centrist/conservative neoliberal logic: if you support
policies like universal healthcare, raising the minimum wage, and ending
tax loopholes that benefit the 1% then you must take a vow to live in a
cave and stop participating in society, otherwise you’re a hypocrite.
advocating for people less privileged than you and for policies that will potentially raise your own taxes is wrong.
but
if you’re a neoliberal centrist/conservative and don’t support policies to end
inequality and want to maintain an unjust economic system that punishes
women, poc, and the most vulnerable in society then you somehow have the
moral high ground over people who actually want to change the status
quo.
basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body.
that’s basically fine.
if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out.
unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.
These words scan with a fantastic degree of confidence considering that together they make no sense at all
this post fucking haunts me i was high as shit the first time i read all this and just accepted it as fact
It’s not just Tim Hortons, apparently. Employees at the popular breakfast chain Sunset Grill say they’re being penalized by their employer for Ontario’s new minimum wage increases. According to Sunset Grill servers, the company’s new tip pooling policy might cancel out that increase altogether.
The policy, which previously charged wait staff four percent of the diner’s bill (before tax), was updated as of January 1 to charge them five percent, according to an internal memo obtained by VICE Money.
“With this increase, it’s like a double-whammy for us,” said one server, who asked to remain anonymous. “It’s like we don’t even get a wage increase at all.”
[…]
The employees interviewed by VICE Money emphasized their $2 hourly minimum wage increase ($12.10 per hour, up from $10.10 per hour for servers), is, for the most part, going right back to the increased tipping pool.
“I probably average $150 total (in tips), per day,” said one server. “But if I was giving back $50 to the pool, I’m taking home $100. Now I’m giving back $65 or $70 per day, but my tips haven’t gone up.”
Given a full-time schedule of 35 hours, the new minimum wage means a pay increase of $70 per week. But an additional clawback averaging $60-70 for that same time period means the wage increase only exists on paper.
“We are not opposed to tipping out,” the server said. “But they are taking roughly $1,500 a week [in total] from us and what we know for sure is they are tipping out $700-$800. So even before the unforeseeable, [where] was our money going?”
Every restaurant i ever worked at takes a chunk of tips (based on sales not your actual tips so if customers dont tip it comes out of your own pocket) in order to “tip out the cooks” or whatever. But you can do a little math and realize easily that a good chunk of that goes to the owner.
If five servers/night pay in $20 each thats 100/night and the five kitchen staff get $50 once per pay period (2 weeks), the math doesn’t add up.
This is why restaurant owners live in the swank closed off subdivisions while the kitchen and wait staff share apartments and scrounge for cash to pay for their uniforms.
Restaurant owners are all, every one of them, cheating, lying, thieving shitbags.
i have 15 years’ worth of outstanding library fines in three separate cities and it’s my hope that eventually a bounty hunter librarian will come to collect and we’ll get in a bar fight and fall in love
I also can’t rent movies in two different towns so there’s that.
It would be so nice if you could click on an unfamiliar food blog without a >50% chance of massively ED triggering rhetoric.
