Effort on behalf of the server. Quality of food makes up a LOT of the difference in price. There are times where you get less food for more money. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

Different quality food makes a difference in cost. A server does not cook the food, they merely take the order and bring it out to you. It is the same amount of work to do this on a $10 meal as it does a $50 meal. I guess I should've stated per plate costs. PER PLATE it is the same amount of work. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

If you want a tip, you have to work for it. It is perfectly fine to go out for a fancy dinner and not tip if the service was not up to par. That said, why is it that 'tipping' is based on a percentage of the meal? A server bringing a $10 meal is doing the same work as one bringing a $50 meal, are they not? --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

The problem is that 'poverty' is often defined as 'relative' poverty and not 'real' poverty. Two different things; and most times people below the poverty line are simply in relative poverty (meaning not able to afford what the median considers 'necessary' (such as new cars, tvs, phones, etc). --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

| MaverickXeo 06/06/18 10:12:37 PM #59 | Mister_Spyker posted... Every culture is built on the sacrifice of another culture. If we have to sacrifice animals for us to live and thrive, then we are justified in doing so. You don't go far if you don't look out for yourself, and this is especially true in the case of the survival of a whole species. If animals had our capabilities they would do the exact same things we do, or even worse, cause animals just don't give a damn. They'll eat their offspring if they're starving, it's just the way it is. That I do agree with. Most farms around here are very humane. A lot of the farmers here are some of the most caring of their animals. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |
