I am the Food and Beverage Editor for @TMRzoo and the lead guitarist for Every Bitter Man and @BFRaidBoston. I love beating the crap out of my Gibson Les Pauls







Tens of thousands of innocent black men died in prison across of America.





told the homeless guy i didn’t have cash and he pulled out a card reader




It’s 2;30 a.m. The music is winding down, chairs are going up on tables, and the bartender pulls up the screen showing five open tabs. The customers had left without closing out, so she shrugs, turns the tablet toward the camera, and says, “If you walk out, I’m adding 20%,” before entering the tips herself. Now, the video is circulating online, and people are split. Some say she earned it for dealing with a packed bar all night. Others say adding her own tip without consent is crossing the line. I get the frustration, serving all night and then chasing down unpaid tabs is exhausting. But transparency matters. Clear signage or an automatic gratuity policy posted in advance would protect both the staff and the customers. What do you think? If customers leave without closing their tabs, is it fair game for the bartender to add a standard 20% tip, or should there be a different policy in place?
