I think Bernie did disservice to the nation by stopping this.

Unfortunately it’s only a popular misconception that the witness would take the Senator’s seat if he won the fight. Oklahoma would be permitted to remove their idiot and, rather quickly I assume, send a bigger one.

They’d just spin it as a reason to remove even more worker protections

So Trump will do it?

trackcharlie , in Starbucks' unionized workers plan walkout on "Red Cup Day" this week

I can’t wait for flipppy to be able to do coffee shops. I am so sick of people getting abused at these places while their terrible experiences come out in awful service or products.

Even if starbucks employees all unionize the jobs they have will only exist for a little while.

Should bitch about the cost of living and education rather than how you wanna keep a trash tier job.

Shit, AITA that thinks inmates should be cleaning up trash on the side of roads?

Inmates actively DREAM of those jobs lol

Only people who have never had even a time out think work sucks when you are locked up

Franzia , in Salmon are vanishing from the Yukon River — and so is a way of life

My ability to empathize with Native families on this one is severely limited by my extreme jealousy that they get to live life that way.

Caring about this issue draws on a deep, dumb level of logic that destroying an ecosystem in this way is just wrong.

Not that I can really do anything about it, so far away from Alaska.

alienanimals , in 'Can't buy new jeans': Argentina inflation hits 143% as shoppers tighten belts

Argentina should start using another currency that isn’t inflating like crazy by switching to the more stable USD, or perhaps a deflationary currency.

sagrotan , in ‘Pure greed:’ Etiquette expert explains why tipping has gotten out of control
@sagrotan@lemmy.world avatar

Here in Europe we have something called “salary” and when there’s a price on something, it’s the price. The salary should be fair, at least the law says it has to be and mostly it is. And tipping/bargaining is a business practice that will and should die, too much room for greed/fraud/scamming etc, these times are over. And I don’t bargain. Very few people I know do it like to do. And that’s a good thing. I don’t even bargain with business partners, I expect a fair price calculation from the beginning and that’s what we do with our customers. And there’s a growing trend in business to do this. The room for greed, nepotism and cheating is getting smaller and smaller, some day we’ll have a fairer business landscape, for everybody. If a customer or business partner asks why something has that particular price, I just tell him or her. Easy. If he/she goes to someone else, he’ll or she’ll get a product that hasn’t got our quality, he’s (or she’s) free to do so and people did. And 100% came back to us, not 99%, 100% came back. And if it isn’t like that, there’s something wrong with us or our product. And it makes it so much easier and fairer for everybody. Times are a’changing!

AgentGrimstone , in ‘Pure greed:’ Etiquette expert explains why tipping has gotten out of control

I don’t mind tipping the services that I have always tipped my whole life, way before COVID even happened: delivery drivers, grocery baggers, barbers, and sit down restaurants where I get served.

RGB3x3 ,

Okay, but can we admit that topping barbers is fucking weird?

What is the point of the cost of the haircut if I have to pay more on top of that? Just… Charge more for the haircut.

Leg ,

Tipping from its inception was fucking weird. So weird that I’d say it was outright malicious. I’m sure many people are aware at this point that tipping was explicitly created to justify underpaying newly freed slaves, making the entire practice outright racist, Jim Crow era bullshit. The idea persisted so long that it became an uncomfortable and unwanted part of American culture, but at its core, it only exists to circumvent businesses paying a fair wage to its slaves. Greed is the motive, greed is the vibe.

steeznson ,

I tip barbers like taxi drivers where I throw in an extra £1 if I’m paying in cash. I think this makes me eccentric in the UK though; not sure it is normal to tip them. Usually don’t bother adding a tip if paying by card.

Restaurants have recently started adding a discretionary 10% service charge to bills in my city but that is the tip. Wouldn’t tip more than that. If they don’t include it in the bill I try to work out something like 12% from quick mental maths and add that on.

I’ve noticed the till checkouts have options to tip in some shops now but have never given any tips via the prompt.

Who the hell tips grocery baggers? Bizarre

AgentGrimstone ,

I used to shop on military bases and the commissary baggers have always only worked for tips.
