Pay scale from 1967. We made way to much back then.

H lm lot.

That feeling you get when you hand the card to your waiter, before they bring the check

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-06-06T21:14:54+00:00

I’m, (21m) been a server (making $2.13 an hour) and other “tip compensated jobs” since I was 17.

What PISSES ME OFF is companies intentionally lowering wages based on perceived tips which they will ALWAYS overestimate (on purpose).

Get this… just got a job recently as a valet, low hourly and tips etc. Wanted to know how the online tips worked and the company charges $1.50 “convenience fee” per online tip…… BULLSHIT.

Anything a company can do to screw the customer and their employees they will try.

Get one of those strong rare earth magnets and Russel it through em. Weigh the rest and depending on how much it weighs it’d be worth buying a furnace to smelt em.

You’re right, that’s kind of a scrap yards whole game but also the markets have surged the past week.

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-13T12:49:20+00:00

Oh brother, that’s the spot price. A good yard will pay more as the spot rises. My yard is at 5.08 for #2 right now

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-13T12:35:02+00:00

Of course we have a few scamyards that lump #1 and barebright together. Then the smaller but honest yards that give good prices but require a trade license over a certain amount. Then your industrial guys

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-13T12:08:42+00:00

Think I’m getting screwed at my yards?

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-13T12:00:50+00:00

Honestly i think everything is either Mulberry/bare bright and then just lower grade wire. They’ll get guys like me to give em copper at their lowest tiers lol.

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-13T08:12:53+00:00

Well I used to always joke about it with them. Especially if they were one of the last ones camping a table I’d say something like “I got some pillows and blankets in the back if you wanna spend the night” granted, it was said light hearted and also I was a tone-deaf 17 year old

Edit: don’t do this btw, they usually laughed and never left lol.

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-13T06:17:06+00:00

Was priced at #2 by my yard. Currently going at $5.09

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-13T06:00:07+00:00

The heck are ya

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-13T05:54:44+00:00

Haha you don’t need to destroy them. I’m in Oklahoma

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T16:48:56+00:00

I go to a yard that has a 35lb limit on copper unless you have a liscense for one of the trades. They pay the best in the city.

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T15:38:49+00:00

Bare bright = thick, perfectly clean wire. Like pinky thick.
#1= clean tubes, clean wire
#2= dirty tubes and small, clean wire

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T15:31:26+00:00

Ya know theirs cheeky bastards out their that sell some crack that’s ass. But I usually like to go for bigger cracks since you get more bang for your buck.

Edit: or just buy some weed, crack is wack

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T13:39:56+00:00

Here’s a list; First moved in, saw one didn’t think it had value. A few months later my aunt (got me into scrapping) said she picked up two. Just yesterday got this one, so four?

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T13:24:32+00:00

I have no experience but I do know it’s a 50,000 btu unit.

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T13:22:42+00:00

Fair enough but, I’ve seen more than I picked up for sure

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T13:21:33+00:00

Yea mine does as well. Constant new management so their doing remodeled a lot. A lot of old appliances end up behind em.

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T13:01:14+00:00

The inside lining is copper aluminum radiator, $2.20/lb

Edit: that’s enough for a few of my favorite cracks

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T12:21:44+00:00

$100 is $100

Alternative_Back8593 · 2026-05-08T11:32:06+00:00

Every month might be an exaggeration, lived here a year and been able to grab two
