You clearly have never worked to support yourself in the service industry, and have little to no concept how most restaurants in this country compensate their front-of-house staff.

They don’t owe you a thing. Being upset because someone gives you money but not how much you wanted is the epitome of greed, and so utterly American.

I am perpetually amazed by the frequency at which I see this particular misspelling. Like, I get rein/reign; horse technology is pretty far in the past at this point. But “paid”? Paid? How do people fuck that up so often?

Technically, any word can have “-ed” added to the end to make it past tense - words like “paid” are relics of an earlier era.

But you can stray once in a while as long as you go home to it?

When you find a good one, you marry it. It may not be perfect, but it will keep you happy for a long time.

Tall plastic sheds are not a good idea.  One gust of wind, and it tumbles and breaks. I have a broken one lying on its back.

Would that also stop all the leaks in this administration?

Sometimes it really is the fault of the server. When she stands over by the bar texting or flirting instead of bringing me my steak which was ready five minutes ago and is rapidly coagulating, the only fault of the manager is not having fired her yet.

If you’re sharing a tab with them,

generally if I went out with a guy and he tipped less than 20%, his night was ending with pornhub.

It’s a choice about treating a fellow human decently.

Since I see bills with tip hints stating 12%, 15% and 18% pre-calculated amounts, I presume that 15% is still kosher.

I’m almost 40, and 7% has NEVER been standard or acceptable

Also, yes, cost of living keeps going up, but wages don’t, so in the restaurant industry that has to be made up with tips.

Why can’t Americans take a step back and make the simple observation that despite the proliferation of fad diets, obesity rates continue to rise?

The lifestyle change happens at goal weight, not for weight loss. No one can operate at a caloric deficit indefinitely, the law of thermodynamics won’t allow it.

the lifestyle is maintaining your new weight once you’ve achieved it.

Give me one reasoned argument for how duck lips are a sign of stupidity...
