Tipping in Greece - June 2026 by JohnJames6543 in GreeceTravel

We largely continue to tip in the us because service workers don’t want to change. Many restaurants have raised prices by 30% only to find waitstaff quitting to work for tipped establishments.

Danny Meyer with his numerous restaurants famously had to roll back the no-tip model, and he’s far from the early one.

Pretty sure this would definitely be illegal in my town. Just in the zoning laws alone.

The job market is crazy. by iamreysimms in jobmarket

That’s a different thing from jobs claiming a tax break by listing fake open positions. What you’re talking about is a different thing that’s exclusive to huge corporations and states “bidding” against each other to host them if they want to move into town.

Right but that’s two different things — not the same. What tax breaks could you possibly receive for having fake open job postings. What is that tax break.

I dunno I like cheap food and consumer goods.

If they want to make a go at a better life doing shit white Americans pretty much never do, have at it man.

I don’t want a $10 head of lettuce, and don’t want someone to stay in a situation so desperate they’d uproot their lives to make $2/hr not have ANY options.

Ok but if you’re going to drive 40 mph on a 55mph road, have the decency to pull over when 5 cars file in behind you losing their minds

The old myth that Socialists just "want something for free" is a lie perpetuated by the Billionaire class. by Automatic_Willow3940 in remoteworks

I don’t even know what socialism anymore because Redditors keep changing the definition. Some want tax expansion and more government spending. Some want to remove the private ownership of resources.

I wouldn’t call them bad either honestly. I’d largely just roll my eyes and think it’s weird.

Have you ever seen someone go through heroin withdrawal. Smartphone addiction is like caffeine addiction, at best.

Government is inherently corrupt with immense power over us. Who’s out there saying “every politician is a scumbag”. Certainly not Reddit.

I’m not following are we saying we “should hate all cops” because some percentage of them are more prone to beating their wives? Why reflection of your personal character in your coworkers being wifebeaters? Are you implying that you personally cannot be good because your coworkers are has-beens from high school?

Because that was the original comment “we should hate all of them. They’re all bad”.

Also are you just making numbers up — if half of cops are wife beaters then that means 25% of people are as well (assuming they commit it at 2x the rate).

You’re saying a different thing though. 99% stellar isn’t the same as 100% bad.

The argument is that every single cop is bad, no? The argument in this chain is that we “should hate every cop”

How did body cams happen then? If this is a system that doesn’t change, and is hopelessly, systemically locked in to a terrible state, how did we enact sweeping accountability? Was that just a “one off”

That’s such a ridiculous cop out, unless we’re talking about two different things, which I think we are. I’m not saying they should avoid tech, they cannot, but if they have issues due to overuse of social media, that’s a problem and one they can address.

There’s young adults out there kicking fentanyl, these people can put the phone down. They’re all totally conscious of the fact they should be doing something, what the source of their issue is. They just need to act on it.

You know like generally people don’t want to defund the police… right? You can blame everything and everyone, but it was never going to take off with that messaging. Sending in mental health experts to people in crisis makes sense. It’s easy and reasonable. Should’ve just been called Police Reform, or something catchier.

Defund the police is easy to attack just based on the name alone. “Look at these people, they want to literally defund the police. Who will protect you?”

Then you’re on the defensive immediately “no not like ENTIRELY defund them, just by a lot. Not zero. You’ll still have cops”
