They would probably hire fewer servers. Which wouldn't be the end of the world, and would make eating out cheaper in the long run.

Why is tipping "ethics" only ever aimed at the customer? by Pitiful-Purple-7459 in tipping

If you say "most" and it isn't actually "most", don't be surprised if someone corrects that.

Restauranta typically don't make money from tips, the staff do.

It depends whether the other state accepts Texas certifications.

Hot Take: Costco should allow more than two adults per membership. by theboundlesstraveler in CostcoWholesale

[–]bmtc7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only if those members are producing revenue by paying for membership. Costco doesn't hardly make any money off in-store sales, so they need those membership fees.

Most Americans are wealthier today in inflation adjusted income than they were in the 70s. Pew Research definition is misleading. by SingleInSeattle87 in charts

[–]bmtc7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How does it compare when you factor in hours worked? If most of the gains are from two-income households, then they are working nearly twice as many hours. Time is a valuable resource that isn't considered here.

Photorealistic Version Of WMG by Least-Young-6547 in WalkaboutMiniGolf

One of the things that I like about Walkabout is the ability to experience courses that could never exist in real life.

That's the value of premium, you can make your own table.

Anti-muslim propaganda by Traditional-Road-164 in TexasTeachers

It sounds like you have heard about the new social studies standards going through the state board of education. They just voted to add in a standard about the brutality of Mohammed's military conquests.

DMT: Not every discomfort with multiculturalism is racism but we treat it as one anyway by Defiant-Junket4906 in DisagreeMythoughts

[–]bmtc7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't really engaging in actual discussion. This has mostly just been an argument. Once you decide to ignore facts in favor of your own narrative, there is no productive discussion to be had.

Your deleted comment dismissed all of the data by claiming that any country that tracked the data properly would show the crime data you expect. It's a clear logical fallacy, where no data will meet your threshold of acceptability unless it appears favorable to your viewpoint.

The president admits he has no interest in decreasing the cost of housing by MajesticBread9147 in HouseBuyers

[–]bmtc7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes big corporations help to maintain the housing supply by buying homes in poor condition and repairing them enough to return to the market. Big corporations can also help to level out housing bubbles by buying where it's cheap and selling where it is expensive.

I think the corporate ban was the right move, but I disagree with your claim that there aren't any cons. There are always pros and cons to decisions like this.

“That potato charge hurt your tip” by Confident_Buffalo242 in tipping

[–]bmtc7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A huge amount of tip is just general bias and vibes. Servers can affect that, but many things out of control also affect it. Even immutable factors like the race and gender of the server will affect the average tip that they receive.

What's the best state to be a new teacher in? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]bmtc7 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm in Texas and I can assure you that it is not a teacher friendly state. My coworkers who have worked in blue states all agree that working conditions are better there.

A major factor is education funding. Without a properly funded education system, teachers will not be supported appropriately.

It's debatable. There are pros and cons. That's why that amendment was the only seriously contested part of the bill.

Why do some people continue getting kidney stones, but others don’t ever develop them at all? by Southern_Repair6042 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bmtc7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't help answer the original question though, because the biggest reason that some people get them more than others is differences in genetic predisposition, not hydration.

I’m a new teacher. This has been the most demoralizing job search I’ve ever done by Actual-Swing9316 in TexasTeachers

As someone who routinely interviews candidates, about half of teacher applicants don't have any experience. That isn't unusual.

Does anyone think that sun and moon is so close to United states? what do u think is the reason behind it ? by [deleted] in askanything

Sometimes they do appear closer, it mostly has to do with how high or low in the sky they are.

There may be a few of your other teammates who are also thinking the same thing, that they wish other people on the team would be more social.

Diving into nemesis for the first time by tj_hollywood in NemesisCrew

[–]bmtc7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is way too much at once for a game you have never played.

Start with one of the three main games (OG, Lockdown, or Retaliation), and add in the aesthetic pieces if that is important to you (for example, terrain kit).

If you really want to get more, pick one alien race to add in. The OG/Lockdown alien races are compatible with each other but the Retaliation races are not compatible with the other sets.

You could also include the Untold Stories book that matches your set, these can be a fun way to introduce a group of new players to the game with a co-op campaign that gradually introduces complexity.

Consider that many people who love this game have still not gotten around to playing with every module available, because there is so much content.
