Funny story, on my way back from having my MRI just now, I walked since the place is like, 3/4 of a mile down the road. Lady coming out of the fast food place on the corner nearly hits me in a lifted F-350, so I continue to walk at my brisk pace and she rolls down her window to yell at me to "get the gently caress out of the way" and nudges me with the truck.

So I punched her side view mirror off.

Maybe not the best course of action given my history with vehicles, but is your fast food breakfast and rushing to work because you can't get your poo poo together more important than my well being? I don't think so.

hahaha I always think that the trope of people smiling and not being huge dickholes in Cleveland/Midwest are exaggerated but after commuting via bike for three years and never having any experience even coming close to yours I'm inclined to believe it.

There's a chain known for it's "martinis", Bar Louie around here where I had to explain how to make a dry martini when I got dragged to a new restaurant opening.

It came with brine...

The problem with martinis in particular is that there is no consensus on how to make them any more. Too many times I had people order a martini when they really just wanted a cocktail glass full of chilled vodka because they thought it made them look fancy.

If someone was specific (name your gin, dry, dirty, twist or olive) that's awesome. Otherwise it's a pain to make those people happy.

The 80's are quickly becoming memory. It's everyone's duty to normalize it as a gin & vermouth drink nowadays.

wasn't there something here floating around wrt uber eats not actually bringing in profits? I'll see if I can find it.


Seems to be lots of literature saying the same but the below gives a number that as these apps eat away from pick-up orders the application's partnership fee or w/e cuts into revenue too much for an average restaurant to be profitable.

that's a mathematical stretch to make 20 = 3 x 11. This thread's a bit of a circular firing squad right now. Union/strike is how to get living wages i.e. KY/OK/WV teachers but I doubt kitchen labor will ever organize that much. If CDC were to up everyone's wages I think he'd find himself unemployed especially in texas.

Minimum wage in Texas is $7, not 11. 7x3 is close enough to 20, even if you assume a chef has the same above-pay benefits as every dishwasher, which I am certain is not the case.
Why are you arguing Texas generalities when numbers are provided in this specific case?

Tezcatlipoca posted:

Are living wages not good enough for you? Does that not count? Do you hate poor people that much?
You're attacking two people, who by all means do well for their employees in this industry, on societal woes. It's not constructive and completely misses the primary issues plaguing industry wages. Reply back with more teeth gnashing pls

He didn't. It was dishwashers to 15$ that would cost 10k. Is your memory so poor you can't recall the answer to a question you asked or just your terrible napkin math?

pile of brown posted:

In Texas, where he is, minimum wage is $7.

To increase to $15 is a difference of $8.

For employees working 8 hours a day, you would need more than 160 dishwashers every day to cost that.

I asked and was not answered what they make now and how many of them there are.

So what the gently caress are you talking about?
he pays more than minimum as evidenced by the j1s. You just want to be angry

For someone who chimed in with insults and inaccurate information you've really got a great handle on this conversation, as well as my motivations for asking for clarification of details that make no sense.

If he already pays more than minimum wage it would cost LESS to increase pay to 15.

I don't even know what your post about stomping pets is even supposed to be about? Are you just making sure everyone knows you're a lovely person or what?
you're the only one making up numbers for your "it's just 50c a plate bullshit"

My favorite food + LSD story has to be when my college buddy ordered a pizza over the phone at 1am while we were were all tripping balls. When asked what he wanted on it, he giggled "surprise me!" Pro-tip: never do this, unless you're dying to know how well pineapple and anchovies pair with bbq sauce and feta cheese and god knows what else. I took one bite, spat it out, and then was content to stare at pizza fractals.
Yikes if I got a malicious surprise me I don't think I'd ever order from them again. wtf pineapples

Price point idk, dude has been trying to get food trucks to come so he's able to sell non in-house beer but that's proved inconsistent at best. Right now he doesn't even have the headcount so leaning towards small bites, I don't have a handle on the kitchen space but I'll probably go visit it on Saturday. I thought of pickled eggs & small plate sodium citrate mac & cheese. I'll pass along http://www.tiredhands.com/cafe/menu we have a beer garden that does everything in a toaster oven locally but only finishes inhouse inhouse http://www.forestcitybrewery.com/bites/

You're an adult with a fully developed brain and went through a much more vigorous examination than most kids in the early 90s. You're assuming you're the only person who has experience and pretending there aren't vast differences in care between what you can afford and what someone making $10 an hour can manage.

ritalin, specifically in the late 90's and early 00's was bad, yes. A lot of it due to racism in schools and seeing bored black kids as uppity while bored white kids were put into gifted programs before getting a script as the next step. Combined with the war on drugs and meth is super popular now. However adderal avoids some of the brain damage and dependencies that ritalin caused and is generally prescribed less. It's a tool that some people legitimately need.

Why not? It's humanizing and indicates you don't "want" more money but you "need" it to support yourself. Any employer who doesn't care if you can support yourself on what they're paying isn't worth working for.

the implication is that you'll walk as soon as you find that .75 elsewhere after they don't give it to you.

JD you simply shouldn't have two titles and their payroll software or whatever method they use probably doesn't allow two punches.

I don't understand how people are expected to live off 9.75 an hour, I get that I live in California and pay an insane amount of rent compared to boring places, but still, at 40 hours a week that's less than 400 bucks a week.

Do you get overtime on the days you're working ten and a half hours for those last 2 and a half hours?

Passing the burden of paying for straws on to people that literally need them is unfair. Also, there is at least one town that has started *fining* restaurants for passing out straws. It's not going to make a loving difference and it's directly affecting my friends.
