The server’s budget is far more important than mine to keep in mind while tipping.

Can the New Yorker investigate whether Steven Wright ever actually had a pony?

I have never seen one of these people in the wild but I know that, were I a server and I saw that? I’d consider the $5 forfeit and make their table my lowest priority. Congrats, dude, you just turned this Chili’s into the passive-aggressive version of Dick’s Last Resort.

This looks like one of those devices writers use in movies to explain how teenage hackers can hack into things like ATMs,  

Every single “prank” where someone breached a computing or network device without authorization was a federal crime. The crimes are videoed.

Flippers don’t hack people. People hack people.

Tipping is a dumb and exploitative practice that allows employers to underpay servers. There is no excuse for it. Abolish it and just pay servers a living wage!

If we can’t protect our infrastructure from a $170 toy, we got no chance against China et al.

OK, so what’s the legitimate point of buying this? The article casually mentions dropping $170 on something without giving a single non-criminal thing to do with it.

You guys are assholes for promoting this. It is never appropriate to suggest people should buy hacking devices to use against others that they dislike. That’s fucked up.

Here’s this neat little electronic device that can break a lot of vital infrastructure if people misuse it. It’s suuuuuuper dangerous according to the authorities but what do those dorks know? Here, spend your hard-earned or illicitly-attained dollars to get one or a dozen. The opportunities for practical jokes are…

Yeah fast food workers don’t get tips, they usually get higher than minimum wage whereas restaurant servers make the $2.95/hour or whatever it is and absolutely rely on tips to make any money.

My standard tip at a sit-down restaurant is 20%, and I very rarely go above or below that amount. I do recognize that when a dining experience is less than ideal it is not the server’s fault most of the time. Even when it is I prefer to cut them some slack unless they were blatantly rude. I figure that I get paid the…

If the DOJ had performed their sworn duty and arrested the treasonous insurrectionists leading the Republican Party, this wouldn’t have happened.

He got the job; now let’s see if he can keep it.

So, the guy who voted to not certify an election now meets regularly with the guy whose job he doesn’t officially acknowledge him holding? 3rd in line doesn’t support democracy in its most basic form?

Per Merriam Webster:

Sorry, the rest of us never signed it.
