The customers end up paying the extra however you slice it. Be it tips, a non optional gratuity, or baked into the price. Most restaurant margins are surprisingly low, its not like theyre being greedy and hoarding the ‘extra’ money that would otherwise go to servers salary.

The tip passing direct from the customer to the staff prevents it from being taxed 2x, (both sales and income dont get charged on tips) you’d be adding an extra 10% or more on top of the 20% if you moved to to a baked in cost.

You do realize the customer would pay either way. The prices will just go up to pay those wages (and now you also owe double taxes on it; both the sales taxes and the income taxes will get made up for on the top.)

Most ‘good’ restaurants will likely go to a commission based model, where that same 20% of sales goes to the waiter, but is included in the price, since tips are what motivate servers to upsell. 20% of $150 is beter than 20% of $100.

Without it theres no point in going out of your way to offer an appetizer or cocktail while they wait for the food, since its just creating more work for the same $/hr. Now the restaurant needs to raise prices even more to keep afloat, since sales are down.

And if they do go to commission, now the only thing thats changed is the servers motivation towards the guest. After everything is rung in, they’ve got their 20%; unless theres another sale to be made (a new cocktail, dessert, etc) theres no motivation to check back in until its time to drop the check. Because thats why tips are discretionary: to disincentivize poor service.

Ive seen it pretty much every way. I used to work at a country club that paid high hourly. Ive also been at a hotel where everything was auto grated.

Ive also noticed it traveling in europe. Id find myself deciding between dining in more touristy or more authentic spots depending on the level of care I wanted. Do i go to the bistro, where i wont get a chance to order a second coffee, and no one’s going to refill my water for the hour and a half im sitting for lunch, before someone finally makes eye contact and I can get my check, or do I go to the place in the tourist spot, where ill get everything I need and be out in 45 minutes, because they know I’m a tourist from a tipping country.

Same server, but now they get a commission on that check instead of a tip. They get the same 20%, but you now pay an extra 10% in taxes on the higher bill. And youre now their lowest priority table after ordering, because the commission is already locked in

Tell that to the owner and not the staff.

I dont think Egypt wants the palestinians, unfortunately

I have a full set now, from different random furniture buys over the years, that I cut off the short side with an angle grinder, so I can throw them into a drill.

Oh. I thoight he was pretending he was in the game frogger

One of my friends has an electric mini thats pretty sweet

In my state its $15 but I haven’t seen a job in my town posted in the last 8+ years for under $21 because vhcol.

The general consensus is minimum wage is whatever the grocery store is hiring at (they have had a poster at the front door for 20 years now posting what theyre hiring at. Right now its $32/$35 for overnight restocking) - every buisness owner knows theyre not going going to get any applications if they can’t beat it.

Even tipped positions all pay $16+ so people can actually make rent.

most people refer to them motherfuckers

His way is decidedly Freudian.

1.8€/L is 8$/Gal for anyone wanting to convert back.

theres only like 6.5B usd worth of monero (compared to ~1Trilion BTC)

At 20Milion barrels of oil (/ dolars if its $1 a barrel) a day, theyd own all the monero within a year, meaning theyd have told pretty actively be selling it back onto the market for another currency to keep a supply for shippers to use. Compared to BTC where they’d need 136 years of hoarding to accumulate it all

I feel like they started with a real image and asked ai to clean it up, and add the shirt text, leading to things like the svedka’s V having the bottom cut off, and the camel logo looking all wavy.

The bottle labels on the bottles looks weirdly half AI

Espolon?

My parents bought a house for 75k in 1985. My nan put down 35k, and they lived in the MIL suite of the house for the summers for 3 years, and rented the main house for 5k a season, and my dad paid the last 25k out of his salary.

That house is worth 3.5 million now. Cheapest property ive seen go to market in my town was 950k and that was a literal 2 room beach shack with the only shower being outdoors.

Hes already done those. The next step is to impose his own blockade on the straight, and claim it doesnt matter what Iran does, America closed the straight until HIS demands are met!

I think the point is that they werent doing it before the war. (Because it was so much more costly)

Getting that kind of infrastructure set up will take time. Were talking hundreds of refrigerated trucks and a couple thousand miles. Longer depending on where they come in from. Are they trucking across Saudi Arabia? Landing shipping vessels in a port outside of the strait and running along the coastal roads within Iran’s drones range?

Or monetize icrementing it forward.
