Three months ago my boss started acting strange around me, less eye contact and short replies.Meetings without inviting me.
I thought I was about to get fired. So I did something crazy. A friend inside HR told me quietly:
“Management is interviewing people to replace someone on your team.”
They didn’t say who but my gut told me it was me. Instead of panicking…
I created a new email address. New cv, different phone number and applied for the job, yes the job I already had.
@LoverboyRaymond@de92420@MrPitbull07 Yes that is low, but giving them $100 for the hour that they serve you is excessive and more than what a decent hourly wage would pay.
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.

@catsnineteen@TimothyOliver7@de92420@MrPitbull07 If the custom or culture is bad, then they have the ability to change it by refusing to work in that line of business. If all the servers start refusing to work for such a cheap wage, the culture will change.
@catsnineteen@TimothyOliver7@de92420@MrPitbull07 So you like to travel? Do you tip your flight attendants because they do not make much money either. And they don’t get paid for the pre-flight work that they do.
@MichaelKandila2@de92420@MrPitbull07 So what is considered a good wage so the servers don’t have to depend on tips? $50/hr? Is that considered a good wage? So why is a $100 tip on a $500 bill necessary, when $50 is considered a good wage?
@youngvic@de92420@MrPitbull07 Most servers depend on tips as a large part of their pay. Obviously you’ve never been one or you wouldn’t think like that. There are a lot of people struggling out there. You should at least leave someone 20% if they did good job.
@DMBMother@MarianneJe74644@de92420@MrPitbull07 Maybe to keep your job? If a decent hourly wage is $30/hour, I’m sure that there will be many who will want that job. Or maybe to have pride in the work that you do?
@youngvic@MarianneJe74644@de92420@MrPitbull07 Switching to hourly would slow down, and water down, service. Why break your back if the pay is the same whether you have one party or eight?
@DMBMother@de92420@MrPitbull07 No, I have never been a server because i would never whore myself at such a cheap hourly pay. I have more dignity than that.
@MarianneJe74644@de92420@MrPitbull07 So tell me, if a restaurant pays a decent wage to their servers, what is that rate per hour? If you were a restaurant owner would you pay your servers $100/hr? No? Then why do you think diners should tip $100 for the hour that the server is waiting in them?
@bumblebeeschit@CherokeeOwl When a store publicly displays its prices, it is an offer to the consumers - buy me for this price. If the consumer accepts the offer, and the transaction goes through, it is a breach of contract if the store reneges on the transaction.
@CherokeeOwl He knows he didn't listen and what he did was wrong...by shopping you agree to follow policy and he purposely didn't follow direction..I don't think it's fair to disregard the job stability of staff for videos...
He spots clearance items marked down to $0.01 at Home Depot — originally $150 each.
He heads to self-checkout and scans them. They ring up for a penny. An employee rushes over and tells him to stop — says he needs manager approval. She leaves to get one. He finishes scanning and pays for all four. When she returns, she scolds him and tries to take the items back. The manager eventually arrives, checks the receipt, rescans the items, and tells him he’s free to take them.
Pricing mistakes happen. But once an item scans and a transaction is completed, customers feel they’ve followed the rules. The tension often isn’t about the penny — it’s about who absorbs the error.
If a product rings up lower than intended and the system accepts payment, should the store honor it without confrontation — or does management have the right to step in before the sale is finalized?
@apex_underscore@jamie_ponce@de92420@MrPitbull07 What I especially like is when they argue that the servers are paid a low wage, so they rely on tips. So whatever the server is making, pay them $25/hr more so that they are making a decent wage for serving your table. Then forego the tip whether it is a $200 or $500 bill. lol
@jamie_ponce@youngvic@de92420@MrPitbull07 People begging for money and saying "If you can't afford X..." is hilarious 😂 And you don't even realize how ironic it is before you submit the Reply 😂😂
@DaquinShane@de92420@MrPitbull07 I doubt that the prices will go up 20%. Probably not even 10%. Maybe not even 5%. Let’s say the server is paid a decent wage and will earn $20 more per hour, that’s all the server will get whether they take care of 1 table or 5 tables.
@youngvic@de92420@MrPitbull07 If the restaurant pays employees more your bill will go up. I worked for tips for over 20 years. Thank God I don't anymore.
@TimothyOliver7@de92420@MrPitbull07 If the servers whore their services for a cheap wage and then beg for a tip with hat in hand, don’t blame the diners if they give less tip then expected. The fault is with all the servers who accept low wages.
@youngvic@de92420@MrPitbull07 Tell me you are a cheap ass without telling me you are a cheap ass. If you can’t afford to tip at the restaurant you’re going to, don’t go there. I’m pretty sure somebody like you eats at Chili’s or Applebee’s and considers that high-end.
