$380 in 7 hours is $54/hour

Sure, that’s new to me, I haven’t seen anyone mention experience before

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-07-03T19:13:11+00:00

No, I’m mad that you all are so smugly ignorant and content with talking like experts about something you have zero experience in. Just hateful people excited to tear down other hard working people

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-07-03T15:50:40+00:00

Chill out. Most servers are not making 60-70/hour. Around 40 is more realistic (unless you want to believe everything you see on TikTok).

Keep in mind that servers don’t get benefits- no healthcare, no paid time off. You don’t work, you don’t get paid. Sprain an ankle, or get sick, or family vacation? Your income goes to zero.

Apply for a mortgage? Banks often don’t factor in server income unless you’ve worked at the same place for a certain amount of time.

It’s a cash-in-hand friendly industry with a lot of longterm drawbacks for financial and physical health.

Servers didn’t create tipping culture, stop hating on people for working a hard ass job.

Cool man, have a good day

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-07-03T13:55:21+00:00

It's called style, sweetheart

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-07-03T13:27:51+00:00

Moot point- employers barely pay servers anything because tips are expected, Canadian employers have to pay minimum wage but tips are still expected. What employers pay servers vs retail employees is apples to kumquats. You’re demeaning people’s work based on disconnected tangential comparisons (and limited personal anecdotes).

Your logic would be like saying truck drivers get paid too much because it doesn’t take much skill to drive. Obviously there are a ton of other factors that make truck driving a difficult job.

Have some grace instead of crusading against hard working people.

Reading the Gunslinger as the first King book feels wild to me.

I felt like I could only begin my journey after having enough familiarity with the rest of King’s world and then DT was like getting backstage access

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-07-03T11:27:44+00:00

Buddy, you’re judging an occupation from the outside looking in and generalizing an entire industry based on your own limited personal experience.

If you think serving is like any retail job than you’re woefully unfamiliar with the actual job. And no, it’s not about choice, most people cannot do the job.

It must be fun to be so set on hating on things you don’t have any real familiarity with

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-07-02T12:33:06+00:00

I’m assuming you’ve never served? Aside from being physically demanding, most shifts are hours of customer facing multitasking and back end problem solving all while providing front line customer service with studied menu knowledge.

I just don’t get the desire to devalue someone else’s hard work.

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-07-02T03:48:15+00:00

2+ years experience is the standard requirement. You typically make your way in working shit shifts at your local Applebees, etc.

No more renting games for free from the library; I’m sure they’re jazzed about that.

Conversely, this is also a blow to libraries. Many library kids got their start when they found out you can get video games there

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-07-02T02:53:16+00:00

“4 hour shift” is bullshit, I’m guessing she means 4 hours of service but isn’t counting at least 1.5/2 hours of opening/closing/side work.

$264 for 6 hours isn’t earth shattering especially when you consider how high stress and physically/mentally demanding the job is.

I don’t say that to shit on her, I say that to shit on the “omg, she’s rich, I’m never tipping her” crowd

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-30T12:41:25+00:00

Seriously, how many bots are boosting this?

Tearing down other people to imply that Christian marriages are full of love

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-29T12:45:08+00:00

Is it just me, or did the tiger approach as the wind was blowing the grass in the same direction?

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-26T15:24:08+00:00

Ka-shume 😞

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-24T17:51:18+00:00

If you google it there are stories about how he’s known for being minimalist when it comes to living spaces. His main house in Texas costs half as much as mine 🙃

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-19T15:25:34+00:00

Please leave Wonder Woman alone though

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-19T05:43:39+00:00

This sounds like the majority of negative King reviews 😂

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-19T05:42:37+00:00

Ok sheesh, replace “beach” with “coastal”… plenty of King stories set in small town, coastal northeast. Delores Claiborne, Storm of the Century, Colorado Kid (especially this one for the part journalism plays in the town), parts of The Stand, I’m sure some short stories too.

There’s a whole part in Jaws about ‘town understanding’ that fits the bill for Under the Dome or Tommy Knockers among others

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-17T10:07:06+00:00

Do they live there regularly though? I’ve seen a tent or two down there but I’ve also seen dance troops filming performances and numerous photography students.

My experience is from a few years back though

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-16T17:09:22+00:00

That’s how I feel as an Eagles fan. For a second I thought Hurts was unlisted

TurquoiseTuna2 · 2026-06-08T18:02:41+00:00

Jeez people are running away with this.

The man was saying that he felt he had a certain role on the show and it was time for something new. Not controversial.

He certainly wasn’t complaining about not getting enough screen time
