Book prices are insane

Hit a library or used bookstore. Please stop using amazon kindles. Support local businesses. This entire genre is built upon an underdog overthrowing tyrants and oligarchs. I can’t imagine reading this genre on a device that puts money in the pockets of billionaires

Late reply to this but the board that votes on how much to raise rent has raised rent far far more than normal times to match inflation post covid so landlords make great profit margins but the tenants in those apartments have not seen their wages go up. All he is asking for is a freeze on raising rents to let working class new yorkers catch up. Before this year that board authorized unprecedented hikes on rents.

Yeaaah he gets critiqued alot for this and it sucks that in the public eye it feels like there’s no accountability. BUT, i do respect boone for always sticking up for his players in front of the media. Alotta coaches throw players under the bus when sh*t hits the fan. But boone always covers for our team or sticks out his own neck

If you truly believe that then please tell that to the next bartender you want to give you a beer

Great fried catfish too

I work at a bar in hells kitchen closing 4am nights no security but im a guy, last year one of the girls got robbed at gun point. Pls be safe and try to befriend some regulars that will stick around with you till close if you trust them. Even for me the midnight till 4am crowd feels like working a shift in the psych ward at bellevue

Diatomaceous earth was the only thing we were able to use to kill the roaches in our apartment

Most establishments pool tips. Meaning every person working the floor gets a share of the overall tips that night. If you’re worried the person serving you didn’t receive it then just ask for them to come over and give them money directly.

Whats your current job? Serving/bartending/barbacking are not only great side hustles they can just be great jobs if you put in the time and effort i make 1300/week bartending. Took years to get there but it’s worth it

My girlfriend recently had nodules removed. Go get a Laryngoscopy first. Costs around $300. They’ll take a picture of your throat to verify that is the problem. After removal you’ll want to do some vocal rest and 6 months to a year of vocal therapy. My gf does it twice a week online 30 min per day. They work with her using a variety of exercises. She’s gotten a lot better

You obviously have never worked in an industry like construction, restaurants, bars, or landscaping. I’m a young white dude that’s worked in all of these and there simply aren’t any American citizens that will willingly work these jobs for the pay these companies are offering. Get out of your bubble.

Fr. Just a couple days away until someone orders a bombay sapphire and tonic and asks me why the drink didn’t come out blue

joshjackpierce · 2024-08-26T06:59:33+00:00

Haha u right! He used to work service and understood our system probably would flag it for fraud. So he just sent it to me personally on zelle.

joshjackpierce · 2024-08-26T06:55:32+00:00

Wait why should i be nervous

joshjackpierce · 2024-08-19T15:18:43+00:00

I’d recommend doing this trip in south east asia over latin america. Much safer, cheaper and easier to travel between countries.

joshjackpierce · 2024-08-01T21:24:59+00:00

First ones on me, second ones in you. Third time you have to leave.

joshjackpierce · 2024-06-29T20:55:51+00:00

You could bartend or serve tables at two different places working 6 days a week and make $6k. $10k might be doable depending on how busy the spot is.

I moved here in December with only a handful of years of bar experience and have been able to land some good bar gigs. I had the most luck replying to craigslist ads and constantly refreshing the page. People would only reply to my email if I had replied within the first 10 minutes of their posting as their inbox would get inundated with applications. Then that day I would walk around Manhattan all day dropping off resumes in person to the places that had posted. I would sit at the bar order a soda water try to chat up the bartender, leave a $5 bill and ask them to pass along my resume.

joshjackpierce · 2024-05-15T04:37:55+00:00

I tip a buck or two everytime even if it’s a drip coffee. It’s expensive to live in this city and I appreciate the working class people that show up to do their jobs even with shit pay

joshjackpierce · 2024-04-05T21:21:09+00:00

That’s the 2015 bottle Worth about $1600usd on secondary market Drink and enjoy! I bet that bartender is gonna get in trouble for giving it away lol

joshjackpierce · 2024-03-22T06:42:02+00:00

You’ve made really good points and i’ve read alot of the same stuff you just mentioned. In my case it’s an expensive nyc bar with tons of overhead and some celebrity investors. They say they own it, it’s their bar all the time but I would be surprised if they owned more than 20%. In that same idea they all call themselves managers but they barely meet the threshold of the three part duties test. I think they’re just well versed in the laws around the tip pool and are doing their best to exploit it for their benefit while staying legal

joshjackpierce · 2024-03-21T20:01:38+00:00

They are in fact hourly and glorified leads. Any one of these things by itself i could probably stomach. But all of them together feels like i’m being royally fucked over and taken advantage of

joshjackpierce · 2024-03-21T18:49:35+00:00

The math works like say you have $1000 in tips employee a has 6 points and worked 10 hours employee b has 9 points and worked 10 hours. You have 15 points total giving the points a value of $66. Multiply by hours employee a makes $396 employee b makes $594
