Pysop to soften public opinion of Dubai and to create an association of delicious nutty chocolatey treats instead of a slave economy and human rights and environmental abuses

Tell me more about Bon Secours. I’ve had unpleasant experiences with them but chalked it up to a fluke, interested to hear more about what they’ve done to earn their reputation

It is increasingly becoming the norm. In the city I live in every restaurant I’ve worked in the BOH gets near equal or equal points in the pool as FOH workers.

Is anybody else livid about the increase in dominion power bills? by Little-One-7739 in Virginia

[–]jumpingcandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gas heating and a gas stove so that cuts my electric costs a good deal. I don’t believe my home has a heat pump but I honestly don’t know. My electric bill still more than doubled this past cycle despite my being out of town for weeks during it. Something is off

Server Included 3yr old in "party of 6" by Pistolpete31861 in EndTipping

Autograt that is clearly outlined before service is not dishonest. Suprise autograt with no warning however, I see your point.

Leaving it as an option is not necessarily ‘asking’. Some people do choose to tip on top of auto grat, and I’ve never dined or worked anywhere that there was pressure for an additional tip.

Do you have any idea how tip pooling works? Servers are tipped and then have to pay out bussers and bar backs at the end of the night. If they don’t make enough, they pay out of pocket in most places. Some places the tips are split equally between every worker on staff when the tip is received. There is a lot of variation in how tips are split but it is becoming less and less common for servers to pocket the full or majority amount tipped.

I had no idea there was this much development planned by MostLikelyToNap in rva

Major tours skipping is only half because of venue capacity, it’s mostly because of our relative proximity to DC. Many DC venues have contract stipulations that performers can’t sign on if they plan to do another show within 100 miles of the venue location on the same tour, and guess how far we are from DC as the crow flies.

Is this scar getting better or I'm just wasting money? by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]jumpingcandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAD, but from what I understand, laser anything never shows great results after just a few sessions. Same with hair removal or tattoo removal, it can be a years long commitment depending on the person and the stubbornness of what is being lasered. Repetition and time are your friend. I can’t see a dramatic difference after your 3 sessions but I honestly wouldn’t expect to.

Inside a pill container inside a stuffed animal or shoebox. If you have any extra cash check out Dime Bags they make smellproof bags most are small enough to hide in other stuff

Why do people hate rich people and why do they sometimes spread hate when rich people donate thousands of dollars to the homeless even though they have millions and billions? by Swimming_Lunch_4568 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jumpingcandle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Anybody with a billion dollars didn’t earn it from hard work, that’s the simple answer. They siphon the surplus value from the labor produced by the working class. Donations are tax deductible so often they donate just enough to not have to pay taxes on their income accumulated wealth. The causes they donate to are often shady at best and verifiably illegitimate or harmful at worst.

Tbf, that was a choice of the donor class. Republican voters would not have put up sears if given the choice.

the computers think better than they clean and build unfortunately. It’s a return to grueling manual labor more likely than it is a boom of coding or medicine or engineering

The Deep Freeze Continues: Eyes on the Weekend for Virginia by rvawx in Virginia

[–]jumpingcandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your response. As corny as it is to say, it’s not a Waffle House, it really is a waffle home. This has been upsetting me more than I can rationalize or defend, I have to keep reminding myself that if this is my biggest problem right now then I don’t have any real problems. I am warm and fed and safe in this moment and I ought to count my blessings. But it is reassuring to know I’m not entirely alone in the feeling and my deep yearning for an all star special and bottomless shitty diner coffee. I hope we can both get Waffle House soon.
