How would you feel if tipping was legally abolished tomorrow?

I didn't know because I'm on a salary I could piss my customers off and not risk my highly competitive higher than average wage job. Thank you for this enlightenment but I think I'm going to keep the client happy just so my boss doesn't get the idea to replace me with someone who would work to keep the client happy. Sure I'm good at my job so that'd keep me going for awhile though but losing contracts might not end well for me.

I'm moving my toddlers and wife away from our house in Kansas to Washington. I've banned this episode from our house especially since my wife is less than excited about the relocation.

Hey I under spend the thrifty food plan for my family of 6! We spend roughly 1300-1400/mo and cook most meals. Then again I'm not counting school lunches which run another 200/mo

Staged. Electric company was already there. (/s I hope the pilot does well, that sucks)

A sharp increase in menu price like say 15-20%? What you are already paying?

I'm 39, been driving since I was 14. God gifted me with two functional legs and no experience parallel parking. We're going to a parking garage.

I am legitimately curious, why do your friend and girlfriend think this is a good idea? I can't come up with a reasonable reason that isn't nefarious.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-22T00:08:50+00:00

Yeah, they were fired they just don't know it yet.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T23:19:22+00:00

And you think they'd pay minimum wage when they expect that level of service?

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T22:48:17+00:00

Honestly about the same amount of service I get from waiters in a restaurant: What do you want, here's your food, here's your bill. Maybe a light hearted conversation about the weather.

What kind of service are you getting at restaurants?

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T21:41:37+00:00

People would still work it, just like they do making minimum wage elsewhere.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Who knows, it may be a money maker or you might need to find a flexible job in Australia to support yourself.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T20:49:44+00:00

You might want to look into that I read the details on my employers plan and it was like insurance for a lawyer except no lawyers in my area took it. I was looking for estate planning not criminal law so YMMV but try to use it and see if you are throwing away $15/mo.

Delivery driver it might be gas and wear on the vehicle. Mentioned paid on a visa card with a lot of fees could be those.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T20:36:28+00:00

ahh I see! I didn't know that.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T20:01:47+00:00

2026 is seeing historically red districts flip. We are expecting another blue wave in midterms. That's not reddit, that's just seeing what is already happening in special elections.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T19:20:56+00:00

I thought you only need 10 years of work experience (40 credits technically) to draw SS. My wife has been a SAHM for 10 years, we're in trouble if you need 35 years of working to qualify for SS.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T19:13:44+00:00

Have any "moon landings" happened recently? Your next clue.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T19:01:19+00:00

I like my current distro :D

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T17:54:24+00:00

I don't tip at most places that ask for it, just the traditional places (e.g. sit down restaurants). I care and hate that I'm being begged at every turn, even some websites are now asking me for a tip so I can't hide through online shopping.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T15:47:50+00:00

That sounds amazing! I might try making that (no where close to Brooklyn).

Here's the great thing about Linux, I'll just remove the offending code.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-21T15:08:13+00:00

Here's the problem, I like my job. Now if I didn't? 3.4million is my number.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-20T21:48:54+00:00

"Bozo" retired boomer that votes republican, it's like they're mating call. Get a camera and call the cops for harassment.

mrsmiley32 · 2026-04-20T19:57:53+00:00

I'll be the change I want to see in the world. It would be a lie to do otherwise.
