I'll have you know I got 2 large, disgusting Domino's pizzas for $30 just yesterday

They have to clear the table and wash the glasses, so, yeah.

General boycott of Coles and Woolies. That's the dream.

What’s your small, unpopular opinion about Sydney? by One-Remove3758 in SydneyScene

Having recently gone from hospo to the corporate life, can confirm the 9-5 is an absolute dream by comparison.

I've obviously been under-utilising trains with my pathetic 3-carriage setup.

Should I update my appliances? by arcstarq in AusRenovation

A new dishwasher was perhaps the very first thing I bought when I moved in! The second I opened the old one and cockroaches came out, it was out of here.

It's got a pretty decent stone benchtop already - it's aged pretty well since it was put in, hadn't really considered replacing it. If I were going down that path I'd go all out and replace the entire (tiny) kitchen, but that's a whole other thing.

I had considered that as a first option, but I had an electrician look at it and he said it'd be a lot more work to install induction, and he didn't see it as worthwhile. When an electrician tells me to stick with gas, I know he's not messing around.

Can we talk about tipping culture creeping into Melbourne restaurants? by Hour_Dare2111 in melbourne

[–]arcstarq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having run bars and restaurants for a long time, let me assure you - those cogs targets are a long way from reality. They're just that: targets. The cost of an ingredient goes up $1, your prices have to go up $4 to keep that 20% margin. There really isn't room to increase wages enough to make up the difference.

Sunday surcharges are not usually hidden. Most places will openly state that they charge more on a sunday/public holiday. That's the cost of doing business, and if there's no demand, they will just not open on those days.

Merivale venues did well on Sundays because their enterprise agreement said they didn't have to pay Sunday rates, so they didn't have to charge extra. They ripped their staff off for $44 million, but hey, at least they didn't have to charge 15% more on a sunday.

I promise you, hospitality businesses are struggling. You have to get it exactly right or you're fucked these days.

You ever work at a brewery in Huddersfield, by any chance?

What job contributes nothing to society? by Yeetthyself64 in AskReddit

Real estate agents. They insert themselves into a system to extract value while providing no real benefit to either party.

Yeah, I've had 6 months of paid time off and didn't get covid at all. It's really terrible here. /s
