@RobElgasABC7@DavidBrown_MLB@aaron_renn Conversely - all of the locals who would traditionally dine in the city before/after will now do that around the new stadium.
Coming from the western suburbs I wouldn’t make a pit stop down town
@PatMcAfeeShow@AdamSchefter To be honest - the remark about the OLine perfectly encapsulates why I don’t enjoy watching your program.
If he paid any attention he would have seen that our line was ranked high, but also kept Flacco alive and frankly wasn’t the teams issue.

sold $1B of Baby Yoda toys. couldn't sell $200M of Baby Yoda tickets.
Server has to tip out bartender and bus staff for the evening normally (at least if you want them to be your ally)
Making multiple trips to take orders drop food refills and ensure the high quality is being achieved.
Tip 20%.
Tipping culture is...problematic. I'm not saying $40 on this is too little or just right.
But let's be real for a second.
Effort doesn’t scale linearly with the bill.
On top of that, I shouldn't have to pay more because I purchased more.
I think tips should be given but we've turned a courtesy into a requirement.
And that has consequences in everything from how employers pay (or not pay) to how customers feel about their service.
If they made tips mandatory, it turns into a service fee, and restaurant owners don't want that smoke with the IRS.
No one wants that, but this shaming shit has got to stop.
@pestctrlguy If can be super hit or miss. I tend to find that I struggle to get them to do it “our way” because of their previous training and experience.
