I like tipping, it makes me feel like santa claws or some shit

Cliffs: People who eat in restaurants are too stupid to know how much to tip. You heard it here first, folks.

You seem to be implying that this is not the case with most things people do. Humans excel because we specialize in a particular occupation or field of study. Everything besides our specialization is going to suffer. For example, raising children, participating in the political system, etc. So I'm not quite sure what you're getting at by mocking my critique of the tipping system-- especially when you yourself are against he tipping system.

I think the main thing we disagree on is that you feel like a waitress is entitled to a tip just because I'm eating there, and I do not. I have not made an agreement with her (or him), so I am not obligated to pay her. If someone in the food industry thinks that customers are entering into an agreement to tip them because they are eating at the restaurant, then that doesn't magically make it so. An agreement is between two or more parties, not one party who wishes she got paid more.

In my experience in Europe, tipping is way less expected and far less common. People will still tip for large-ish meals, but it's rare for people to tip at most bars.

Jesus fucking Christ Pascal.

There have been a few people in IRC everytime I've connected in the past month.
What is going pinting?
I doubt I'll play any games with FTR.
Soccer sucks.
I don't really know much about training for Scrabble outside of 15 minutes of research.
You can play Scrabble with different types of challenge rules. On ISC, the void challenge style works just like WWF. I just don't like WWF because I'm not really a fan of Scrabble.
I've played live in home games, but not with a dedicated dealer. I don't live near any poker rooms. The closest is something like a five-hour drive.
The "Check your PMs" was to Chemist.

I hate when a business owner treats an employee like shit and then gets mad when the employee quits. The employee doesn't owe you shit unless they have agreed to do a certain amount of work at a certain rate.

I hate when an employee treats a business like shit and still expects to get paid.
Mostly when they are the chief executive saying they need big rewards for their big responsibility. But don't understand the meaning of responsibility when the business goes down the pan and they still want their big fat bonus.


Employee loyalty to a company doesn't get rewarded in these times.
Companies aren't loyal to their employees.
So Contracting is the answer; agreeing to do a certain amount of work at a certain rate.

I think contracting is definitely the direction that a lot of industries have been heading for a while now.

Contracting makes you more expensive. Salaried workers can work on several projects. Contractors just worry about the one.

True now but the more companies start contracting out their work the more the contractors will drop their prices to get the work. Eventually some contractors will be undercutting the others just to get the work, driving wages down. Just like what happened when construction went to piecework in the 80s. Everyone was basically making minimum wage.

I think this is too general of a statement. One counter would be that salaried workers are not as productive because they are not as driven to work as efficiently, so you end up paying them just as much because it takes them longer. You also have to pay them for time spent screwing off on the clock, and your tax liability is larger.

So I made this shit today from some shit I had laying around to hold this chick's headbands (this kind of headband). It's got an owl engraved on each end because she likes owls or whatever. It's 6" x 5.5" x 15".

Looks more like a shoe rack.

Umm, both of her legs were amputated as a baby.







Okay not really.

[supa]

I sincerely hope you are banging said chick... legs or not.

It's a chick I've been seeing for a few months. I randomly had the idea after she was bitching about her headbands being piled up with nowhere good to put them, and I wanted to see if it would work. The stain is still drying, but we'll probably know if I got the size situation right by tomorrow.
