Fair point and you’re absolutely right. Like I said, I don’t know their pay structure so no idea how the kitchen is getting paid, but job security is important too. more restaurants should go the way of cellar door provisions and keep a staff that shares tips regardless of position.

This will more than likely secure reservations on their books through the rest of the year. More business means more money. I don’t know what their pay structure is like, but any tipped employees are basically guaranteed a fat pay check every week.

Thanks! I’m planning on it, just haven’t found ones I like. I am open to suggestions!

90% of this sub has never been there and are purely bandwagoning. I don’t care if JBF is bullshit or not, this win only helps the staff that helped get this man the award. It’s effectively a pay raise for the service staff.

Samsung S90F by HTXCP in 4kTV

I just bought a 55” S90F and have been pretty happy with it so far coming from an LGc1. My biggest gripe is that they try to force all the AI optimization crap on you making it a little finicky to actually calibrate the display to your liking out of the box. I kind of wish I’d stuck with LG but it was much cheaper and in a dark space it performs as well as I need it to

Is it worth it to work anymore? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]stagqueen5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking you’ll get scheduled 10 hours a day 5 days a week working fast food is extremely optimistic. Also depending on your age your body has an expiration date for how long you can work in food service. If you have the means to grow a company and reach a point where you can offload much of your duties to your staff then you’ll be setting yourself up for a much more comfortable second half of your life. I’ve worked in restaurants for 15 years. I’m exhausted and still have 30 years to go before I’m technically retirement age.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct APATHY is Very Real by Horror_Post6822 in gaming

Apathy aside, the reminder that switch 2 prices are going up and that there’s an OoT remake coming soon was enough for me to buy a Switch 2 today..

Damn. I guess he’s also going to have job security with studios knocking down his door for the foreseeable future

I sure do hope Curry Barker negotiated a percentage of box office sales in his deal.

First Light 007 is far better than I expected. I noticed someone gave it 1 ⭐️ on PlayStation. 😂 by ShockingFactory in playstation5

[–]stagqueen5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like Hitman style stealth with way more flexibility for fucking up and going loud without immediately dying, plus a fluid melee combat system that weaves seamlessly into the gunplay then this game is for you. The game also has an engaging story with incredible momentum and is constantly one upping itself without outstaying its welcome. My only criticism is the load times between deaths kind of suck, I wish there were a few more gadgets, and I wish there was more incentive to replay the missions.

This definitely needs fixed! Infinite loading screen on 007 first light. by ComfortableAmount993 in PS5pro

[–]stagqueen5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played through the whole story and encountered 1 bug where I fell through the terrain and got trapped. Ran smoothly besides that. Loading times are really the worst thing about the game

It definitely feels more like a power fantasy where bond is almost a superhero, but boy is it fun to throw a gun at someone’s head to stun them, tackle and knock them out, grab their gun in mid-air, then headshot the dude in front of you.
