He has had a couple of deaths in his office in less than 1 year. That's kind of unheard of in oral surgery. Pretty sure that's why he's closed. I think it happened in 2021

My guy you have no basis for saying that.

I can't speak for general anesthesia but mine was twilight and I barely experienced any of the surgery. I remember waking up for like 30 seconds where I was conscious and could hear teeth crunching but I couldn't feel a thing and quickly went back under.

We get it dude. You work in the service industry. It's obviously in your interests to continue to beat this drum on every thread on the subject.

It's pretty damn boring to read at this point though - you don't think you're getting paid enough, fuck off and work in another industry.

No, I don't think I will

The people dealing with hordes of pickup orders are not…working?

This is a totally made-up metric. Why do the people dealing with the hordes of angry pickup orders (“where is my pizza???”) deserve less money?

I mean depends on how bad the mistakes are, yeah.

So you’re mad that some people now are making more money than you used to make? That’s the issue?

“I think the restaurant owner should charge an honest price and knock off the phone-app style fees”

My guy those charges are -not- going to workers.

Do the workers dealing with you deserve less money than the workers dealing with diners?

“I don’t think the workers dealing with hordes of pickup orders should be compensated adequately.”

Do you interact with workers while you are there? Is their labor worth less?

Nahhhhhhhhh, I’ll be here as long as these mandatory tips/fees threads are here. Just like you in the two different threads about it today.

I don't know how to tell you this, but there is no chance of DC statehood happening in our lifetimes. The GOP uses it as a useful strawman to rile the base up at zero cost, and the last time the Democrats had a meaningful chance to pass it they didn't, despite the obvious benefits. So there's no need for the kind of orchestrated conspiracy you're describing, but plenty of adults who never matured beyond adolescence who think they're "owning the libs" by bashing DC.

ladders usually skip 6

no such thing, only noncompetitive promotion at the discretion of management

I’m glad they told you about it 👍

After I started getting that crap at fast food places, I stopped caring what they think of me when I hit no tip.

Why would it even matter?

They explained it to me because I left a tip when I went there for take out. They told me I didn't need to tip since the fee covered that (as well as other things that I can't recall off the top of my head) and offered to take it off. So maybe I'm biased since they pointed this out to me instead of being shady about it. Plus, the folks who work there seem like a good group of people.

I do, however, agree that 20% tipping for take-out is unsustainable in the long run. It was fine during the "take-out only" days, but things have gone back to the illusion of normalcy and folks are dining in again.

But for pickup?? During the height of the pandemic there was a local restaurant I'd get takeout from every other week, purely in an effort to help keep them in business. I'd tip them 20%. Now that they’re back to dine-in, I’m not going there as often, and only dropping a buck in the tip jar when I pick up my food. The higher tips during the crisis were never meant to be permanent (IMHO).

We’ve stopped going to a local pizza place just becomes of this. The guy answering the phone for pick up orders is relentless about the pick up tip. It sucks b/c it was our fav place
