I used to cook in several different restaurants...
So did I, and we in the kitchen always got at least minimum wage, whereas the waitstaff never did.
Slightly off-topic: There was one place I worked where the waitress occasionally would bring me 5 or 10 dollars from a customer who wanted to thank me for how well I broiled the lobster, and I still get praise from dinner guests when I cook one for them. Punch line: I can't eat lobster--I'm highly allergic to crustaceans--so to this day I'm damned if I know how I do it.
Cash is still a thing. If you want to tip, don't do it using the app. Amazon can't figure in tips it doesn't know about, right?
When I pay by card in a US restaurant, I try to avoid tipping using the "add X%" button and leave cash on the table instead because I don't trust the owners not to rip off the waitress in some fashion or another.
BTW, in Sweden, there's no such thing as a "tipped" sub-minimum wage for restaurant workers, and no such thing as tips, either.
I shake my head in disbelief at the depths our educational system has sunk to, and wonder who to blame for the impending death of reason, logic and Western Civilization.
That would fall squarely in the lap of the RadicalRight, so you've no-one to congratulate but yourselves.
Sticking band-aids over a problem only helps them heal in time with regular inspection, washing, and application of further treatment. Plastering band-aids atop band-aids is only concealing the wound until it festers beyond all treatment.
Agreed. So why are you advocating a band-aid and no treatment of the real problem?
If your goal is to be a criminal, and sell black market goods, your margins are rather slim, to risk your life wondering the desert or crossing tough mountains, or just having to traverse many miles to sell such goods. Just isn't worth it. You are better off risking a random check at the borders.
Not that it has anything to do with the current discussion, but just so you know: Sweden avoided invasion by the Nazis and managed to rescue a fair number of their intended victims in the bargain.
I misread TFS as saying "9 PM to 5 AM". Thanks for pointing that out to me.
(They could have said "0900 to 1700" like most of the rest of the world does. But that—like remembering that 0 C is freezing and 100 C is boiling—is just too hard for some people.)

Which ones? I haven't encountered this problem.
Damn. Ninja'ed by an AC, and no mod points to bestow.
The file upload button is unstylable.
This is entirely by design, and there's actually an excellent reason for it.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
And I'm a Local Guide in 3 different regions, one of them in the US.

Gee, I dunno... Maybe because someone whose annual income is 50 million can much better afford to pay 50% in taxes than someone who makes 50 thousand?
No dome required.

ZeroHedge is also a known conduit for Kremlin-sponsored disinfo.

Or going to work for a guy who owns a midget sub.
This is now officially the Democrat's Shutdown.
Oh, really? I wasn't aware that Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh had switched parties.
Shouldn't you be posting some Knights Templar copypasta, or did you forget the keyboard shortcut for that again?

The intent of the Second Amendment is to guarantee one's right to protect oneself from harm, not to engage in extrajudicial punishment.
You can have a tiny little Facebook app installed with no account.
Wanna bet?
He's offering an example, not positing a root cause. Have you been drinking again?

They didn't have much choice, since it was blasted out of orbit on 13 September 1999.
It's like you looked up a list of common logical fallacies and mistook them for virtues.
RTFS. A couple of them are listed there.
