@Just_saying_777@aravosis Hey, so, the arrests were made against people who were suspected of tampering with the already peeling liner, not the active destruction said liner. It’s not a left v. right issue. The hydrogen peroxide used to kill the algae is the likely culprit of the damaged liner.
@Crimsonwave2023@ImBreckWorsham@1969_daddy So, no evidence yet of vandalism, and one of the arrests was after the paint peeled when hydrogen peroxide (known to peel paint) was used to kill the algae… just because arrests have been made, it does not mean those arrests were connected to the active destruction of the paint.
@RationalOpp@KhanSaba1278 Other countries not practicing tipping culture are not edge cases… tipping culture is the minority.
The burger hypothetically costing $20 is not the point and you know that.
@RationalOpp@KhanSaba1278 As I’ve stated before, the model stabilizes once customers understand that $26 flat for a burger that used to cost $20 before tip is going to be the same out of pocket regardless. That is the psychological fault of the customer, not the feasibility of the model.
@RationalOpp@KhanSaba1278 Well, for starters, tipping is not customary in many places like Europe, East Asia, and Australia. As for cases in the U.S., Casa Bonita in Colorado successfully changed models. The no-tipping model often fails because of customer ignorance and lack of adoption, not set barriers.
@RationalOpp@KhanSaba1278 So saying that a restaurant employee making $3.50/hr is disingenuous because… no, they get paid at least minimum wage anyway.
@RationalOpp@KhanSaba1278 We already have restaurants that don’t take obligatory tips and they report sales recovering after initial market shock. It’s also federal law that if a restaurant employee’s tips don’t average out to $7.25/hr, the restaurant has to pay them the difference anyway.
