She did slip in 1 negro and 1 whitey, but the rest were exclusively Mexicans who illegally immigrated to the U.S.

Also, who made up the rules as to which jobs deserve tips and which don't?

Food servers, bell boys, valets, car detailers, barbers. But fuck a cashier, doctor, movie theater workers, retail associates, etc.?

Yes it is arbitrary, but wait staff are literally paid below minimum wage because they are expected to receive tips. Like, two dollars an hour. Two ****ing dollars an hour. Tip them or else you are essentially stealing from them.

But why don't restaurants just pay their workers a living wage instead of relying on tips? I've heard that in Europe that the tip is automatically built into the menu prices. Why not just do that? Same difference.

EDIT: And if restaurants workers don't make minimum wage, doesn't the owner make up the difference? Also, don't most food workers not report their tips, thus getting them tax free?

Dude, stop being a cheap ****. Restaurants don't pay their workers a living wage because they aren't required to so stop being a bitch and just front five extra bucks. If you're so poor you can't do that then just come to Burger King and make our life miserable cause no one will care.

Dude, if I pay $16 USD per person for food and get horrible service, then fuck them. No way my meal was worth $16 to begin with. I'm not there to cover their horrible business practices.

I usually tip 20%, but when we had to wait forever, they got both our drink orders wrong, messed up my food order and sat us next to a crying baby, then no, I didn't tip. Dick.

Also, fast food restaurants serve everything in paper/cardboard containers and wrappers, but only have trash cans there for when you're done. Why not recycle bins?

Do you get a paycheck that you agreed to? Are you actively trying to advance yourself to get bigger paychecks? No? Sounds like you are content with your station in life. Not my fault buddy. Don't expect others to over-compensate you for your chosen ****ty lot in life.

Pedals????

Leave the math to the grownups son.

At the doctors the other day my BP was 181/106. Two days back on the meds and it was 126/82.
