"How can you thank a man for giving you what's yours?" ~ Malcom X

Amazing talent

@best_clips__ The young man can be successful and not play football. Maybe he simply doesn’t want to play football.

This coach nearly broke down in tears begging his player to stay in football instead of turning to the streets… ”If you quit today, in 3 years I’ll be visiting you in jail or at your grave.”

Sarah Simpkins went back to school in her late 90s and made history by earning her college degree at the incredible age of 102, graduating alongside her granddaughter. A beautiful testament to never giving up on your dreams, no matter your age. Inspiring legend!👏🏽👏🏽

@freakoutsideofx She is amazing for her age

Vanessa Bell Calloway looks absolutely stunning at the age of 67.

@SMHCarolinablue @AutherLungs @memegenny @Monica55dzrh Dude who said I can’t afford the dinner? What kind of man is worried about another guy’s pocket? I choose not to pay unreasonable rates. Don’t care what you think. You do you and leave the rest of us alone.

@dane001 @AutherLungs @memegenny @Monica55dzrh This isn't a theory, it's basic business economics. As a customer, you have choices. One of them is choosing not to drop $585 on a dinner you can't actually afford. When you dine out, a tip is part of the cost. You can either like it or choose an "alternative," as you say. 🤫

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic..... 🤔🤔

@Angelxotu @Marcel68nov @memegenny @Monica55dzrh I work for my money. I do as I please. I tip. But unreasonable shit is unreasonable shit. And if I choose not to go someplace then I choose not to go.

@dane001 @Marcel68nov @memegenny @Monica55dzrh Choosing not to go back to places with mandatory gratuity is a more reasonable protest than just tipping servers poorly. The system is what it is right now, and servers didn’t create it. Punishing the worker instead of the business model just feels misplaced and cruel.

@SMHCarolinablue @AutherLungs @memegenny @Monica55dzrh If the prices increase by 20% the business will suffer lost of income. We as Customers will find less costly alternatives. So your theory is incorrect. The real solution is for the Business Owner to pay a living wage and not lay that burden on the Customer.

@dane001 @AutherLungs @memegenny @Monica55dzrh If the owner raised wages, they’d just hike menu prices by 20% to cover it. You’d pay that extra $100 regardless. Punishing the server because you don’t like how the bill is structured makes no sense. If you can't afford the cost of the labor, eat at home.

@PantsPale @rirokpik Cause and affect

@rirokpik Yep. He was totally innocent. He was black and blacks never do anything wrong ever. The only reason whites hate blacks is the darker skin. Its never because of anything to do with actions because their actions are always angelic on earth. How can people hate people who r so great

In 1899, Sam Hose was accused of killing his employer during a wage dispute in Georgia. White newspapers at the time spread false and exaggerated stories, including accusations of sexual assault, which fueled racist outrage. A white mob captured him, tortured him publicly, mutilated him, and burned him alive while thousands watched. Parts of his body were taken as souvenirs, a horrifying symbol of racist terror during the Jim Crow era.

@SMHCarolinablue @AutherLungs @memegenny @Monica55dzrh I tip but no one in the restaurant should think I’m giving them $100 cause I took my family out. The Business owner should pay higher wages. Hell the meal isn’t a discount item.

@AutherLungs @memegenny @Monica55dzrh No people shouldn't go out to eat if they can't afford to or don't want to pay a tip.

@frankiesfight @AutherLungs @memegenny @Monica55dzrh So what. Less than an hour worth of work. The Business should bear the burden of paying a living wage.

@AutherLungs @memegenny @Monica55dzrh The waitress has to take the drink order then put in the order for those drinks to the bartender (who they often have to tip), then pick the drink up and deliver them to the table the same way she takes the food order which she puts in to the kitchen

@Angelxotu @Marcel68nov @memegenny @Monica55dzrh We as Customers shouldn’t bear the burden of ensuring that the Employees of a business are paid. To give a $100 for bring food to a table is ridiculous. I have paid high tips. Gratuity was included in those cases. The service wasn’t the best. I stopped going to those places.

@Marcel68nov @memegenny @Monica55dzrh People happily spend $500 on dinner, expect full service for a large group, then act morally outraged when someone expects the standard gratuity attached to that kind of service. Disagree on tipping, fine, but taking it out on servers instead of the system is misplaced anger.

@Sheiks_Beer @memegenny @Monica55dzrh I was in Spain and tips were not part of the culture.

@memegenny @Monica55dzrh This way of thinking is typical USA (bs). First: the tip depends on the quality of service. Second: the waiters should get a decent salary from their employers. In Europe the tip is in average 10%.
