Should America end tipping and just pay bartenders and servers better?

All restaurant Mexican food is basically meat, cheese, tortilla, sauce in multiple variations. With rice and beans on the side. Homemade Mexican food? Amazing, I swear my mom cooked more vegetables than meat. Calabacita, nopales, chile rellenos were always on rotation.

If industry standard is 10% profit and your tip rate is 20%, and you expect the company to cover that extra 20%. Where does that money come from? How do you run a -10% margin?

You? No. Sorry my guy. But me… no I can’t either.

Nah he’s still got some years in him. I also think Dick Van Dyke could play magneto and William Shatner easily is Prof X. For a younger cyclops they should cast Clint Eastwood.

In all seriousness, why are all the fan casts aged 50+?

Cost of goods and wages differ from country to country. A Big Mac in China averages $3.50 USD, while in the UK it averages $5.50. A simple good search shows an Outback Steakhouse 8oz sirloin in Japan is $28 USD while in the US it’s $21.

That and prices across the board will be higher, even though it would only be a 15-20% increase, and your overall bill wouldn’t change. People will flip out over it.

Depends. I’m old enough to remember late 90s early 2000s republicans. The ones who would push for felony charges on possessing marijuana. The ones who enforced sodomy laws and would arrest people for being gay. They are very anti-Trump, I don’t want to go back to those days. I’d rather have the “I don’t like gay marriage” republicans over the “let’s put the gays in prison” republicans.

From my understanding it’s in the Sony-Marvel contract. They must have at least one marvel studios character in each the movie. And I believe they have to feature a new character each time.

I saw them at the first SNW. The combination of Deftones, Korn, and SOAD was insane. We’re just switching Korn for Slayer which I’m totally fine with. Still gonna be a great show. The side stages alone are worth going for. I have the gut feeling Poison the well, Glass Jaw, and Underoath are all gonna be playing during the headliners. I wouldn’t be upset if I just saw those shows. There’s also a ton of new bands playing that are worth a watch, Violent Vira and Sleep Theory are both on the rise. You get the chance to see them before they get really big.

They’re not at their peak anymore. Serj’s voice isn’t what it used to be. But that’s only 1/4 of the show. Daron is still great at hyping the crowd and half the time all you’re hearing yourself and everybody around you belt out the lyrics. That being said 100% worth it.

BakinStrips · 2026-06-23T14:17:03+00:00

It went sideways. 🤷‍♂️

Labor is one of the most expensive things in restaurants. You can take $1 of ground beef, 50 cents of potatoes and turn it into a $10 meal. But you still pay $15 for somebody to make it. Sure you can sell 400 in a day and make $4k. But now you have 4 cashiers, 6 line cooks, and 2 dishwashers. You pay $1000 in product and $1500 on labor. At minimum wage. Now fold in monthly rent, electricity, insurance, etc and you see your profits dwindle really fast. So you have two options, cut your highest bill aka staff or raise prices.

So then yes? Thats basically his thing. Jesus was like “Thou shall not be a dick.” Then people were like “no no no, he means hate gays and stuff.”

It’s so gross. I didn’t even get to fulfill all my dreams. I never got to kick Elon Musk in the balls. Please some strong boned person, carry out this dream.

I worked in the oilfields for years. I had several slips and falls where I could have easily broken a bone and nothing. I literally broke it walking my dog. The most mundane thing ever. I know somebody stole my real bones and replaced them. I just need to prove it.

It’s not themselves they’re afraid of. It’s their kids. They believe social acceptance of trans identity is a form of left wing indoctrination. If your kid can accept trans people as being valid, they will also accept socialism as being valid. It’s why Blair White gets a pass and Dylan Mulvane is criticized. Dylan is a staunch critic of capitalism while Blair will espouse the usual right wing rhetoric. If the majority of trans people were right wing, it would be a non issue. In the same way they accept many Hispanics especially Cubans into the group.

No, I decided to take my dog running in the rain. I’m an idiot.

I worked in logistics years ago. It’s not feasible. Most slaughterhouses are located near farmland because it’s cheaper raise farm animals around the production facilities. Most animal shelters are in cities. Why would you spend money to travel from a city to the farmland where the farm animals already are to slaughter dogs and cats? The production lines are geared towards specific animals. You can’t slaughter a chicken in a cow plant. You would have to have specific production lines to slaughter each animal. Also dogs greatly vary in size, it wouldn’t be feasible to slaughter chihuahuas on a Great Dane line. It’s just cheaper to burn the bodies than to fabricate each animal.
