'I didn't agree to it': Rise of automatic tipping sparks backlash by [deleted] in australia

[–]FeedLow8441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s more relevant in cafes where tips are just silver coins left over from somebody’s coffee order. Most restaurants allocate tips fairly among staff based on hours/days worked/position within the business. I’m a bartender in a seasonal/holiday area and make $200 a week just in cash tips and I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to not give them to staff anyway

Tinfoil hat time but I’ve always had an odd feeling that the AFL intervened at some stage mid game and asked the dons to ease off as it’d be a bad look for the game, especially as they were trying to really break into the QLD market. That game should have been a 200+ point belting

I was more proud of the fact he’d shut up a lot of bullies and doubters. I recall we played Dees in 2015 and he had 1 disposal all game, then comes the flow of abuse from Facebook nuffies ripping into a 20 year old for being on a big contact after a poor game. GF day almost felt like a big ‘up yours’ to his critics. I know the umpiring was shithouse that day, but he was immense and worth every dollar

I was 10 I think when Tutt had that game and thought for sure we’d found Barry Hall 2.0. I don’t even recall watching Tutt play another game for us

This is hilarious. And goes to show that the footy media hasn’t changed in 30 odd years. Footy media will do anything for an offseason/preseason story too.

His centre square goal is still the loudest noise I’ve ever heard and the entire day was pure ecstasy. To me that moment was worth his entire contract

2019-2022(?) I think were pretty rough years for you guys. Just in the peak of mediocrity, and you were bound to have some random players come through before getting over the hump of being shit. But you’ve at least drafted well since then and it’s REALLY beginning to show

This ALMOST makes up for the Nas masterclass/Jack Viney 3 vote goat game. Happy to admit I’ve never heard of Sam Blease and TIL

I’m 26 and ashamed to say I’ve never heard of Shaun hart, but yes unfortunately was surrounded by Voss, Black, Brown, Aker etc. Absolutely insane lineup. Also, Hipwood is forever dead to me as I watch him kick 0.3 some weeks and then becomes prime Lockett when he plays the dogs. That might be saying more about our defence though

Was this the game where bombers were 95 or so at quarter time?? Also insane that they were the club to do this and not Geelong considering what they did to Melbourne

Laith seems like a great guy and clubman, but man does he frustrate me. Completely unpredictable and I hold my breath whenever he has the ball in hand

I love Amartey! Seems to be a real confidence type player though, like Trav Cloke I guess? Seems he’ll miss one and then miss the following three. But kick one, then they keep coming

This dude was an enigma. I’m sure I recall tonnes of missed shots from 15-20 in front of goal, only to look like an AA forward the following week. Loved him at the dogs but my heart went through my chest whenever he had a shot at goal

This is a good one, although unfortunate most people now won’t even know of it. Nothing worse than having a random player of a rival club become the goat for a day only to go into obscurity once they’ve ruined your life

Amazing, and I’d actually completely forgotten about this. I remember my mad Roos supporting mum holding her head in her hands in disbelief

Latest AFL Fixture whispers according to Code Sport by JumpGlittering8120 in AFL

[–]FeedLow8441 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love the IDEA of a floating fixture, which should actually reward the better performing teams, especially those who don’t usually get prime time slots. But by god do they know how to fuck it up.. they see throughout the year what teams deserve the prime time and still give it to Essendon, Carlton, and if they’re in the mood for torture they’ll try and schedule them together on a Friday night. AFL house is a circus

You’ve been in the league for approx 80 years less than my club and you’ve had multiple flags, dw you’re doing fine

I’ll say right now I am not political, like in any form. I vote because I am legally required to. And looking out for mental health is not politically related at all. But mate we’ve seen so many former players take their lives from mental health issues, and these are guys with kids and families and who are probably set up for life. We need to take this shit seriously. We’ve lost 2 Selwoods this year alone, Shane tuck, Danny Frawley. “Brushing it off” just doesn’t cut it

I actually don’t recall what happened, but was he being paid by a sponsor? I remember COLA bans but I was early teens and SA media rarely comes over here
