well buddy youre missing a step between getting a house and having kids

Tbf, they did say the steps for them

My ringtone is Gerudo Valley from Zelda. Lots of people I know have a song for a ringtone, tbh

I am a millennial and dont have kids. Nor do I plan of having them. I dont mind them, though. But my BF does has 2, so

Thank goodness one of the things I do know, is that very anti-climatically, Phoenix just informed them in-between games, so there should be no more of that.

AFAIK, they still dont know by the end of Spirit of Justice

Most of them were neutral. And we had some good ones we didnt have many terrible ones. But I usually remember them I dont always remember most of the neutral ones

My current BF started as a hookup like 10 or 11 years ago Different strokes for different folks

I usually read a few at a time. Usually, I try to keep it at 5 or under, though

My cat hates being in water

I've never had a cat that actually liked to get into water. Most of them have liked hanging out on the side of the tub if one of us is in the tub though.

She might do this, though But she will be wary of anyone (or any water) touching her

I didnt know that happened. I mean, I figured it could happen But I also figured if they were that low and messed up, they would just get banned

But I dont see the appeal of commenting something just for the streamer to ignore you because they have an incentive to focus on superchats instead. Some streamers dont even read those.

You have to find the good streamers There are plenty who still get and read all super chats. But will still read others when they see them

Happy Birthday!!!

Couldnt the Pokmon just attack with moves before the lions reach them?

They like percentage because it means more money for no extra work. In terms of actual work the kitchen staff are doing more anyway, yet some of the people here think they don't deserve any portion of the tips. If tipping was based on having to interact with customers then plenty of other professions would deserve tips too.

I agree with this Thats the only reason its percentage based. And the people cooking have all the work on their shoulders with no tip (unless they are at a company that doesnt split tips). Though, that said, they usually get paid more. But again, they are doing a ton of work cooking multiple meals at a time, and cooking them well (hopefully) And there are plenty of other customer facing jobs that dont get tips

That said, I dont mind tipping for exceptional work (or even just being a good waiter) I just dont like its basically frowned upon to not tip (even when they were basically non-existent) And I wish they got paid a normal amount so people dont feel nearly forced to leave something extra

There hasn't been anyone sensible arguing against tipping in this topic.

Id definitely disagree with this statement The people against tips seem to be the sensible ones on the topic. Many have even mentioned ways that would be better for everyone involved is stead of just insulting others

Omega posted...

The only people who argue against tipping are the ignorant slobs who have never worked in the industry before. So sad, so pathetic.

Or sensible people who think the people working should get a livable wage instead of living night to night on tips, just hoping to have a good night just to keep paying their bills

There's no downside. Take less, if you need to, get a 2nd job and make more than what you're losing.

Depends on your job. Im at work right now. And Im on Gamefaqs, playing Switch, reading a book, and watching YouTube all at the same time. Its basically like being at home until I have more work. Why would I want to work here less and get less money, only to get another job where I wont get this kind of free time to make extra money?

Not to mention no overtime. And working overtime gives me great benefits Like extra days off and shit This works for many. But ot just all downsides for me

furb posted...

Yeah. I would being paid more per work hour in your scenario.

Youd also be forced to work less, and have no chance of overtime

rofflemypancake posted...

No that's not what I was trying to ask.

In this scenario you would earn $480 in a week working 20 hours.

Still no I need the money

NittanyLions23 posted...

more time is more money

Except in this case, Im taking a paycut And also working half the time, so less overall

Nope. I need the money

Quick question because I honestly don't know the answer: how has tipping in the USA changed with contactless card/phone payments? In the UK we only had a very small tipping culture to start with, but in the last 2 years, as people have stopped using cash, tipping has been virtually eliminated.

Not much. You either add the tip on the card when paying, or write it on the receipt afterward depending on the place

DarkDoc posted...

I never understand this. Why do people have such trouble distinguishing between affording something and free will? What's so confusing? Just because you have enough money for something doesn't mean you want to buy it, lol. The reason I don't own a Taylor Swift CD is simply because I don't want to own a Taylor Swift CD. It's got nothing to do with whether $10 is too expensive for me, ffs.

If Im at the restaurant, the chance is high that I want to buy the food there So, I no my sure what point youre trying to make

DarkDoc posted...

