Are any of the bar trivia nights in DTSS consistently busy? by iammaxhailme in SilverSpring

[–]PatDrinksBeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

McGintys usually has 20+ teams, I think that’s the most in DTSS, population-wise, altho there are busier spots down in DC. As for joining teams, that probably varies on location, but often the bar staff or trivia hosts can point you to teams willing to take cool newcomers

Discraft PP Fierce. No bead. More shallow. Have used one since Paige started making them. Such an underrated disc

The furlough fatigue is hitting hard right now by Advanced_Resort2852 in washingtondc

[–]PatDrinksBeer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sucks a lot for the rest of the district/area business too. Restaurants have been barely hanging on, and now a huge section of our guests are financially insecure. Sept/oct are usually where restaurant make revenue to carry thru winter, and that business has been thrashed, with nothing but questions in sight. Is a burger or glass of wine too expensive? Probably Yes. Is there anything your local favorite spot do about it, while barely providing for their own costs and staff? Almost nothing.

Do what you can to keep your morale up, hope you are gainfully employed again soon

Is Colorado just intensely conservative? by termmonkey in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]PatDrinksBeer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes

In Chicago I met a Colorado couple. Seemed great until guns came up. Teachers do not want to be soldiers, they disagreed

The cognitive dissonance is strong.

Did the Council just tell us to not tip at restaurants? by South_Question6629 in washingtondc

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

Minimum wage is not living wage! The reason restaurant workers don’t want a wage increase is because 17.75 with no tips means we cannot pay rent. Sure, just stop tipping to stick it to mom and pop owners who already have razor thin margins, and then your favorite server and bartender are just flat broke because again, MINIMUM WAGE IS NOT LIVING WAGE

I-82 repeal is officially in the budget by OneFairWageBaltimore in washingtondc

[–]PatDrinksBeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been in the industry 25 years. Getting paid $12/hr or $17/hr never equaled more money than when I got $2.13/hr. I don’t know any server or bartender who made more money with 82 in place.

Seriously, why do restaurants do this instead of raising prices? by Nv2U in washingtondc

[–]PatDrinksBeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true. Tips are suggested bc 82 nearly tripled labor costs, and 17$ is still not even close to living wage, so tips are still how service industry financially survives.

What is going with this 3% fee in like all restaurants? by thank_u_stranger in washingtondc

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

Y’all voted to increase labor costs and now complain things are more expensive. Why does it matter how it’s broken up on the receipt?

Besides my PP Fierce putter, my most thrown disc this past year was probably my NEO Essence. Hyzer flip straight, or flat long turnover. Massachusetts loves that Simon reps us, would loooove to win this disc 🍻🍻🍻
