If you can’t run a restaurant without abusing workers, let that abuse be your reputation. And let it be the way we remember the legacy of fancy restaurants with their tweezer-assembled food, which was only achievable through suffering. https://t.co/XZM388XgCt

A new proposal in Quebec aims to curb certain tipping practices. With tipping more ubiquitous than ever, and suggested percentages creeping higher and higher, is this a sign that governments could intervene? @coreymintz discusses: https://t.co/HctYh7VC47

As the frequent bearer of bad news about the restaurant industry, I welcome the opportunity to share a win. And I think three hours of free therapy qualifies as positive, writes @coreymintz https://t.co/97WXPXg3Pn

@TheAgenda @coreymintz Local coffee shops are community hubs thanks to franchise owners, not corporate HQs. Franchisees deeply care about their communities, fostering local connections. Historically, coffee shops and pubs have been more transformative for social change than local legislatures.

"Coffee chains moving away from their role as third places highlights the enduring value of libraries and their essential function in healthy communities. That’s what makes the library so special: they are there to serve the public." — @coreymintz https://t.co/lYmUN43NfP

Competition Bureau is investigating supermarket chains' use of property controls to limit grocery competition. That's when you get your landlord (typically a national commercial estate firm) to prevent anyone else from selling groceries on your turf. https://t.co/o5pbTwDlXF

"It’s easy to understand where the hostility toward Loblaws comes from. Over the past decade, the company has earned a poor reputation through a series of self-inflicted PR fiascos." — @coreymintz #boycottloblaws https://t.co/bROAHP5rN9

Reader contacted me with a disturbing story about their parked car being hit by a food courier. Is this standard policy? Have you had experience dealing with insurance from damage caused by a 3rd party delivery driver?

So much of what we see as automated is really powered by humans in hidden corners of the world. A student I spoke to in Bulgaria used to watch old people in a US geriatric ward and trip an “AI”alarm if they fell. As @AnjliRaval says, this is Chapter 1 of my book Code Dependent.

"Forcing customers to prove they haven’t stolen something treats us all like suspects. It’s another indication that this company has enough market control it doesn’t need to care how its customers feel." — by @coreymintz https://t.co/7mHAzJ7hOu
