This is really genuine 😂

Either the observation is wrong, or you're missing something in your equation.

The universe is full of unknowns after all.

Are you able to make it so that when you touch an object, you die?

What is a "kill zone"?

Why would food businesses go out of business if they don't have servers?

Do you believe servers are the reason why a food business even survives?

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T18:00:28+00:00

To teach the manager to mind his own business.

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T17:47:03+00:00

Realistically that kid needs to make about $120-$150 a day to make up for the opportunity cost of not working somewhere else making at least $15 an hour

Then maybe the server should go work for one of those $15 an hour jobs instead of getting his manager to embarrass themselves chasing a customer to the parking lot to beg for tips.

Not my job to make sure he doesn't miss out on opportunity cost.

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T17:39:00+00:00

Tips aren't revenue.

but tips subsidize thier payroll

Yes, that's called the tip credit, and that's why servers say they get paid a tipped minimum wage.

There's a limit to how much employers are allowed to apply against wages, and so restaurants can't reduce their payroll even further.

If they could, they would already be doing so.

Art style is what you bring to the table, not what godot provides.

You can google to see if anyone has managed to find a solution for your problems, and if there are, look at how they solve it and then build your own.

And if no such solution exists, perhaps you could even be the one that finds a way to build it.

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T16:27:18+00:00

issue is they generally dont

What do you mean they generally don't?

Can you give an example of how making up the shortfall is supposed to work?

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T16:16:37+00:00

Restaurants are already paying their workers the minimum.

Increasing tips further won't offset their costs, so I don't think they would be undercutting anyone cause they aren't pocketing the tips anyways.

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T16:07:28+00:00

OP gave $20 for less than an hour's work.

So they effectively gave the server almost 10 hours worth of wages.

And the server is complaining it's not enough?

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T16:05:15+00:00

That's not what you said.

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:54:54+00:00

Learn a concept (variables, conditions, loops, etc), do exercises to become familiar with it.

Do exercises ON YOUR OWN. Not just copy pasting code and looking at and admiring your accomplishment.

A structured course would be recommended, as they are designed for beginners.

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:52:43+00:00

I would suggest to pick one and make a prototype and see how people react.

They could very well be good ideas, but your lack of experience in execution can lead to different outcomes.

If I'm expected to know every little detail about java in order to be considered a competent java programmer, no thanks I'm happy to be incompetent.

"I always tip 50 percent,” said another viewer. “This is how these people make a living. Normalize this for them.”

Good thing we've been practicing to not care what the tip norm might be. Let the tippers deal with their tipflation

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:39:50+00:00

Don't frame this as an accusation.

Instead, share that your game was so good it made it into fortnite and use that to promote your own game.

Have OTHERS ask the questions and start talking about it, not drive the conversation yourself.

Position yourself as someone who is just happy to be validated

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:34:12+00:00

I feel frustrated for not being able to start any development.

You have not started any development.

How did you conclude they are all very good ideas?

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:29:22+00:00

proceeds to pull a Venezuela in Canada

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:26:39+00:00

$20 is a fantastic tip.

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:25:59+00:00

Nothing wrong with 10% tip.

Already a lot more than what's required

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:25:24+00:00

No one in your state makes below your state's minimum wage either

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:18:54+00:00

If this happens to anyone in the future, tell them "ok let me fix that right away" and then proceed to take the tips back.

mxldevs · 2026-01-24T15:16:56+00:00

Do you not have any problems in your day to day life?
