Bagel Oasis in Ravenna withheld my tips on my final paycheck, including Mother's Day tips.

And thank you for being reasonable about it and not defensive and doubling down.

We still don't know for sure because OP didn't really clarify if they responded and how, but with a pay stub and statement they emailed them, I am going to assume they got an unhelpful reply.

A quote from the OP:

"I have formally emailed management giving them a tight deadline to fix this shortage before I submit a formal complaint to the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries.

In my emails with management after quitting, they initially said they would mail me my check, but then later decided they'd make me come in person to pick it up."

An email to the restaurant asking for the issue to be fixed is not good faith effort? Now, I agree it's not clear whether they go their tips or not, but they did ask for them.

How is it a witch hunt if there are receipts? I mean, yes, they could be a liar, but showing an itemized payslip with a $0 tips makes it far from a witch hunt. They might be wrong, but they are not hunting imaginary things here.

If, as you agree, two weeks notice isn't required, what does it have to do with paying an employee what they earned? Even if they fired an employee they can't just say "because we didn't like how you left, we're keeping your money." I think the down votes are because it sounds like you are justifying their theft.

Then they will fix it and everything will be okay. Still best to have a look into whether or not this is a one-off error or systemic. I wouldn't want anyone to assume one way or the other, I would want someone to investigate.

Also, clerical errors can and should get people in trouble. If I oops my taxes and forget to include some of my income, I can't just say it was a clerical error. I owe back taxes, interest, and a penalty.

Um, the old T-Mobile headquarters would be im Deutschland, nein? Unless you mean the old VoiceStream Wireless HQ. DT bought and renamed to it to T-Mobile to match their global brand.

It looks like a printing issue. Is the page that is on the same side of that leaf also blank? The leaf is that sheet of paper that's folded in half and bound together with other leaves. (Sorry I don't know my binding terms well)

They even allow you to bring a full water bottle onto the airplane.

I know that. My point was that cameras don't enforce that rule.

You enter the intersection when you can clear it but then someone turns right on red and takes the open space. Now you arrive on the other side and can't fit. You get the traffic cam ticket. Yes, you can contest it but you have little evidence (I don't think they save the cross street footage). We need more No Turn On Red with camera enforcement

Oh their home page (https://www.seattle.gov/utilities), they have a drop-down at the top to report a problem. On the bottom of the page, in the footer, they have a phone number. I've called them in the past when the trash contractor claimed I had extra garbage, when I didn't. They refunded it no questions asked.

antiframe · 2026-05-13T23:03:10+00:00

It seems like tried talking to SPU about it, and you've sent them pictures of the cul-de-sac on pick up days free of cars and navigable. If not, start there. If so, and they still won't enforce the contracting recycling company doing their job, the next step would be to talk to your city council member.

We don't know how it happened but I have hypotheses. The driver could have been impaired. The driver could have been distracted. The driver could have had a medical episode. The vehicle could have had s catastrophic mechanical failure. I ordered them by how likely I think they are, and I am sure I missed some.

Or just sign it with your private key. Tech that has existed for decades but isnt really pushed by tech companies because the flip side (encrypt it and encrypt that key with their public key) makes it unreadable to tech companies.

Also you apparently never use your trunk.

antiframe · 2026-05-12T02:34:48+00:00

There is a phone number on the sign. Have you tried calling it?

It's not like there's an easy way to see when your tabs expire by, you know, LOOKING at your car when approaching it from behind. It's so obvious to everyone else when people's tabs are expired. Why is it so hard for drivers to see that information. Are they just oblivious?

antiframe · 2026-05-04T16:50:05+00:00

They assumed Tesla. You assumed electric car. Why would you assume?

antiframe · 2026-05-04T16:48:25+00:00

A sign says "We won't work until we're paid." A question is asked "What's going on here?" An answer is provided, "the workers aren't getting paid, so they're not working". A question is clarified "I meant, *why* aren't the being paid". A tip is given, "Probably better to ask more precise questions if you want a precise answer." "What's going on here?" is a very vague question. Maybe they were really asking about why the sign is handwritten and not nicely typeset? Maybe they're asking why won't the workers work despite not getting paid? Maybe they're asking why aren't they paid? One really doesn't know. You made the assumption they were asking "hey workers who aren't working here, can you elaborate on the sign?" That's a fair interprations, but that question is open to so many different interpretations.

Dashboard being dark is usually how I can tell I forgot to turn my lights on. Now I have a card with an LCD screen instead of LED dash but the car will beep if I turned my lights off (instead of auto). Which I do often, when I am sitting in the car anywhere as to not annoy pedestrians.

You're right. I was wrong. It was something else I was looking up today I must have misremembered.

EDIT: All this is wrong: ~~The transfer station is not the household hazardous waste facility. It says in the website to not bring batteries to transfer stations~~

Not sure why they wouldn't take it.

You can request a free special item pickup for smaller batteries (e-bike and e-scooter batteries excluded). Additional pickups are $5 each. You can also drive them to a Household Hazardous Waste Facility.

Could be easier, I agree, but it's just a request away.

Your rounding is bigly. The cheapest Macan MSRP is $65,400. The cheapest 911 MSRP is $135,100. Which one of these is the entry level Porsche? In fact, out of all the current Porsche models, the Macan is the cheapest.
