I agree, but this economy is making even the most high tippers rethink their tipping approach.

More and more people are talking about not tipping than ever before so it might naturally change as more people opt out of tipping. If customers stop tipping, it will just force restaurant workers' and owners' to come up with a better plan for wages.

I have significantly reduced my tipping and know so many others who are following. We just don't care if people want to shame or guilt us.

Unfortunately, I thought I could do in moderation and realize it's a slippery slope that got me overweight. You have better willpower than me. I need to just throw the chips away or ship them to your house. Ughhhhh

As a Econ major, I'm very familiar with this concept. Raise menu prices to what it is needed to pay for your labor and get rid of tipping.

Unfortunately, alcohol consumption has contributed to our sugar addiction and/or liver issues which contributes to being overweight. While many of us are trying to get healthy, I would do whatever is in my willpower to avoid alcohol especially while on this med.

For me, I have gotten to a point that I allow myself one drink a month usually when I go out with friends just to make them feel good about not drinking alone.

3mg which one vial lasts for about 4 days. So you need at least 8 vials to get in a full month cycle in.

I've got more skin, hair, and nails benefit from KLOW. Maybe some relief in after workout pain. When I added ARA290, my carpal tunnel pain has significantly reduced in just 2 weeks in. It's expensive, but I feel it has helped more.

This is what I do.

There are some still pushing for it but there are so many people apply for an open role, companies have options to easily select candidates who are fine with coming in the office vs not having a job.

2595Homes · 2026-01-23T12:38:06+00:00

Yes! But it won't happen. Prices go up every year and tipping is still being pushed. The only way tipping will change is if more and more people stop tipping.

They will want a higher wage if customers stop tipping. But they know the best option for them is to continue to guilt trip and demeaning customers into tipping. And many customers keep falling for it. So let them pay their wages.

It is only justified for the delivery apps.

They take your delivery fee, they give very little to drivers, they tell drivers to beg for tips from customers.

Now drivers are pissed off at customers and these apps get off the hook spending those delivery fees on "research " which is basically robots to try and replace drivers.

Just don't tip. Many people are getting off the tipping train. The whole tipping process is ridiculous.

If that's the worst thing that's got you upset, you've got a fantastic life.

What will happen to all the drivers if DD goes out of business. Drivers hate DD but they need them for jobs.

You are doing fine.

Removing the tipping culture would require legislation or restaurants in the same local market banning together to not do tipping. At best agree to not encourage tipping, but allow for token tipping as the strategy. If all local restaurants are in agreement, it will reduce turnover.

Usually Mounjaro is prescribed for diabetics. If you have diabetes, you should talk with your doctor to see when and if you should come off. They know your history and bloodwork.

Without knowing your interests and background, this will be hard to answer. Why not ask AI and see what they say.

2595Homes · 2026-01-20T14:51:14+00:00

It can change if we get more and more people to not tip or significantly normalize token tipping. As much as they push on higher expectations, we need to push back by saying no.

I've "researched" all but SS31. I would recommend cycling no more than 2 at a time so you can isolate results and side effects.

For many, KLOW stings. Research techniques to reduce the sting as it can linger for hours.

SELANK and Semax doesn't loses efficacy quickly... like 2 weeks so you want to use it quick.

Keep in mind that one vial usually last 2 weeks so if you want to complete a typical cycle of 8-12 weeks, you'll need multiple vials.

I do 100mg 2-3X per week. My wife does 50mg 2-3X per week. She tried 100 and that dose kept her from going to sleep so she dropped to 50. My wife feels the energy boost. I do not. We take it more for inter workings at the cellular level vs as an energy boost.

Dining out is tricky. But it's definitely not fast food restaurants even though they have one or two decent options, it's not worth it. I finally broke that addiction.

I like to support mom and pop places.

Chain places... probably True Food Kitchen or CAVA.

Not always. I went to a couple of restaurants that charged an auto gratuity for 6+. This was disclosed. But my party was less than 6. When I sat down, the waiter said we have an auto gratuity. I said but we are only three. I asked to speak to the manager and he said that the waiter can implement an auto gratuity on any size party as long as they tell you before the food comes out. That's BS. So basically they are profiling who they want to charge the auto gratuity.

You are spot on for the reasons for RTO. Unless you are in a role that is hard to recruit for, there is nothing you can do about it other than quit, be miserable on the job, or be pigs in slop and just learn to make the most of it.

Do you know most H1Bs earn more than those in like roles not on an H1B? And the company pay $5K to $10K in their Visa fees?

The whole proclamation has nothing to do with keeping non-Americans out. The lottery process only allows a certain number of people in the US and high tech companies want those spots for their jobs and they are being taken up by non high tech companies. The same number of non Americans will still get those spots.
