"Yo, convention center is closed and we are doing record numbers"
Yesterday - An arts commissioner again calls to rethink how much hotel taxes are going to convention center.
We are running a perfect experiment with it closed and getting record hotel taxes in. City will say its because of airbnb tax collection.. BUT that is a small factor.. its definitely clear Convention center is not driving tourism as much as its ratio of hotel taxes it receives would indicate

@Ayodelebiodun @DefiantLs Thank you. It is ridiculous, isn't it? I don't know how this ever got started in the first place. Businesses not only want you to buy their product, they want you to pay for the employees salaries. I think tipping should be banned, especially now that everybody seems entitled!

@DefiantLs This is the most ridiculous culture I’ve ever seen. A “Tip” is a willing and discretionary extra money given for a service provided, especially a satisfactory one. Why are tips mandatory in the USA? What if you’ve offered a shitty service?

@chelle_talky @ShadowofEzra ...and probably not the New Testament for sure.

@ShadowofEzra Romans 12:18 says, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."
I'm guessing Ben Shapiro has never actually read the Bible.

@ShadowofEzra I tried to watch but the cringe I experience hearing his voice is unbearable. I’d rather listen to a blender running.

@ShadowofEzra I believe Ben Shapiro has never confessed to being a Christian, so there's that...

@ClownWorld Tipping should be banned. Employer should pay their employees a decent wage. Customers should just being paying for their product, not their employees salaries. Period.

@DawnSchwar59979 @TonyLaneNV Let's just abolish tipping and be done with this argument. It's wearing everybody out.

This is total BS! A TIP is something given for good service! Frankly it should NOT be based on the BILL amount,
Rather it should be based on service! If the waitress and support staff only ‘took my order’ ‘brought the food to my table’ and left me to my own defenses I dang sure am NOT giving a 30% tip!
This whole thing is demanding a certain amount based off the bill needs to STOP!
“A tip is a VOLUNTARY payment made at the customer's discretion, typically for GOOD service.
A gratuity, especially "automatic gratuity" (often called a service charge), is a pre-calculated fee added to the bill by the establishment, usually for large parties or specific services. Both serve as additional compensation for staff.
Key Differences:
Voluntary vs. Mandatory: Tips are OPTIONAL, while automatic gratuities are mandatory payments added by the business.
Discretion: YOU choose the tip amount, whereas gratuity is usually a set percentage (e.g., 18-20%) calculated by the business.
Expectation: You are not required to add an additional tip if a gratuity is already included, as it is considered a built-in tip. (However for excellent service many of us do)

@TonyLaneNV @thewriterme People don’t need lessons on tipping. Servers need lessons in courtesy. When did norms change from 20% to 30%? Use the same sappy illustration & multiply X2 not 3.
I’ll agree some diners are greedy themselves when they don’t leave a tip. That doesn’t lend license to shame all.

@bjn_yanti @GuntherEagleman @grok Thanks for asking. I never take CBS or any other mainstream media outlet seriously.

@auntiewillow @Thegardene1234 @VigilantFox @TuckerCarlson Your statement tells me you haven't really done much listening to Tucker.

@Thegardene1234 @VigilantFox @TuckerCarlson It's because he's a Jew hater and his entire framework is Nazi level Jew hatred
