So, you express your opinion on how you think the system is broken by giving less money to the most vulnerable person in the system, which behavior is entirely identical to that of a hypothetical selfish bastard who just doesn't tip because they're cheap?

They pay way less than that. I waited tables for a while during college, and made $2.67 per hour. In DC at the time, I believe minimum wage was somewhere between $7.00 and $8.50

Free country, you can photograph things in public, there are already laws against recording potential high value targets, etc.

Fine, I will. With my disposable remote control avatar. And then make a clean getaway! By logging out! AHahahahaha!

olly olly olly ooooh madbro?

That was. . . the entire other half of the debate *every* group of decorative NPCs had in that game.

You think I can't eat like an animal with chopsticks? Oh-HO!