I doubt people working in a restaurant can remember thousands of customers and whether they tip or not, lol. Plus staff turnover at these places is immense. Also, I've never been in a restaurant where somebody didn't get served because nobody wanted to be their waiter, lol.

And like, if you're going to the same restaurant every night there's a problem...

You dont need to remember everyone. But servers will usually remember regulars, good tippers, bad tippers, and problem causers While I havent been a waiter, I have (and still sort of) worked customer service. You remember certain people very well And I never said they wouldnt get served. But they probably wont get the best service And no one said every night. Even once a week, people remember you

DarkDoc posted...

It's not compulsory. Stop tipping and see what happens.

They usually just remember you, and no one wants to be your waiter, and youll probably get shit service Assuming you return to that place after not tipping, it they know you

DarkDoc posted...

False. In the UK McDonald's bans tipping.

I thinking certain places can ban tipping. But I think they mean banning it nationwide like that for everywhere wouldnt happen

In the UK, after COVID, a lot of bars, cafes and restaurants were struggling to re-hire staff. There were literally adverts for staff up everywhere. Basically, bar staff were able to take their pick, so they went to the ones with better paym as a result, the places paying less found it harder to recruit. In the end, a lot of places went under. I guess it drove up both wages and quality.

raise no prices

I think it would be fine to raise prices as long as its not crazy, and they pay their workers a normal amount

Omega posted...

I wish all American restaurants would just add an automatic 20% gratuity to every ticket. It would solve all of this bullshit.

Probably not. Waiters would still basically demand more tips. And if you didnt leave extra tips on top of gratuity, youd probably still be an asshole since you only left the mandatory amount

Hypnospace posted...

Every single time I see these screenshots or stories of waiters complaining about low tips they're always involving gargantuan orders

Quite honestly if you're going to spend that much on takeout you should definitely tip more. Clearly you can afford it

Not always. It mostly depends on a lot of stuff. Like, when I went out with my cousin, it was to this somewhat more fancy place. The rest of us didnt know much about it, but he did. Some of the stuff was expensive. Because he was there on business, he paid for all the appetizers and his meal, and the rest of us paid for our meal I had even made sure to have enough for the place. I made sure to have enough for the tip based on what I paid for (Especially since the waiter was awesome), but I wouldnt have had enough if the check was split 4 exactly 4 ways, so

Plus, some people dont have a lot of extra. For some people, going out is a treat. And they saved up enough for the food. But dont much left over afterwards for a tip. Just depends on the situation they are in The problem is these days, having enough money for the food isnt an option. You have to have enough to pay for the food, and then have enough extra money to pay the waiter/waitress so you arent an asshole So, that kind of sucks.

LightningThief posted...

You are less important than them. That's not even getting into the hard push to displace responsibility away from the employer, when 100% its the employer.

While I agree that its 100% on the employer, the employees still want to keep tips, since they can make bank on good nights Even though its kind of shitty to try to live when you never know if youll make enough to pay bills and shit Its worse that loving paycheck to paycheck, tbh

Not all the time, but I do often enough. And have had my comments read multiple times Which is kind of cool

Nemu posted...

If you can't afford to tip, you shouldn't be eating out in the first place.

Dumb argument. I can afford the food just fine. What I dont want to pay for is the extra money to pay the waiter the livable wage they should be getting from their job

I played the first area today. I got 12/20 strawberries. I think I just missed some of the branching paths, as that is apparently super easy to do

Tips are dumb. But not all waiters and waitresses want to get rid of them. I remember hearing some say theyd rather keep tips instead of a normal wage since some nights were really good for them. But the same ones will complain on a bad night, so Eh Id rather then have a livable wage. And only tip when theyre a good waiter instead of tips being all by actually mandatory

I hated this game, it felt fraudulent cause it wasn't really good like I hoped it would be.

What about it did you not like?

Gonna try it tonight

I dont think so. I usually want to play more than one thing on it. And in most cases, I know it will have more games that I want to play on it So, I guess not

If you have Game Pass, its available there right now.

No game pass for me That said, Im pretty sure I have it on PlayStation. And Im pretty sure it was a PS+ game

I think I have it on something, but havent had a chance to play it yet But also, have no idea what I have it on
