I was just complaining about this to a co-worker.......everything I buy or any service is like hey....how did we do? I rarely answer unless if was extremely good or extremely bad, but just like tipping, this has gotten to be to much
That one mosquito that gets in your car while you're driving and you can't kill him or get him to go out the window and he bites you 3 different times.
Tried to call the SSA on behalf of someone and the hold time was around an hour and 40 mins. Then when you reach some contractor who doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground you get randomly disconnected and have the pleasure of starting all over again.
i've had this happen in the tropics except it was the mosquito got under the mosquito netting while I was trying to sleep. After that I slept with insect repellent on. There are few things as bad as trying to sleep in un airconditioned shack in Indonesia and getting bitten on the soles of your feet in the middle of the night.
At the risk of sounding like an unempathetic POS, why is this my concern as a consumer? Employers should pay their employees. Also these aren’t indentured servants, these people are allowed to look for other jobs.
I was discussing this in another thread but if we didn’t rely on tips to employees businesses would raise base costs to make up for tips For employees. There are some businesses that do this already and don’t have a tip policy. In the US as a society we’ve collectively decided that we prefer to have a lower base price and then a social pressure to tip to make up for that.
Anyone who watches Tubi might recognize this...: "The dream was to build a sustainable chocolate company." Oh Bite Me!
That's weird bc I've eaten in other countries and I don't remember it being extra expensive. And tipping non-waiters/bartenders is a recent phenomenon. That's never been the norm. How long before a self-checkout kiosk is asking for a tip? I'm serious.
My Roku tv has little dots on the play/pause/progress bar (touch pause or random button and it pops up) that tell you when commercials are incoming, so you can be ready.
Most restaurants run on very thin profit margins. That is why there is a high rate of failure in the industry. Most restaurants aren’t raking it in by relying upon tips to make up for low wages.
Many other countries have better social safety nets that provide for things like healthcare without relying upon the business and the employee.
We could be doing things better here, but I’m not going to pretend that the rest of the world has top notch, affordable healthcare that’s available when you need it. We could go down this road but it’s not worth the back and forth.
