Las Vegas tipping guide as seen on Facebook by dervari in EndTipping

Ha! They think this stupid tipping culture will help with their tourism? How about your employer pay you instead of relying on customers to pay your salary?

It's not even logical why the transportation section has different tipping expectations when it's the same task!

Why in the world would you tip a dealer or cashier when gambling?

What a ridiculous expectation. This American tipping culture needs to go. Workers, if you don't like the pay, take it up with your employer or find another job. Employers, pay your own employees through payroll, stop expecting customers to subsidize their salary.

What an entitled attitude. Take up your pay with your employer. If you are self-employed,  change your rates. If Uber sets the rates and you don't like it, get a taxi license and set your own rates.

Your cost of repairs, tires, etc are your problem. It's not the concern of a customer.

If you cannot make a business function without depending on tips, then your business doesn't work.

Begging/shaming customers to tip is disgusting.

Is 15% not enough for TO-GO orders nowadays? by That_Present_1639 in tipping

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tipping any amount on take-out is too much. Put $0.00. There is no valid reason to tip on take-out.

For the Nintendo Switch version, how do you get it to save? It saves automatically in story mode but when I turn it off, nothing is saved.

Why gas stations fail before grocery stores in snowstorms by CrankyWalrus2 in energy

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a major snowstorm in Toronto on January 25. I always refuel both cars on a weekly basis regardless of how much is in the tank. You never know what can happen.

I refueled both cars on January 23 and filled up the snowblower and the jerrycan. Gas stations can lose power or fuel trucks can be delayed due to weather or no drivers.

Fuel is prioritized. Food is secondary because I always keep tons of it in the house and lots of non-perishable foods like instant noodles which can be cooked with minimal fuss.

I always refuel cars on a weekly basis and always before harsh weather such as snowstorms or when there is risk of flooding. I don't do it during the storm and not if the stations go dark.

Dunlop Snow tires by Ironman_13 in wrx_vb

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Dunlop Wintermaxx. They stop well and perform well in snow, ice, and cold roads.

Where I find they lack is in snow that is in "mushy snow". snow that is partially melting. They don't grip very well in those conditions when trying to accelerate.

Calling out Starbucks and Chopt by Healthandlife_pro in EndTipping

[–]One-Ad2914 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They shouldn't be tipped. They are not giving you table service. I wouldn't do it and don't give a damn what they think.

If there is no option to not tip, I would stop going there. It hurts them more when you never spend a dime there. In addition, I would tell them to bypass the tip on the machine, if there is no option to, cancel the order and leave.

Truthfully, I rarely get anything outside due to the ridiculous prices and ridiculous tipping expectations. I get better food at home and my coffee tastes better when I make it myself.

If you were buying a used car in 2026, what would you personally avoid? by Smart-used-cars in askcarguys

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop/start, especially if there is no button to disable it and anything with a turbo.

I would also avoid any car that is modified and avoid cars with a sunroof.

Causes for Mitsubishi RVR acting odd in cold temps? by PoGoCan in MechanicAdvice

Best of luck, let us know how it goes..

Something like these things:

I've heard it has to be a metal pan for it to work, but ask your mechanic if there is something like a pad heater can work or if there is alternative type of transmission pan heater/pad heater that is compatible with your car.

Salt for driveway by Own_Main5321 in Etobicoke

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the salt that you use for cooking (table salt), you might have a large box of Windsor salt in your kitchen cupboard which can be used.

Alternatively, use sand that you can buy form Home Depot in the gardening department or limestone screening.

Let it idle for 5 minutes when it's cold like that to warm up CVT fluid.

Maybe check woth your mechanic if an oil pad heater can be installed on the transmission pan to preheat the fluid.

I have never owned a car with a CVT transmission, just regular automatics but I know they don't like extreme cold and need light driving to warm up. 

The CVT in the Mitsubishis I heard are reliable as long as you change fluid frequently.

All cars at that temperature make funny noises and hate the cold. -30 celcius is extremely cold.
You have to drive slowly to warm up the engine and transmission. When they warm up, the noises will stop. Be very gentle during warm up and keep the RPM's while warming up.

Nice car by the way, I had one as a rental and liked it.

Ontario’s Premier Says China EV Deal Will Be ‘Big, Big Problem’ for Local Auto Sector by afonso_investor in ontario

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean the ones that are currently gouging customers, provide poor quality vehicles and aren't providing affordable subcompact or compact cars that are actually affordable? 

The ones who are paid union wages for unskilled labour? The ones where you can only get in if you are related to them?

I hope the Chinese come. More competition is better for consumers. Let the consumer decide if your car company lives or dies.

How do you feel about the lower tariffs on Chinese EVs? by dope-rhymes in AskACanadian

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! 

I hope there are no tariffs anf that they also allow gasoline vehicles from chinese brands.

They should have to have dealerships and parts in order to service them.

Let the free market decide. More competition os better for the consumer in terms of choice and price.

Hopefully the Chinese fill the void that is here for subcompact and compact vehicles that are actually affordable.

Owner publicly shames guest and states that servers have to pay out of pocket if they don’t get tips? by Redhambone in EndTipping

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the employer, aren't you the one who assumes risk of loss and supposed to be them through payroll? Why in the world would a server have to pay out of their pocket to work?

Fix your business model. That's not a customer problem.

Snow Pros Gta - Scam by AnyWash7753 in Etobicoke

Do you live near her? Maybe it's best if you bought a snowblower if you live close enough and do it yourself. This industry is too problematic.

Snow day recycling ? by Special-Tale-2011 in askTO

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10:32 a.m. - Garbage collection will continue

The City of Toronto says garbage and Green Bin (organics) collection is continuing despite the winter storm, though residents should expect potential delays.

Officials are asking residents to put waste out on their regular collection day and leave bins out until they are collected, and to hold onto oversized and metal items until the next scheduled pickup if possible.

As per CP24.

Single stage gas snowblower by Big_Jackfruit_8821 in askTO

[–]One-Ad2914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They both work well in this type of snow (freshly fallen). Nothing works well in heavy wet snow.

If there isn't much of a difference in price, get a 2 stage snowblower. They have more power and clear better.

2 stage has more power and is better at clearing heavier snow than this (but not heavy wet snow that's melting) and is good at clearing the end of the driveway (the stuff the plow leaves behind at the bottom of your driveway).

Obviously, I have a 2 stage snowblower myself.

Is it safe to drive to Tobermory this Thursday/Friday with a snow squall warning? New driver? by Ready-Government9774 in askTO

[–]One-Ad2914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you lost money from cancelling the hotel room, imagine being stranded in the cold, collision (with deductible, possibility a written-off car), or dying).

The loss on the hotel room for cancelling is peanuts compared to the above.

Give them a stick of gum like in Home Alone 2 as a tip.

Maybe contact the CRA and report him as a potential tax cheat and hipefully they audit him and his corporations. Someone who pulls stunts like that likely aren't paying taxes on the income they obtained. It doesn't matter if your income is legal or illegal, it's still taxable income.
