local equivalent, basically small oily fish with few to no scales there should be one. Small herring and mackerel species are often pretty similar.

Not just that either, apparently she would tank whole bottles of THC concentrate. The kind you’re supposed to consume by the dropperful. Or chow down on enough shrooms to kill a cow.
