To be fair, that's not the actual alternative for the waiter. The waiter either accepts their income as it is with some people not providing a tip, or they can opt for other employment like the rest of the workforce that isn't tipped. They don't have to sit at home waiting for things to change like helpless puppies.

I'm in California though so we don't have any of that wage fuckery where they can be paid less than minimum wage if tips make up a significant portion of their income. It's $17.55 hour minimum plus tips where I'm at.

I'd really rather see tipping outlawed along with all other obscured fees and just pay what you need to pay to have waiters and charge what you need to charge to have a business transparently printed on the menu.

I watched Last Action Hero a few years ago for the first time, and it honestly didn't even feel that dated. It held up!

Would filbert also be an acceptable answer?

I wouldn't have realy thought so, but since you are getting the downvotes, I guess you are right! I'll upvote you since you've apparently found a taboo subject.

Easy, don't make rules banning the subjects people want to talk about. Are we so concerned about people's thumbs we can ask them to just scroll past content that doesn't interest them but suits the theme of the community?

He doesn't owe any of them that keep letting him come back without paying his bill. Tabs are for bars, not cities. If they want the money, they need to be willing to make him look like a cheapskate and cancel the event. The local authorities must be supporters of his to let it keep happening. Which means they'll never make him pay the bill for any of this.

To be fair, determining that is exactly his fucking job right? If not him, who?

No shortage of documentaries or reality TV. We live in a land of plenty. What you watch is up to you though. They even remade cosmos in 2014, so there's interest there.

Snoop has felt so over exposed the past few years that most of his projects just look like ridiculous cash grabs. This is no different, but I really want to subject the Red Letter Media guys to this and watch their review more than I want to see whatever movie is actually made.

What's kinda crazy to me is that if we rounded the whole group up, we'd probably get a few cops and military personnel working with them.

"Some of those that work forces..."

It could go down though. The decision to move products away from that plant can be made and diminish the bartering power of everyone there in favor of more friendly negotiations at another facility.

There is a breaking point. It's just intentionally hard to know exactly where it is.

I've noticed that every product I've bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.

It's pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc...
