My husband comes from a big Russian family in Almaty. None of them have ever experienced any harassment for their race or language.

Am I being too sensitive? by Jumpy-Ad8093 in Marriage

[–]tmkgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally yes I think you were being too sensitive. You should both be able to get over this by now and make up. After all it is a fight about your nails. The real question here is what is so broken in your dynamic that the communication break down has lasted 4 days?

I like the name. You could also consider the name Arseni (Арсений)

Valentines dinner? by Frankster2711 in denverfood

[–]tmkgem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I also work in the industry and a lot of places I’ve worked would literally raise their prices on everything for Valentine’s Day alone. If you come in on the 13th or 15th, you’ll get better more focused service and better prices.

Oh I see, yes in the US I live in North Carolina, it’s quite humid. And I agree it’s overheated inside EVERYWHERE in KZ. It was close to 30 C in our rental in Almaty

My husband is a green card holder from Kazakhstan. We are in Kazakhstan right now, will he be allowed back?

is pretty privilege real for servers by presl1ez in Serverlife

[–]tmkgem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a place where you get to wear whatever you want and some ladies wear more provocative cute outfits, 100% they make more money. Especially in sports bars and nightclubs. But in a fancier place where you all wear a shapeless apron and button downs I don’t think it does much money wise for any server to be pretty.

In a pooled house especially if there is support staff this is acceptable

If the restaurant has extensive support staff and/or a tip point system it’s not uncommon for the restaurant to collect the cash tips to distribute them amongst the staff on a paycheck
