I do not do the charity thing that's bullshit, yo Walmart you're worth billions, you donate to charity stop asking me to do it.

If this keeps up, everyone should have a tip job at their place of employment.
Still trying to remember when tips when from about 7% to 20%. Really? I need to pay you $20 for bringing me food and keeping my drink filled? Unfortunately, it will be like the airlines and their added fees; even when the price goes down, nothing will change because we have gotten 'used' to it.

I refused to let them put a smart meter on my house. Guess they are making me pay for it now
My most expensive gas bill before was 100 dollars, now after their rate change during the winter I come in over 200 now...it's some serious bullshit.

Nothing makes me happier than companies without any competition hiking their rates just cause.

I have always used the divide by 7 rule, and have not changed. As the price goes up the tip goes up. Unless it's horrendous service, or really good, then change appropriately.

I'm sure it's happened somewhere, sometime, but I worked in restaurants for about 10 years and that sort of thing wouldn't fly at any spot I worked. That's just foul.

He's also one person, if he had a wife and a kid or kids that isn't doable at all.

Is that not healthy? Half those meals are pretty healthy no?

Blood pressure is perfect. I dont have any bad cholesterol but I dont have any good cholesterol either. Just starting to notice I gain some weight in the winter when I dont golf but still within 2 lbs of what I weighed when I was 22.

Just because someone else cooks it doesn't necessarily mean its bad. Get brown rice and chicken and steak thats it at Chipotle. And I eat blueberries or blackberries a couple times a week!

It absolutely depends on where you work. Where my daughters worked, it wouldn't happen because all the employees actually cared about their work and the customers. It was a locally-owned place and they were really close to the owner. It was about pride and excellence for that crew.

But go across the street to Perkins and the meth heads cooking at that place might spit in your food just because, before you ever did anything to piss them off.

Around here it's fairly easy to spot the offenders. They're the ones with numerous health code violations.

That would be in a package of like three cashews.

I don’t get my hair cut until my wife starts telling me that I look like an old lady from behind. The girl that cuts my hair charges $22 and I pay her $30. But she went to school with my sons and I used to work with her brother.

We pretty much stopped eating out when I got cancer, mainly because I don’t have much of an appetite. If we do it’s usually a 20% tip for good service. If we take the kids and grandkids, we tip 25% because we act like a bunch of vikings.

We have plenty of kids growing up in our community but it seems they're not filling the jobs either.
:thumb:

This is a hidden issue for restaurants and other low paying jobs in high end areas. How to find low cost workers when average rent is $2,500-$3,000 a month and gas is $3.50-$4.00 a gallon.

I never realized this problem until like 10 years ago when I lived outside DC in Ashburn, Loudoun County and a restaurant owner told me about this issue.

Loudoun County is the #1 highest per capita income in the US for the last 10-15 years

We should just have a repository thread of all the reeruned made up stuff and call it something like BWillie's reeruned Second Life, like eating out 15 times a week and acting clueless as to why food costs so much.

I thought you were going to NICE restaurants and treating yourself to steaks, lobster, scallops, fancy apps, pricey wine and desserts.

You're eating shit! ROFL
