@it_unprofession I bring cash to places that have this. It's starting to creep into Australia also.
I want them to ask in person for a tip. So I can tell them. "Be good to your parents, that's my tip".
I just tipped 20% on a bottle of water I grabbed out of a mini-fridge myself.
I brought it to the counter.
The cashier didn't even scan it.
He just pushed a button and spun the POS terminal around.
The screen suggested 20, 25, or 30 percent.
For a moment, I considered finding the custom tip option.
But there was a line of people behind me.
The cashier was making direct, unblinking eye contact.
I folded under the pressure of a digitized guilt trip.
I paid $4.80 for a Poland Spring.
I basically gave a teenager a dollar to legally supervise me purchasing hydration.
He didn't even offer a receipt.
He just spun the tablet back around and looked away.
I said thank you.
I thanked him for letting me give him extra money.
I am part of the problem.
@it_unprofession You gotta look at it as a sick game.
Stare right back at the kid, select "custom tip" and as you enter 0% speak the letters loudly and slowly Z E R O. Then smile and say "Have a wonderful day" in the sweetest way possible. Use super sweet kindness as a weapon.
@RadioGenoa Not sure what you are speechless about. The US abandoned Italy by initiating a war for Israel (which damages Italian interests). Meloni is simply drawing the unavoidable conclusion that Italy has nothing to gain from sucking it up to the US. Grow up.
In 2014, Texas, Ronald Lee Haskell disguised himself in a FedEx uniform and walked into his ex-wife's sister's home.
Enraged by his divorce, he tied up his ex wife's sister, her husband & four kids (ages 4-13).
He executed them all one by one.
The couple’s fifth child, 15-year-old Cassidy Stay, was also shot in the head, but the bullet grazed her skull. She played dead in a pool of blood, too scared to even breathe.
Ronald left to murder her grandparents next.
Cassidy crawled to the phone with broken fingers while bleeding out. She calmly told 911: "He's heading to kill my grandparents right now!"
Police halted Ronald on route. He was arrested and charged with 6 counts of capital murder. In 2019, he was sentenced to death.
@NickKao13@jameszimmermann Yes.
Because how would hundreds/thousands of years of knowledge, experience, and tradition in using a conductor outweigh your brilliant take on the subject?
LOL!!
Horrible seeing Elina Vähälä’s $1-million Guadagnini violin get knocked out of her hands by conductor Matthew Halls. Halls was fired by the Oregon Bach Festival in 2017 for "alleged discrimination against women and a person of color", maybe a second chance for him was a bad idea.
Lansing — Jill Fargo, 41, says she is embracing a “fresh start” after being hired at a local Domino’s Pizza, following eight years in prison.
Fargo, who was released earlier this year, said she is excited to once again be part of a fast-paced environment where orders come in hot, expectations are immediate, and nobody asks too many personal questions as long as the pizza shows up on time.
“I’ve spent enough time behind bars,” Fargo said, adjusting her new Domino’s visor. “Now I’m just happy to be behind a counter handing out slices instead.”
Store managers say Fargo has quickly adapted to the position, particularly the “sense of urgency and repetitive task execution,” noting she has already mastered the art of the perfect pepperoni placement.
Fargo says her goal is simple: “Keep busy, stay positive, and always remember to obey the law!”

@rabbitlover1010@unlimited_ls A repeater that picks up the signal from the key fob inside the house and amplifies it to the car. A lot of people keep their keys right inside the front door.
@tmo_melonmaster@EndWokeness As a Chicagoan, allow me to explain- There were enough morons, especially ones rich, white, liberal ones, who are unable to critically think and instead vote with an ideology of virtue signaling.
@EmmanuelMacron@GroutSalima Good to see the adults back. On the other side you have one man, alone, curtains drawn, hasn’t showered in days. Nobody visits. Nobody calls.
Father Edward Beck: "I think that Catholics are recognizing that, and they're upset by it. Not only Catholics. I hear a lot of people, Jews, Christians, talking to me, saying, 'What is going on with this president? He's gone off the rails with this. And why is he picking the Pope to have this battle with?'"
