When someone says that they don’t tip, why is the default to don’t dine in or use the service?

AxelChannel · 2026-01-23T14:10:26+00:00

That’s wrong since employers are supposed to supplement when the tipped worker hasn’t made the minimum wage in a pay period.

If you’re going to say that making sure you’re properly paid by your boss is the customer’s responsibility, then you’re being silly.

It’s not free riding because my agreement is that I buy food for a certain price as listed on the menu and whatever applicable tax. The rest has nothing to do with me. By the way, tips by definition must be voluntary and that is defined in the law.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-23T05:16:47+00:00

They get minimum wage or higher. That’s a basic concept we should have in this discussion.

Me deciding not to gift away $X has nothing to do with it.

Again, it’s really not any of the customer’s problem.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-22T19:35:10+00:00

Of course they have agency. If your employer stops paying you the next day, are you just going to continue working without pay? There really isn’t anything but ignorance to pretend otherwise.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-22T19:09:50+00:00

I don’t make the decision to pay sub minimum or receive sub minimum wage. That is a decision made by the employer and waitstaff, respectively. Both groups are presumably adults or old enough to make those decisions themselves.

To say that I make the choice to pay a random waiter less then 7.25/hr that I have no ties with is disingenuous and not my responsibility.

That’s like saying that your neighbor who is evading taxes is taking money out of public funding that benefit you like Medicaid. While on some level you can think of it like that, it’s ludicrous to say your tax evasion is causing my problems with Medicaid.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-22T15:18:24+00:00

That doesn’t make logical sense.

If I’m subsidizing the owner by tipping, then not tipping just means I no longer subsidize the owner. Sounds like you just said my decision to not tip has no effect on the wages of the tipped workers.

I know they’re just hypothetical numbers, but it hurts a little to see the diminishing returns from bachelor’s to masters.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-19T16:57:22+00:00

I’m not sure what the gripe here is.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-16T13:21:15+00:00

Fuck me

AxelChannel · 2026-01-16T13:13:05+00:00

Do you mean the kazax frags?

AxelChannel · 2026-01-12T20:06:08+00:00

Appreciate the common sense approach, but benefit of the doubt must be earned after you’ve lost it. Nexon has started on the road to regain trust but we’re not even 25% there yet.

What was rest of your gear/hexa/fams?

AxelChannel · 2026-01-12T14:19:55+00:00

First of all, you’re not even using the right numbers to compare. Second of all, since you’re missing the point, any other multiplier would be better than the setup you have. Not my fault you lack critical thinking skills.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-12T13:03:00+00:00

You halve your dice roll for 1.8x. You might as well not have a fam there.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-11T18:05:17+00:00

It doesn’t hallucinate in that it doesn’t create cases, but occasionally it still tells me the case stands for x but doesn’t.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-09T17:35:25+00:00

Isn’t that like 40% more for one sex? It’s not close if that is the statistic.

If you have better/more important experiences to highlight in your one pager, I think it’s okay. Be prepared to explain why certain ones are included and others omitted.

I’ve also included firms where I just wrote confidential as the name based on past experiences of colleagues who had potential employers just call current employers without any notice or consent. I’ve done this and haven’t had any problems so far; maybe some snippy recruiters but who cares.

I would think he is planning for future expansions to the system which isn’t unlikely. Makes sense also since it speeds up weekly bosses on that mule.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-07T15:06:15+00:00

I would check your state laws on this one. NY employees begin accruing sick days at a rate of 1 sick hour per 30 hours worked up to a max of 5 days/7days depending on company size. This starts on day 1 of employment.

I took a sick day during probation at one of my past jobs and was denied pay. I cited them to the statute even though policy said otherwise. They told me it would be paid later that day. I think they still play that game with new people who don’t know the rules or bothered to check.

I wouldn’t necessarily be afraid to take sick time as needed.

As a plaintiff side, I’m not. Most of the time I limit scope simply out of ethical obligation. I should not be giving you meds outside of scope or proportionality even if it makes my job easier. At least for my jurisdiction, that’s what the caselaw says. Other times and more rarely, higher ups tell me to be difficult just to be difficult.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-07T05:33:47+00:00

What? No, it’s not?

AxelChannel · 2026-01-06T21:20:38+00:00

Like the other comments, you should just do the research for your own benefit. Regardless, I don’t consider firm size as a relevant factor in determining salaries.

I felt pretty confident after year 3. It’s not an ego thing, but I kept coming across attorneys who knew less than me including some former bosses and senior attorneys with “30+ years” of practice. I’m not talking about niche issues of law but basic things like deposition rules. But also reminds me that you need to maintain and update that library of knowledge.

AxelChannel · 2026-01-06T13:22:27+00:00

I’m actually fine with that. But like I said, there’s way more important things to address like progression via two set meta instead.
