How does this compare to merlin? I dont currently have any reason to distrust the cornell university department of ornithology… but if they ever turn evil its good to know there’s a backup

There are 8 letters in that phrase, and 5 of them are silent…

I dont know italian, but the time i spent there, i get the impression that there are almost no silent letters… just read the words out loud as is

I thought the british spelling was “peter file”

This community should be for actual real pics of community cats

Allowing these people reposting shit off reddit and grandma’s facebook is just asking for AI bullshit to flood the community

I propose we have only original content (OC) here

But also, i dont want to make this about “X type worker shouldnt make more than Y type worker”… servers should be paid whatever they get paid. Just dont put the burden on the customer… i dont care if they make more than me, or my CEO or whatever… just dont hassle me with the tipping decision.

a lot of that kind of “servers make more than X” discourse ends up belittling one worker with “unskilled labour” terminology. I dont believe in anything called unskilled labour.

Yeah, obviously i dont think customers should be in the kitchen…

Thats why it makes no sense for “carrying food from the kitchen” to be an optional service charge… it’s a MANDATORY part of the product you are selling… so make it part of the price…

15% for a good job, 10% for a mediocre job, 5% for anything below

I maybe make a 10% bonus if my department absolutely smashes sales numbers… i cant imagine getting 15% for doing my job normally (i consider doing a “good job” to be my normal output) or even getting 5% for doing “below” mediocre…

In fact, in most jobs, doing below mediocre work usually gets you fired, not bonuses

North americans are so stupid that some restautants tried in canada and the US to simplify things

menu-price = food + taxes + 20% tip

Final bill ends up being the same price as before but people saw bigger number and freaked out…

They’d rather be lied to by the menu price and then scammed for tips at the very end rather than have clear and transparent pricing…

I dont want to live on this planet anymore

I find the forced tip is better than the emotional extortion at the payment terminal… it ends up being the same price

And if it’s a forced tip, just take the next logical and include the service in the price of the item… and if service really isnt included in the production of the food, just let me pick it up from the kitchen myself. No need to pay $5 just to walk 20m with a plate.

Finally, the next logical step, include any taxes in the menu price and make round numbers… $10, $15, $18, etc… final bill $55… this is what they do in most of europe

I hate looking at bills that have numbers seemingly generated by RNG… $54.97 for a meal, wtf… just make it $55

Cries in canadian

even if you if you ignore stocks… i own a home that is appraised by the city and taxed at $300k (i’m not talking about an inflated valuation by a real estate agent here), but i only have $5k in liquid cash to bring to the casino floor… you’re telling me that my net worth as a person is only $5k? if i were to apply for a business loan, the bank should assess my net worth as $5k?

i’m really glad the real world doesn’t work that…

couldn’t actually put a trillion dollars on a poker table.

Thats not how net worth works… even for normal people, money on a poker table is an idiotic measure of net worth…

The reposts and memes often get more upvotes than the OC, :(

Ignore the downvotes… i agree we need a separate community for pics of community members’ cats, vs. reposts from grandma’s facebook page…

Make it a permanent ban, pls

Why gratis and not libre?

or does anon not know the difference between free and free?

Michelle yeoh is from malaysia, jackie chan is from hong kong…

Yes, i am stirring up controversy

Teemu selanne, miikka kiprusoff, linus torvalds…
