  • Let me make this real simple for you. When a worker does not report their tips properly they cheat themselves out of the full benefits of their social security. They also cheat themselves out of the percentage match that their employer should be paying into social security. Everyone who gets paid under the table is cheating themselves out of the full compensation they should be receiving for their labor. The rich don't need to cheat us if we cheat oversleves. This is why we need financial literacy in schools.

  • Yes actually I am. When the worker cheats on their tip taxes then the company also doesn't pay their percentage of social security taxes for the worker. The company frickin loves this btw because they pay less and the liability for accurate reporting lies on the worker. So the worker gets double cheated and will eventually receive less of their benefits than they should.

  • I'm really disappointed in this article. Tipping culture needs to go away. It is disingenuous on all fronts. The customer gets lied to about the price of something. The company gets to subsidise their workforce to the detriment of the employees. And some employees will not file their earning correctly and commit tax fraud. If companies paid a living wage with benefits the employees would be much better off and the public wouldn't be left holding the bag. NPR should have done an article about the real costs of tipping culture on the public. Tipped employees get shit for minimum wage, no health benefits, and will not be able to contribute/pull from the full benefits of social security later in life. And the public will be continually stuck trying to fix this stupid problem all because of greedy ass companies skimming as much money as they can from us.

  • There's a big difference in a 2 hr plus movie that's all fluff and one that actually has substance/is compelling. I can't sit through modern movies anymore because the story isn't really worth my time or attention.

  • Neurotypical here. I don't call it habits, I prefer autopilot. My autopilot is so strong that I've made dinner/cleaned house while on the phone without even realizing I did it. Like seriously get off the phone and look around and wondered when did I do that? I also have driven to work instead of shopping because I am so used to only leaving the house for work. You can set a clock by my daily routine down to the minute.

  • Reminds me of this.

  • I still have my games guide for the original Final Fantasy Tactics for the PlayStation. I've kept it all these years just for the beautiful artwork.

  • Whenever I have a really bad day at work my husband will play Slammin Salmon to cheer me up.

  • Working from home today and my parrots were starting a scream-off at lunchtime. I walked in their room and told them all they get C's for their report cards today. My cheeky african grey looked me dead in the eye and screamed "Whoo hoo!" I give up it's Friday and I don't care.

  • I'm actually kinda shocked to see it doesn't have a side window. That's the property owner's fault at this point.

  • Thank you for this I had no idea what was going on.

  • Me personally no, I quit on June 11th and I haven't looked back. My husband on the other hand looks at it periodically. He showed my something from r/PartyParrot yesterday thinking it was cool and I had to tell him it was a popular repost. Pretty much cemented the fact that I'm not missing anything.

  • I can tell you how long it takes to grow flour moths. Frickin bane of every bird owner's existence.

  • Some one needs to put a big cardboard cut out of a raccoon by that sinkhole.

  • I have an old arcade token from a little pizza place my grandparents used to take us to when I was a kid. The pizza place is long gone but I'll always remember pizza and pinball.

  • I too have a matching set.

  • I'm not going to lie I stopped reading this halfway through. This person would have better luck finding a Sugar Daddy.

  • They might not be able to if the tires are still factory and were put on with an air gun or they still have locknuts on them. I learned that one the hard way.
