Hey Max! What’s your concept of race and nation?
I’ve noticed that the tip for most of these apps is generally lower than the cost of an Uber to my local pub. Much lower if you factor in that I’ve got to Uber home afterwards, as well. So if I’m willing to add the cost of an Uber to a night at the pub, it’s awfully stingy to screw the driver if I decide to order in, instead one night.
I came here for an argument about tipping, and now we’re arguing about the Olympics?
He mentioned it first.
This is abuse about tipping. You want thread 12A next door.
I thought that was “getting hit on the head” lessons.

Only if there is a person riding the bicycle, because bicycles are vehicles and the person operating them generally has the same rights and duties as a driver of a car (in Florida, at least). There is however a special provision by which up to ten bicyclists may cross a stop sign at a time,
Fl stat. 316.2065 (6)(b)
When stopping at a stop sign, persons riding bicycles in groups, after coming to a full stop and obeying all traffic laws, may proceed through the stop sign in a group of 10 or fewer at a time. Motor vehicle operators must allow one such group to travel through the intersection before moving forward.
I am not aware of a lot of people showing up to work drunk, or why that would be a good thing, or a lot of drunk driving in the morning when people go to work (rather than say midnight to 4am). Even if the adversative holds that doesn’t come close to balancing out the number of people killed on a societal basis, or the risk of death to any individual.

Only 28% of all highway fatalities are from drunk driving. That means that 72% are not related to drunk driving. You’ve got 2.5 times the chance of dying in a sober accident than a drunk accident. Don’t you owe it to yourself to have a couple of drinks before you hit the road?
Hopefully all states get around to adopting the Idaho Stop Law, one of the few good things about Idaho. It allows me to treat stop signs as yield signs and red lights as stop signs. Common sense for cycling. WA has picked up part of this law. Those are the two main states I ride in, occasionally heading into Montana where I rarely have to worry about either stop sign or light
Seems like common sense.
Friends don’t let friends drive sober.
“You haven’t had enough to drink. If you’re leaving, let me call you a cab. But when it arrives, bring him into the bar, he’ll need a few drinks in him.”
Yes, clearly driving while drunk is better for everyone as it reduces the likelihood of getting into an accident. It’s the socially responsible thing to do.
I’ve always loved the Pit.
U.S. government statistics for one recent year showed that while the highest percentage of fatal accidents involving drunk drivers occurred between midnight and 3 a.m., 53% of fatalities between 3 and 6 a.m. and 15% of fatal accidents between 6 and 9 a.m. involved the alcohol-impaired.
This could reflect people coming home really late after partying, going to work drunk or coming home after the night shift drunk.
But should I tip a drunk DoorDash driver more? Is it okay to not tip him at all if he has only had one drink?
When we had the big snowfall last week, I ordered a pizza that night. The place is literally a mile and a half away, which is no distance at all. However, for me to traverse that trivial distance, I would have had to get dressed, don boots, clean off and dig out my car, and make the treacherous drive there and back myself. Instead, I answered the door and gratefully received my pizza. Heck, besides the included delivery fee, I gave him an extra five bucks.
If someone is drunk, it’s really easy to tip them over.
People use this kind of logic all the time.
I’m not sure whether drunk people are more likely to survive the trauma of an accident, though. It is often said that being drunk makes you less rigid and so when you get into an accident you are less likely to die. Some people will take that and run with it… but I’d think if you are drunk and drive you are more likely to get in an accident, and this outweighs any potential marginal benefit to being drunk when you get hit.

Except when the driver is also belligerent, in which case it would be easy to understand why a customer might be cowed.
