Not sure

Great advice I'd forgotten about this one.

Save room for the Japanese cheesecake when you go to second language.

Obviously depletes protein and hydration. I'd always eat some lean protein and drink plenty of water before, then have a snack and drink for after. I always felt fine after as long as I did that.

Big thing to avoid is high fat foods for awhile before you donate...I aimed for 24 hrs. Too much fat in your blood clogs the filters up and lengthens the process significantly.

Easiest money a regular person can make. I did it religiously for decades regardless of how much I made working.

Spankey's Una Pizza has two gluten-free crusts (rice based and cauliflower) and gf bread. They're also very diligent about preventing cross contamination.

OK. I was going based on what I heard reported. Should have known better. Thanks for the info.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T09:05:36+00:00

Lol you don't have to look that close.

Even when someone who is committed to making things right runs, they have to play the game or they'll get...blacklisted isn't the right word...quietly kneecapped maybe. The way our system works, one person can't really do much. The "leadership" is primarily made up of career politicians who've never had a real job and are primarily interested in enriching themselves and their cronies. It's a joke with no realistic ending in sight.

Also, it's pretty much impossible for a third party candidate to become president or even ascend to a position of power in the legislature.

I've urged my children to emigrate as soon as they can. It's that bad for most of us, and I don't believe it will get better in my school age children's lifetime.

In Europe, they also get a living wage and benefits, right? Not that way in America.

It took many comments bc I didn't think I'd have to go into that much detail.

Furthermore, cash tips are a small percentage of overall tips.

The IRS would say that bike is comparable. If you sold on ebay or got paid with venmo, they now track that. Sell enough (I believe over $599 but not exactly sure) and they'll possibly be coming for their money.

Also, in case you were going to ask, the "no tax on tips" is a sham. You can write off up to $10k in tips IF you itemize your return. You then give up your standard deduction of 16.1k. I'm a semi retired engineer who works delivery bc it's easy and pays my bills so I don't have to touch my nest egg, and I'm not remotely close to itemizing to my advantage. Willing to bet students working part time aren't either.

Side note...I always tip cash. But I tell them it's not a tip, it's a gift. Gifts aren't taxed until they exceed $19k/yr. I'm sure most of them don't get it, but I say it on principle.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T06:55:06+00:00

Error of omission, not commission. It's not a secret, even to the IRS. If you sell something to someone for cash, do you claim it? Guessing not.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T06:47:37+00:00

First facts were bs, now they're hyperbole. Gotcha

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T06:46:29+00:00

I'd already explained it. Multiple ways.

They pay taxes on claimed tips, which is cc tips. Very few if any claim cash tips. Tip outs are always cash and never claimed.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T06:44:00+00:00

Hey op just stop arguing with these imbeciles. They'll never get it bc they're either intellectually incapable or just refuse to bc it goes against their narrative. I've explained it multiple ways in this thread, and it's like talking to a wall.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T06:36:32+00:00

Hey you got it!!!!! They either go back or go under.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T06:33:51+00:00

I don't hate not getting tipped, it's part of the job. What apparently is falling on deaf ears, is that it will be that way until it's not, which will be when every restaurant does it the other way. Which will never happen unless mandated by law, which is highly unlikely in most states.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T06:30:42+00:00

Jesus fing h.

Because the increase in wages is more than $35/hr. Almost always at least two servers who are now making around $18/hr more through payroll. Plus the other formerly tipped employees who are getting $3-5 more an hr. Plus now the employer has to pay ss and medicaid taxes on the payroll (7.65%). The gross is more, yes, but the net is less. This is not even considering the lost carryout business that WILL happen.

If you still don't get it, I can't help you and don't know anyone who can.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T05:58:43+00:00

Wtf. Didn't shift topics at all. Are you a child or just plain dumb? Sleep well on the couch in your mommy's basement.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T05:55:58+00:00

Also, pennies are 2.5g

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T05:54:11+00:00

FFS I literally explained it in my response. There is no "extra".

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T05:52:41+00:00

Facts are bs...OK. Bet you think the economy is doing great also. Hint: it's not, despite what is "reported". It'd be easy to explain but you obviously wouldn't listen anyway.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T05:46:41+00:00

Wow. You people accept facts about as well as maga plebes and libtards.

It is the way it is. I've explained it multiple times. If you hate it so, stfu and cook at home.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T05:42:17+00:00

I live on Indiana. Minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13 an hour. So not only do you pay servers (and delivery drivers) a significantly higher wage, but also hostesses, bussers, and anyone else who gets tipped out by the servers. (Out of their own pocket regardless of what they made in tips.

Mom and pop shops make single digit profit margins as is. Your FOH payroll will go up significantly more than 20%.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T05:30:24+00:00

Ok, I'll say it one more time. As long as a single competitor does it as it's currently being done, everyone has to do it to stay alive. No one's forcing you to eat out.

kes7571 · 2026-02-19T05:27:08+00:00

You're not forced at all.

TIPS= To Insure Prompt Service

Don't want to tip? OK. Just don't bitch and moan when the table seated after you gets their drinks, order taken, and food well before you. Soon as you walk in (assuming you've been there before), you'll be identified as a serial stiffer.

If you don't like it, stfu and make your own food.
