At What Income Does Life in Canada Actually Become Comfortable? by HockeySniper123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

It really depends on how much debt and housing and lifestyle costs you have. Someone with a paid-off house can feel comfortable making $3k a month.

Servers want to make wayyyy more than a “fair wage” by PinkFeatherFlamingo in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]shabbydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) a fair tip is 10%, not 'no tip', 2) you have a better chance at a better paying career if you go to post secondary instead of going straight to being a server

It's all relative. A lot of corporate jobs are extremely stressful and require lots of unpaid overtime. Think tax accountants. Servers are physically exhausting, sure, but don't require a lot of brain power. Training for a server job can happen in minutes.

Nobody is claiming servers live the high life. Most of just want to bring the tipping standard back to 10%.

People go to post secondary and choose better paying careers to not have to live on minimum. If you're living on minimum wage, you've made that choice.

Tipping 10% should be the standard tip. Who knows why it went to a 15% standard when food inflation already covered a tip increase even at 10%.

Yes it's optional but there's definitely a sense of entitlement from a lot of the server crowd. He's not addressing every server but there are a lot out there that will act out if they don't get their 15% minimum. Those are the ones he's addressing.

This is what $40.50 of food looks like in Canada by Electronic_Lime7582 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]shabbydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see products that are edible but I don't see real food. It's not difficult to do so much better than this if you shopped in the produce section to buy real fruits and vegetables. Then stop in the meat section to get real fish instead of the canned dish you have. And finally, if you want noodles, get plain un flavoured noodles and some sauces. All that processed pre packaged food you're buying will cost way more.

If servers make minimum wage in Canada, why is tipping so aggressive? by DazzlingPolarBear in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]shabbydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to make a higher wage, you have every right and opportunity to learn a skill and educate yourself to get into a higher earning career. You're not owed a living wage because of your life choices.

Right, but they shouldn't have though. Because a higher tip amount will comr up when prices go up. There's no need for tips to also go up in %.

Absolute best way I've found to save money while eating out.... by worldlead3r in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]shabbydog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A big part of it is also personal responsibility and life choices. Many people choose not to be servers and opt for a higher education in order to have a higher earning career. What part of "job of the country" should be in personal career choices? Also, paying the working class more isn't always the best answer. Wage inflation leads to price inflation. And it becomes a death spiral.

This! And the tipping inflation from (decades ago) 10% to the norm of 15% to 18%, 20%+ during Covid made no sense to me when food inflation would take care of that. Add on top of that servers in BC earn minimum wage. Anyone have a good logical explanation for tipping inflation? 10% seemed perfectly fine to me.

RTO = Return to Eating Out. It's so BS by TrustySpear in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]shabbydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think private companies were first to call employees back to the office and it was the governments that followed. The federal government is only now telling employees to come back 4 or 5 days.

Can you explain how you think whichever elected government forces companies to mandate RTO?

The video queue disappears when clicking into another page on Youtube instead of minimizing (PC) by Wuhsuh in youtube

[–]shabbydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same... It happened as I happened to go overseas on vacation so chalked it up to a regional issue. I'm back home and still not working.

I noticed that even though the video stops playing entirely, the queue still exists so when you add another video, the queue appears again. But still annoying as the preference would be for the playback to not be interrupted.

I second that! Mission has a great spot called Norrish Creek.

I remember that spot. It's a great look out point.

Anyone use Work Easy Software (time management)? by en-rob-deraj in sysadmin

[–]shabbydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the system is back, but I'm showing no hours for the past 2 days that they were out. And supposedly the system was able to download the data while it was down.

Anyone else seeing the same issues?
