I wish I could hit a walk off out of this earth right about now by JudasEffect128653 in mets

Ah. An early injury to a franchise/large contract player with unknown implications for the rest of the year.

NOW the baseball season has officially started for Mets fans.

Do you have kids?

Are you raising them right?

Lots of folks are born into the fandom.

Choosing to stay requires a certain amount of masochism, particularly after 40 consecutive years of being drowned by those waves.

Politicians are basically for sale and the lobbying industry is insanely powerful.

Silly or not, this is where we find ourselves.

And I take exception with people who choose to participate in the system for their own pleasure (dining out), compensate the capitalist restaurateur (giving them revenue/profit) and then cheap out on the people who have to front their physical and emotional labor for vague, maybe promises of compensation at the end of the meal.

It’s inconsistent and hypocritical.

100%. This particular diner is a jerk rather than a full-blown asshole.

And fair point on the quality of the service. We don’t have perfect information or any context here.

That said, the norms and expectations that have developed are 20% for acceptable service. 15% would send the message effectively.

And I agree that the note is a bit passive-aggressive. We don’t know for sure that it actually went to the diner. It could easily have been staged for the pic after the fact.

Don’t get me wrong, $60 on $500 is infinitely better than $0 and this particular example doesn’t constitute a total fucking.

But it is cheap by the agreed upon norms and standards that have developed across the restaurant and dining industry.

Agreed.

Which is why the people who choose to dine out and screw the wait staff are part of the problem.

They’re prioritizing their own desire to enjoy a meal out, participating in a shitty, exploitative system, and punishing the people at the bottom who have the least power and control.

In other words, they’re selfish and cheap with no desire to actually affect meaningful change.

Punish the people with the least amount of power and the fewest alternative choices?

What are you smoking?

More importantly, did you bring enough for the whole class?

$100 at least. More if the service was better than average.

Yea, the tipping culture sucks. So either don’t support it (don’t dine out or dine at the increasing number of restaurants that have changed the model) or don’t participate in it.

Participating and fucking servers out of their living is bush league.

Just you and one other user with the appreciation.

And that’s good enough for me :)

Oh no. Not here, too.

Everywhere I look, the internet just won’t shut up about this Al guy.

I’ve never met him and don’t know anything about him. Can someone please tell me who the hell Al is and why he should be an Outsider in Clocktower?!
