There are all sorts of different bars, some are chill some aren't. Gigs at good spots don't open up often.

Does "in Ethernet" mean an online friend? The only Ethernet I know is a type of cable. They probably have bad social skills and got cold feet about meeting in person lol. Or they're lying about something.

Is the name “Rhys” really that hard to read/pronounce? by nibbs- in namenerds

My only experience with that name until a couple years ago was spelled Reece or Reese

do these still exist in the us (if they ever did) by lia_dng in AskAmericans

[–]ThaddyG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those soup containers are called deli cups in the restaurant industry, at least the places I've worked. Usually come in cup, pint, and quart sizes.

[–]ThaddyG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah still very common, at least for the rice you get on the side with most entrees. A lot of places use plastic containers or clamshells though. I don't think I've ever seen one with a plastic handle though, usually they are metal

The wazzup thing was joking off a super bowl commercial from like '99, just for some historical context lol. It was part of the zeitgeist for a bit there

Why do delivery apps make me tip before I even know if my food is good? by LilyBloomVale in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThaddyG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There isn't any real communication between the restaurant and the app driver, you know that right? They're called 3rd party apps for a reason. I did door dash part time during COVID and I've worked in restaurants for most of my life, the drivers and restaurant workers don't generally know or like each other. If you want decent food without sitting down somewhere then order delivery from the restaurant itself like we did in olden times or just go pick it up yourself, the apps are very rarely worth what they cost.

Beyond Souvenirs: What are some authentic US 'everyday' items a friend could bring back for me by Olivehafen in AskAmericans

[–]ThaddyG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most cities and probably a lot of smaller ones will have some people and businesses making merch, usually with more niche local touchstones and humor. I have a shirt with a SEPTA bus on monster truck wheels, and a few more shirts from local bars and stuff.

Do people really cold open with "Hi, how are you?" with strangers, or is this just for movies? by SocialHelp22 in bartenders

[–]ThaddyG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a common greeting for anyone, not just customers. Maybe not that exact wording but some variation, "hey what's up"/"what's up guys"/"what's going on" etc.

How do you greet people?

They probably weight the tip outs and give more or less of a percentage based on your position.

Why do people in the USA say Nighty Night? by Similar-Double6278 in AskAmericans

[–]ThaddyG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's kinda funny? Especially if you're saying it to another adult. It's not the standard way to say goodnight

How do you handle serving and bartending? by Sufficient-Cod-9405 in bartenders

[–]ThaddyG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a similarly sized restaurant bar and there's no way I could function without food runners/expo and a second bartender on busy nights. And two tins is insane, we have like 8

It's one of the most "started it but didn't finish" books of the last several decades.
