Big "T" Larrity

@CobaltSasquatch@nicecrew.digital

We broke into a million pieces, and we can't go back
But now I'm seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head?
I should've let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what's underneath, I'll find your harmony
The song we couldn't write, this is what it sounds like

Sometimes I'll see a car, or a computer, or hell even a coffee maker, and I'll think to myself "3000 years ago that was in the fucking ground. Some guy woke up one day, looked at a rock and started changing it. We eventually changed rocks so much that we could turn them in to this stuff" and even with the benefit of a White IQ it seems like some low level sorcery

I don't understand it. The waitress literally tells the cook what to make and carries the plate. She doesn't grow the grain for the bun, she doesn't raise or slaughter the cow for the burger. She doesn't harvest and cut the potatoes for the fries. She doesn't even cook it. Why should she get 25% of the cost of an item she had almost no role in making or preparing

It has. I don't know when percentage based tipping started here but when I was growing up you went and ate. If the service was good you tossed down 2-5 bucks and that was it. The tip wasn't expected to be based on your bill because paying someone more money to carry a plate with different food on it seemed insane

Its even worse than most people realize. They throw that 2.13 an hour at you and then fail to mention thats only how much they make if they get enough tips to make more. If they don't get enough tips to bring that to minimum wage they're supposed to report it and the restaurant is supposed to bring it to minimum wage

Tipping is out of control and I say that as a person that used to work food service. There is a gas station here in town that has a tip jar. What possible fucking service could a gas station cashier provide that I would think "Wow that was above and beyond, better drop them a fiver"
