  • Some folks have noticed the service you get in the States is shit, unless the wait staff identify you as someone who will give a good tip. If you're from an ethnic group notorious for bad tipping, you're never going to get good service, and so you're never going to tip well... Continuing the cycle. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    It's not that it'll clean better, but an additional rinse can't hurt - especially if a utensil might have been crowded or rushed through the wash. Or maybe the waitstaffs hands are a bit suspect.

  • They did something similar with some transformers here in Australia, and unfortunately there were some possibly associated traffic incidents where people might have not been going the right speed and got rear-ended. One man died, even.

    Please avoid the route, even when it is pulled over to "rest", as your fellow motorists may not be able to resist rubbernecking.

  • Excuse us for being sceptical that businesses will actually be held accountable. We know legally they are, but will forced arbitration or delayed court proceedings mean people too poor to afford a good lawyer for long will have to fuck off?

  • Used to be able to get $1 cheeseburgers. The loose change menu was a huge thing here, you could actually wander in with some coins and walk out with some food.

    At $1 a burger, in less than 3 minutes, that's way cheaper, "tastier" (subjective), faster, and no cleaning up, than having a pot of lentil curry.

  • That's like asking why we can't just eliminate gonorrhea... people keep inoculating each other with the bad shit.

    I do tell my expecting parents (who happen to have bad teeth) that they should not test the food in their mouth and use the same spoon with their new child, as they will be passing on their bacteria to the kid. I do also imply they shouldn't share things like drinks.

    Whether or not they listen to me isn't my problem...

  • A chick got pulled for Subway: https://www.smh.com.au/traveller/inspiration/forgotten-subway-sandwich-costs-australian-traveller-jessical-lee-2664-on-arrival-home-20220721-h2576l.html

    So it's not surprising to me for being hauled up over a lunch... I'm likely biased as Australia and NZ have long been very strict about biosecurity.

    What does seem strange to me is that in Australia, if I bring in something they don't like, they turf it and let me through?? No fine or anything. Admittedly I go through the "Declare" line, and am open about what I'm unsure about.
