The AFL officially has a “personal reasons” problem, where players leave their teams for issues off the field yet still get paid. And the league’s clubs are starting to get fed up.

American restaurants are legally allowed to pay servers $2.13/hour. In Japan, tipping is rude. In Australia, servers make $24/hour before tips. In Denmark, $25/hour with full benefits. In those countries, a server handwriting a demand for more money on a receipt would be absurd. The restaurant already paid them. In America, the restaurant doesn't. So 20% from the customer fills the gap. That's the system. Leaving less means the server worked your table for two dollars an hour. This receipt is what that looks like in practice. $525 check. The restaurant collected every dollar. Printed "gratuity: $0.00" on the bill. Paid the server $2.13/hour. Then left the building. The customer left $60 in cash. That's 11%. The server handwrote a note: "I was expecting more like $120. Thanks." The note looks entitled until you do the math. At $2.13/hour, a four-hour dinner shift pays the server $8.52 from the restaurant. The difference between a $60 tip and a $120 tip is the difference between $17/hour and $32/hour for skilled service on a $525 tab. Everyone is arguing about the server's attitude. Nobody is asking why a business that just collected $525 is paying its worker two dollars. The server and the customer are fighting over who covers payroll. The restaurant owner is nowhere in the conversation. Already won.

How many weeks for wiping your own blood on an opponents face?

UNDEFEATED.
