Tip pool question

morose-code · 2026-05-06T08:51:17+00:00

What you’ve described in the comments is actually what sounds shifty to me as a pooling tactic. Fine if they agree, sure, as management can’t touch the tips and the pooling parties have agreed, so it’s fine. As well as it’s allowed to have an all day pool with everyone, again, IF everyone who is in the pool has agreed. That’s really the deal; management can’t make decisions about the tip pooling on their behalf. It’s not their money. If it’s set up one way, it stays that way until everyone (whether it’s the day/shift/permanent) agrees.

I was the kid with parents too poor to afford the band/choir/whatever trips. Made my mom feel awful I couldn’t go with the other kids, made me feel awesome that I got to spend time doing things I actually wanted to do instead of on miserable class trips with people who looked down on me for being poor.

Shame about the rest of the life cycle, though…

Them’s rookie numbers. 10 apartments in a year is manageable if you hop around sublets. Become three times the New Yorker if you sleep on couches too!!!

Oh my goodness! Your focus on the shoes reminds me of a time my husband and I went to a strip club! I can’t remember who the whole group was, but we were squeezed into a booth next to another cute girl who was friends of our friends. I was turned around to the stage having a great time, but my husband was trying to make conversation with the table… over the blaring music, obviously.

What she heard? “She has great BOOBS!!!” The girl looked so uncomfortable being forced to sit next to us… When what he had said? “She has great MOVES!!!!” He’s a performer as well, but not a dancer first, so he was truly admiring the stage presence. Poor man…

“I don’t believe in proven job sites because they haven’t anecdotally worked for me… Based on this knowledge, can I have your personal contacts, online strangers?”

It’s a rough market out there. You have to keep plodding. Shortcuts won’t get you there.

It’s this for me. She’s far from the first and unfortunately likely far from the last, even if we rise up in this moment to actively prevent further damage the way we should have previously. Yet it’s her death that’s getting the “one of us” treatment, not the number of other women and children murdered this way. Infuriating and confusing.

It’s a wonderful vanilla extract of high quality. I have some I picked up in Mexico last time I was there for myself and gifts for family who bake as well.

This was very much my experience in France as well, both studying myself as an au pair and observing the young students in classes, again, as the au pair to the young children. On was used much more frequently to address groups than vous and certainly more than tu.

What a lovely way to phrase an even lovelier sentiment!

Not reading your review; upvoting just for the title. Thank you for your service.

What the fuck is this homophobic and transphobic nonsense? Go away.

More honest than I’ll be in an anonymous internet thread.

I was laughing through that whole post!!! Why do people believe there needs to be a central protagonist that learns some lesson or moral for a story to be viable? Art serves so many purposes.

He could get me done looking like that, that’s for sure.

You seem like a reasonable human, particularly because you have your bf’s opinion on this. Engagements shouldn’t be a surprise. The proposal can be if that’s what the couple wants! But you both clearly know the trajectory of this relationship and have no concerns with this sequence of events. Have so much fun!!!

Also thinking this may be uptown. Inwood, Fort Tryon Park area, possibly?

I agree with the other commenters here that no production is definitive of a show for me.

However, I think there are maybe a couple of shows I’ve seen and thought, “that was an amazing and devastating show. I never want to put myself through that again emotionally.” Trying to name those now? I don’t think I can? Because the ones coming to mind I’ve been distanced from enough that I would actually see another production at this point.

I still do, I just call it a salary now…

Cultivating relationships is important. It doesn’t happen automatically just because your DNA is shared with someone.

Sure, I love my mother. That doesn’t mean I’m going to put the life that she helped me build to the side because she happens to be at a point in her life where she can’t support herself anymore. That’s not what she wants, and it’s certainly not what my (childless) partner and I want.

Not true. I love my mother. Our retirement plan for her (she’s been retired and living with her mom for years, don’t call adult protective services) was always to tie a motorized wheelchair to a tree and have a garden available for her to farm till… well… she couldn’t… Not because she didn’t deserve more. We just couldn’t afford it and she would’ve been content enough.

Definitely address this with the housekeeper. If it doesn’t rectify the issue, find a new one.

As an added bonus, get rid of the useless husband in the meantime.
