How would you know what type of poster I am? You registered 4 days ago...apparently. And I did respond - I thought your post was absolute drivel hence my comment.

Telling someone their post is drivel isn't a response,it's just trying to undermine someone's opinion, rather than ask them to explain.. their so called drivel.

I'll leave it there, because you're not interesting and lurking around my post history is creepy to be honest.

Agreed. I think if this national minimum wage was indeed introduced it would be a good a time as any to phase out this old-fashioned mandatory tipping tradition.

Philantrophy is never a good substitute for legally enforced pay rates, or indeed and basic social good. Philantrophy is always optional and only attracts nice causes.

A decent wage is much preferable to what I would consider, optional charity.

Well I lived and worked in.tbe US and know plenty of people working in the food and drinks industry as bartenders and waiting staff and they are all.happy making a small wage from.tbeir employer and good tips.

It's not.like Ireland where tipping doesn't happen much.

That's all great in theory but depending on how a restaurant works for tipping, the chef cooking in the back etc might get paid very little and not benefit from tipping. You're basically relying on how businesses internally handle so certain staff members can end up being virtually ignored.

Ya my experience in usa was that some people don't even get wages and it's all tips they survive on.
Tipping is as much apart of their culture as gun ownership.

Generally it's the waiting staff and bartenders that are not well paid.
As I said I'm only talking about specific industries. I'm in favour of a minimum wage in most industries just not in them all for obvious reasons.

And there's loads of reasons why people may tip a person less or more that doesn't relate to how well they're doing their job. Anything from race, gender and whatever else can effect how a person tips. It's incredibly precarious.

Yeah, that's a social issue. That doesn't mean it's not a good thing for waiting staff and bartenders.
I don't care the colour of your skin, your religion or anything else. I'll tip you more if you serve me well.

Tell me how

Tips is a culture which now mostly benefits the business owner, they get to keep their prices artificially low knowing that the responsibility is directly put on the customers shoulders to effectively pay the staff directly.
The staff, obviously aware of this, adjust their behaviour accordingly, with the fake smile and faux interest immediately switched off once a cheque is paid. And many customers apparently take advantage of the fact that they might only be in this particular establishment once while in town or whatever, and so don't tip.
The company I am working for, doesn't reimburse tips as part of their expenses and some people who are travelling for work use this as an excuse not to tip.

Saw someone comment online earlier today that when they worked at a fast food outlet several years ago, a particular meal combo was $4.50 and the min-hourly wage was $6 something. Now, that same meal has increased to $9.20, and the min wage has increased to only $7.25

It's always made me a little uncomfortable when eating out in the states, not because I don't want to tip but because I know the person is expecting it and feels the need to impress to get it. I want to tell them "Look, unless you piss in my soup you're getting the 20% tip, so relax".

An unintentional error I'm sure...see how easy it can happen. But no, it's fraud!

They literally added a blue check and modified dates using photoshop.

Modified a date from 2020 to 2021 to make it look like it was made in the days leading up to the attack on the capital rather than the previous year.

Tipping culture is an absolute piss-take - glorified exploitation.

I went for a few drinks and a bite to eat over there a couple of years ago and there was one woman running the bar and waiting on tables. She didn't have time to draw breath.

It was so bad that I had to help her out behind the bar.

I asked her where the other staff were. She started laughing and said it was normal for one person to run the whole lot, although that night was a bit busier than usual.

This woman had two jobs.

If it's like that in America, imagine what it would be like in Mexico.
North America is seriously screwed over.

No one too quick to defend them on this one I see.

These dates were altered that can not be disputed.

If you print from a screen or screenshot from a screen there will not be discrepancies.


These dates were altered 100 percent.

To sum up what it's about:

Trump's attorney got angry at the newscaster for asking to clarify what piece of evidence it was that he was suggesting was doctored.

The piece of evidence he was referring to was a retweet of someone's tweet by Trump and a tweet by that same person thanking Trump for the retweet. Since Trump's tweets cannot be accessed, they have to be recreated. In an image used in the New York Times, both a wrong year and a verified blue checkmark were incorrectly used for that person's tweets. This was very obviously an unintentional mistake as the title of the slide in that picture has the correct year and it is likely to have been caused by a graphic designer using a template and forgetting to change that template for this tweet.

When this evidence was then eventually used during court proceedings, the prosecution had noticed and fixed the incorrect year by then, but seemed to have forgotten to remove the incorrectly included blue checkmark. This is most likely again simply human error as there is no real benefit to its inclusion to the prosecution and the prosecution would be aware that many people watching would have noticed and pointed out this mistake if it was done on purpose.

In summary, his attorney got angry at the newscaster for asking a sensible question.

Did they want it down while it was there when Trump was president too? Are you angry at Trump for not taking it down too?
