Seriously just fuck tip jars. I got in line and ordered standing up at a counter, they hand me my food on a tray, which I’m now supposed to take to a table and then throw out my trash when I leave. No. Places like that with a tip jar can eat a bag of dicks.

As someone who works at a hotel, the points reward program is actually there to help out with housekeeping and give them less work. (At least for our hotel) In our housekeeping department, not everyone shows up everyday. Maybe someone can’t find a babysitter or their car doesn’t work, etc. and our occupancy varies…

No. If people are working 40 hours a week they should have enough to earn a decent living, not just scrapping by. specially when CEO are getting historically high wages.

Would you tip the cashier $5 when you buy a $1,000 TV? You can afford a thousand for a TV, right?

Many labor laws were written with exceptions for people in service industries and agriculture. This was pretty much done in order to keep wages low for African-Americans, who were disproportionately working in such industry sectors.

Because apparently everyone who became successful in America, are rugged individualists, Ayn Rand disciples, bootstrapped their sagging balls, and virtually received no help from anyone. Like Trump!

Its really more that Americans have so much money they don’t know what to do with it. Housekeeping is not a job that is permissible to pay less on the expectations of tips, unless you’re going on international waters for cruises.

Keep in mind that in the Western world, this is a problem that’s fairly exclusive to the USA, staff in Europe are paid a living wage. If you tip in the EU it’s a courtesy for a job well done, rather than a necessity for the staff to have a half-decent wage.

This is my problem. Instead of expecting guests to help your people make a living wage, how about you pay them a living wage? Raise the room rate by $3 a day and give it all to housekeeping and then we won’t have to make up for your shitty business practices.

How bad is the USA if you need to tip people for doing their jobs? I thought Donald Trump was going to change that? Isn’t that why you all voted for him?

Hotels charge hundreds of dollars a night for a room and we’re supposed to supplement their staff’s wages on top of that? Actually, they’re incentivizing us to not even use the service by offering points for not using housekeeping services at all. Which I find additionally mean to their employees (hey you get to work…

Vile. Ridiculous. Yeah, sniff the pits, sniff the crotch and ass, make a determination and then iron the funk deep down inside. Just because it may not reek to high heaven doesn’t mean it isn’t dirty. Some of these life hacks seem to be posted of sheer desperation to find a hack to write about. I guess we’re running…

I find the drying is the most wearing process. I have t-shirts that are literally over 10 years old that have held up because I just air-dried them.

Then there’s the sephardic haminados, which replaces the water and soy sauce with meat broth/stew and cooks at low temperature over night

What you mentioned above is the Japanese style, works great with ramen etc. The flavor is great a bit sweet. The sugarfree version would be the Chinese style. Essentially, you do similar but without the mirin and the sugar. Crack open the egg but leave the shell on and keep warming it softly for another few hours…

I do not recommend this. Although it may feel fresh, ironing dirty clothes basically bakes on dirt, even if you cannot see it, especially if you live in the city where there is higher concentration of pollution.

And most likely it would seal it into the fabric.

Yeah, this is really gross to me. Sure, you kill all the germs with the iron’s heat, but all the dirt and grime your clothes pick up between the fibers is now getting heated, steamed, and thrown in my face? Eww. If nothing else, any and all perspiration I’ve let my shirt accumulate is now being aerosoled. Not to…

What more can he really say at this point? He hasn’t actually been directly accused of anything in the first place. The source of the story is vague, non-commital and possibly insane anyway. I don’t think he should give the story any more momentum; he’s already addressed it in an interview.

This is pretty reckless of…

Who have you been getting your mayo from?
