Mother. Fuckin. Rollerblades.

If your legs are falling asleep it probably means your seat is too high. If you lower it, that should give some relief. As far as a cushion goes, I can’t help too much. I had one for my last chair and it worked fine, but I ditched the chair for an Aeron and haven’t had any problems at all. As far as I know, any cushion is gonna be just fine. Padding is padding.

It’s a VAT, but it’s a choose your own VAT, and it’s based on what the service is worth to you. The customary amount is 20%, but a lot of people go between 15% and 20%, with my average take home being around 13% because of the people that don’t tip. So, choose your VAT. In the end, when adjusted for the cost of living, eating out in the EU is about the same as eating out in the US and adding a tip. The tip is just already included in the meal cost. If we could all agree to do that in the US, then it would be fine, but we can’t, so it isn’t done. It’s part of the establishment at this point, and change is something hard to sort out across 330 Million people all at once.

As someone who works in the service industry, this is the argument that I see all the time. “We aren’t going to subsidize your wage because your owner is an asshole.” Weird, you have no problem being a patron of his establishment. Do you think that your refusal to tip somehow hurts him? Because it doesn’t. It only hurts the staff. My argument always has and always will be that we increase the cost of menu items by 18% and then split that additional 18% with the staff. However, that idea always falls flat with the owner because, “We’ll be the most expensive restaurant in town. No one will come here.” Which is a valid concern. And so, we are at an impasse. He can’t afford to pay me what I’m worth, and he can’t increase the cost of the menu or he’ll outprice his customers, and I can’t quit because it’s not better at any other restaurant. In the end, in any direction, the customer is going to pay more, either as a tip, or just for the cost of the food, or they’ll pay with worse service because the experienced staff can’t afford to work there anymore. Refusing to tip isn’t a protest, it’s just being cheap and making yourself feel better about it. If tipping went away, prices would have to increase, and either way, the buck stops with the consumer. Want to eat cheaper? Cook at home. I’m sure you’ll be just as good as any of your favorite restaurants with their specialized equipment and cooks with a decade of experience.

I hope all you downvoters have something of value to contribute… Oh, no, you’re just downvoting to show your solidarity with the rest of the cheap-os? Ok, enjoy your meal.

I get off early, so I’m going to buy a fresh pack of cigarettes and fraternize with the politicians while I wait to see exactly how the world will end.

The restaurant I work for is hosting the mayor and a city counselor to watch the elections live with another 100 guests, so I’ll be watching from the kitchen…

I’m pretty sure there is a KMFDM song for every post-apocalypse.

You say that, but mama_cutthroat is a hard bitch.

The fact that the Arrow-verse got tossed to the side like that is a travesty.

Step 2: Put him in the house that Snyder built.

That kid is back on the escalator, again!

There has to be a way to watch it now, right? Goddamn that’s some nostalgia.

Honestly, I read a lot more than I watched tv. There are tons of books that shaped me, but I had to struggle to remember the shows that helped me along.

The most serious. I will go to court over it.

Just so long as they are fed well with meats.

It would be an instant buy for me if it has full backwards compatibility, and I’d let them tack on another hundo for psp/vita games. That’s basically what my Steam deck is. Every console emulated and PC games.

I recently decided to play through the Konami Castlevania collection, and holy shit they are bad, I’m sure they get better, but I got to Dracula in the first game and the controls are SOOO fucking bad. This picture encapsulates exactly how I feel. Just at work, hating Castlevania, and thinking about playing it when I get home.
