What closes first from fecal coliform contamination? The local swimming hole or Chipotle's? Because one of them isn't being regularly tested.

I wonder how the economy would respond when Uber collapses. Sure it might fill Silicon Valley with somewhat unemployable brogrammers, but beyond that?boner confessor posted:for tipping chat. Just out of curiosity - how do you feel about places automatically adding 18% tip to expensive orders for small parties?

If you're paying 300 dollar a single meal for two people you're wealthy enough that no one is going to feel sympathy for you for financial reasons.

I paid it, but didn't feel like the service deserved it at all. im fine with it. for better or worse tipping is how servers get paid, and restaurants have something of an obligation to make sure their servers get paid else they'll walk and find someplace that will. if you can afford to drop that much on dinner you can afford the tip. honestly you should figure on paying an extra 20% or so before you even walk in the door, or when you're looking at what you want to order - that $20 steak is really $24, etc. same thing i would gripe about when people wanted to bitch at me about how slow the service was (it's friday loving night, a 20 minute ticket time is a good thing fuckass) or how they only expect to tip 10% because i should get a better job - i just wanted to grab them and shake them and yell in their face "mcdonalds is down the street you cheap bastard if you need budget food fast" ugh now i'm ranting. like people who walk in at 8pm on a saturday and tell me "make it quick, we have a movie to go to in 30 minutes" fuuuuuuck yoooouuuuuuuu best manager i ever had handled a table who was griping because their food was taking too long to come out on loving mothers day the busiest day of the restaurant calendar. their ticket had been in for six minutes. manager told them it would be out asap and they were already saying they wanted the meal comped for their time. he said alright, walked back to the kitchen, canceled the order entirely, then came back and told them they wouldn't be paying a dime. they were happy until he said they wouldn't be getting their food either, told them to get out, and gave them the number for pizza delivery boner confessor fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Jun 23, 2017 |

hobbesmaster posted:Yeah I meant more in the context of employee stock based compensation at a private company. You have to consider the expected value as close to $0. Oh, heck, probably lower than that. If someone is planning on eventually selling they're going to want to exercise options early to start the capital gains clock and avoid AMT. But you're paying up front for stock with low liquidation preferences and, depending on the strike price and FMV, you could get hit with taxes on exercise anyway. You' re also probably getting less actual salary and benefits in exchange for your stock-based "compensation". On the other hand, while I valued my private stock comp negative I am currently in the process of cashing some of it out at a nice ~70% ARP after taxes so

a foolish pianist posted:Tipping on a discounted price is a dick move, man. Tipping on a discount that you bring in yourself and the service isn't structured around like a coupon or whatever, sure. If they have two servers for the whole packed-out 30 table restaurant and there are massive waits on everything then it feels like you're buying a different product at that point, it's certainly a qualitatively different experience. Weatherman posted:brb going to post this in the schadenfreude thread You end up going to restaurants in college towns when you're a college student, by odd coincidence. Anyway, I learned my lesson. I was fine with the service, I just thought that the lower price was part of the bargain and apparently I misunderstood.

Thanks for your professional perspective. I've eaten at nice places and I've never seen a mandated tip for a small party. If the tip is mandated then you bake the tip into the menu price so it's invisible. Once a certain price threshold is crossed then, barring add-ons, making the diner add tip comes across as a bit lovely/trashy, like you're hoping the diner is drunk or foreign enough to grossly overtip.

Never eat at a restaurant at all - they are all health hazards!  Plus, never eat from a supermarket- I always see unrefrigerated dairy and meat hanging round. In short, never eat. It's the only way to be safe.

In the rest of the world that's really common as are restaurants run out of homes. gently caress even in the South it's not strange to find a restaurant run out of a home.

Azathoth posted:I really don't think it has anything to do with not wanting to eat in a stranger's home and everything to do with food safety. Something that people willing to host can control, but not guests, hence more hosts than guests. This. Food safety is a big deal, and meals you're serving to the public generally need to come from a commercial kitchen. Hosting a pot luck among friends (or where one person does the cooking and everyone else chips in to help cover the cost) is far different from having strangers over to eat, with unknown kitchen conditions, unknown allergies, etc.

Almost every technical employee who has been at Uber for a short period of time will end up in new jobs pretty seamlessly (Uber has a reasonably high hiring bar). People who have been there for a long time and/or are managers will get a bit more scrutiny (with the level of scrutiny rising the higher up they are), but those are also people who generally have a lot of options and well-established networks to begin with.
