This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

I used to wait tables. Made a couple dollars an hour plus tips, and it was a decent wage.

From that perspective, I get it, but I also can't stand that everyone demands tips these days. As a consumer, I'm far more inclined to visit a place with a no tip policy. In fact, I make it a point to not return to places that push their guilt trip tip iPads in my face before they've even performed a service. I have tipping fatigue and limited funds.

$30 does seem like a competitive wage there. Provided they get the hours to work, I'm sure many people would be happy with that pay. The protesting workers should probably seek work elsewhere instead of dictating terms this early in their employment.

The article mentions that kitchen staff should be making $30 as well, so yeah, if that's not part of the owners' offer, more power to these workers. No tipping only works if the entire staff makes that same competitive wage, which is what they should be making anyway.

Not sure what the bit about bartenders is about. They're just disappointed because they'll make less without tips? I don't see how that's healthy or sustainable for one group of the workers to have a much higher earning potential than the rest.

I really hope this can get resolved and doesn't turn into an anecdote for keeping tipping around.
