Tipping in America: the insult tip

No, it’s not a kind of tax. And you did make at least the legal minimum wage. If not, cite please.

I mean.

See cite notes 19 and 20.

Your argument is facile- just because it is against the law for those under 21 to drink, does not mean that 18 year olds do not drink.

Nice link, jackass.

You’re so optimistic that one can show reason to this turdblossom and he’ll see where he’s misunderstood something; he will not. He does not. This character hasn’t in the time it’s been registered on this board. The only reason I ever reply to his idiocy is when I think I can raise awareness among others who may feel similarly but be inclined to listen.
You may as well be yelling at a wall covered in alt-right propaganda as directly address D’Anconia, and he’s proud of it.

So no cite then, Nawth? Didn’t think so.

Bad link. There’s an extra “http://”

Here’s the one you want:

ETA: @ D’Anconia, Here’s your link, turdburglar.

From you own LINK, ASSHOLE:

That’s well above minimum wage. The whiners that are saying they didn’t make minimum wage are lying to you. But for some reason, you seem to accept it. :dubious:

When you see an “average” reported, that generally means that half the values were below that number. Assuming in this case that the “average” is the mean, I would expect the distribution to skew to the bottom, meaning that a majority of the values would be below the mean and those values would be offset by a small number of much greater values. The median earnings, then, would be below the mean (consistent with what Lord Feldon reported in post 166).

And half the servers in the US make less than the median. How many make less than minimum wage? Don’t know, and it’s a tough thing to figure out. I’ll bet the farm, though, that the answer isn’t zero.

You do understand that average means there are people that make above the amount and people who make below the amount.

Or maybe you don’t.

“WORDS AND MATHS ARE HARD, OKAY?”

Not my link, idiot. I merely corrected spjork’s. But you’re wrong about everything else, so it’s not surprising you’re missing your other targets, too.

Yes, I know what average, medium, and mean, are. But there’s also a minimum, which is the federal minimum wage or the state minimum wage, whichever is higher.

Everyone makes at least the minimum wage.

You’re so adorably naive to think that laws are followed without the slightest attempt to break them.

Got news for you. The High and Mighty Business Owners and Job Creators are not always honorable.

That’s why corporations always pay all of their taxes without using shelters and loopholes, amirite?

Because everyone, everywhere, always follows the rules without trying to subvert them to their own advantage. ALWAYS AND WITHOUT FAIL.

LOL

ETA: LOL

mean.

Yeah! And underage college students don’t drink, everyone drives the speed limit, nobody smokes marijuana (medical or recreational), and there are no illegal immigrants in the US.

Laws that are only loosely or sporadically enforced - including minimum wage for tipped employees - have little impact on people’s behavior.

It never occurred to me to add milk to hot tea. Hot tea is the less bitter alternative to coffee. I add milk to coffee to make it less bitter. I don’t need to with tea.

I do wonder how you guys would react to what I was always taught was the nuclear option when everything is truly abysmal: you walk out without paying. Seems like that would be worse than the insult tip, yet I don’t remember as big a reaction to that when people have talked about it here.

I’ve never actually done either one, BTW. The most abysmal service we got was at a place we found out was shutting down. They gave us dirty dishes, smaller drinks than everyone else, and meat that tasted like it was going off. Still wound up paying, though the tip did go down to the minimum for the bad service.

I very much considered just leaving without paying, but we ultimately acquiesced.

You’re a stone cold idiot. His original link said invalid URL. It’s not botched coding, jerk.

Wow. So incredibly important that you win this totally insignificant point.

Be proud. You have reached the peak of your life.

Go fuck a cactus, grandpa. Are you sitting on the pie?
