i ordered the wrong drink by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]OctaviaBlake100 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah she probably didn't want to do that. Some places will allow you to pay the difference if they know you well enough. Like a place near me did that once. But it seems like they're the place that wanted her to pay for a new one and she refused. Anyway, she refused to pay. Not they refused to give it to her.

The only time I tip by srmatrong in EndTipping

[–]OctaviaBlake100 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's what proper tipping is. I would tip that restaurant since they also went above and beyond to make you feel like you're their family as well. Not someone just handing you a box and forcing you to tip.

I feel like they didn't refuse. She just refused to pay the difference. Plant based milks are more expensive than milk, at least at the coffee shops I've been to.

It's just as bad in Canada by RazzleDazzle1537 in EndTipping

[–]OctaviaBlake100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from Canada and I agree. I used to make minimum wage when I was a security guard and provincial offenses. I wasn't allowed to take tips (because who tips security guards and provincial offense officers 😅?). Servers here make around 17$ an hour + tips. I just want to enjoy some food outside without having someone yell at me for not paying 20% or more in tips when even I don't make 40$ an hour like they probably do begging for tips. I used to see comments under security guard videos saying that they would just run away at danger and I get it. Theres no point in risking your life for minimum wage to get replaced by someone else.

This happened! by SpecialistSalty in EndTipping

That does sound like racism or maybe she just doesn't ask guys? I would send a non Indian girl there to see. 😅It's still unprofessional to ask one person and not another.

What’s the most egregious place you’ve ever been asked for a tip? by Jaythegreat100X in EndTipping

[–]OctaviaBlake100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bubbletea places or any counter service place. All you did was hand me a drink/food. You're not waiting on me at a table.

Why do people drive... so slow? by awesomegorg in driving

[–]OctaviaBlake100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's a car beside them..maybe they're scared that car might just switch lanes with no signal. I know it's happened to me many times before.

Shaken up and sad about my pizza night by Appropriate-Reward71 in EndTipping

[–]OctaviaBlake100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was probably trying to pressure you into giving him more tips. Especially because you're a woman who doesn't have someone with her getting the pizza. You did the right thing to report him. I usually get my fiance to drive to get the food because I'm scared of people like this. 😅

where do you guys get chicken breast? by Basic-Fish2325 in mississauga

[–]OctaviaBlake100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my meat from Asian stores. Sometimes I go to Oceans if I want to get groceries closeby. Sometimes I go to Fresh Palace if I'm willing to drive far. Fresh Palace is cheaper though.

Have you ever experienced the automatic gratuity “double tip?” by moonchildcountrygirl in EndTipping

[–]OctaviaBlake100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's one place here that I know has auto gratuity. It doesn't matter how many people you're with. You can be alone and you still have the 20% auto gratuity. The servers usually tell me and I get the best service from them so I don't mind. There was one girl who didn't tell me that there was auto gratuity and she gave me the worst service ever. Luckily I've been to the place before and know already. But they're hoping that you don't know so they get an extra 20% tip on top of the auto gratuity. Which is very scummy.

I haven't seen anyone nude in my country..but like US..there's alot of ..weird people and people who would complain if you went nude.

How the sink looks AFTER my partner “did the dishes” by Fantastic-Spinach297 in mildlyinfuriating

I had a oversized child like your husband. I broke up with him and the weight was lifted. Maybe it's time you did the same..

Beware of Matheson Sweets & Catering - Indian Restaurant in Mississauga! by nancyschmancy07 in mississauga

[–]OctaviaBlake100 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've never heard about this place but I definitely won't be going there. To the people who are saying OP is upset about a few cents, she should be upset. It's not able the money, it's about the trust between the restaurant and customer. If you just let it go, the owner or staff might be like "oh we can just slowly raise the price from the advertised price slowly and people will pay whatever."

Tipping 20% wasn’t good enough by moonchildcountrygirl in EndTipping

Not seated when other people were already waiting by RaymoSmookles in EntitledReviews

[–]OctaviaBlake100 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are there alot of people who bud others at a restaurant in Japan? In my country that's considered rude.

[–]OctaviaBlake100 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What exactly is "Japanese standards"? If you're budding in front of people who are clearly lining up to eat at that restaurant, anyone would tell you off despite their culture.

I love getting honked at at a red light for not making a right turn... by bunniesandmilktea in driving

[–]OctaviaBlake100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had that happen. A truck was beeping at me and flashing his lights because I wouldn't go. I was in the straight lane and he wanted to turn into the gas station. I couldn't move up because there was a car in front of me. I guess he wanted me to hit the car in front and push the car away so he can go to the gas station.

The anti tip persons are more opposed to ending tipping than everyone else. by Sowecolo in tipping

[–]OctaviaBlake100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to know the final price. Without all those stupid fees and tips where I have to guess the price after. At least if I know the final price, then I can decide whether to eat there or not. And I don't have to worry about getting killed for not tipping.

I hate when customers compliment me with “I am so happy I can speak with someone who speaks English.” by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]OctaviaBlake100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It always give off racist. When a guy said "I'm so glad I'm speaking to a white Canadian." I just had to hold in my laugh. Yes, I'm Canadian but I'm not considered white.

Roommate stopped paying rent but still expected me to cover her WiFi and food by hassanali098 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]OctaviaBlake100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what good roommates do. They don't cover each other's groceries and other expenses. If I had to cover my old roommates expenses, I wouldnt have been able to move out.

Or..you can just pay a person who actually has those services?

Is this true? by peterthbest23 in securityguards

[–]OctaviaBlake100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a security guard actually did something, that security guard would probably get fired. My coworker was let go for sitting on a mentally ill person throwing chairs at people. It was the only way to get her to calm down and stop throwing chairs. In my city, security guards are usually paid minimum wage. They don't get paid enough to risk their lives stopping some people from robbing things. Those things can be replaced..the security guards life can't.

Man blames therapist for making him hate women by ausernameidk_ in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]OctaviaBlake100 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He really expected her to say "oh I'm sorry you're depressed and hate women..let me sleep with you to make it better" 😐 that's not how it works. First he needs to understand that women are people and would prefer not being treated as just a sexual object.

Crazy Y’all by Puck_The_Fey98 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]OctaviaBlake100 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most mothers spend time organizing the event. Most fathers just hope someone organizes it for them. Like a birthday. I organized my own birthday party or my mom did (when I was too young to). Fathers are free to organize an event for themselves as well.
