If there was a server who comes to the table, the filmer is wrong for not tipping. If it’s a walk up to the counter and get your own food kind of place or takeout, tips are the classy and decent thing but it’s not as egregious not to leave one. There are drive through places with a tip line, though. But i have to say the store owner seemed nuts just based on the video, but we didn’t see what happened before the cheapskate started filming, either.

Closest i came was after divorce. Had to sell SUV and get a compact car. Had to call credit card company and pretend i had a vacation coming up to ask them to up my limit but really needed groceries. Cashed out retirement and took a penalty. Had to sell off some items from my childhood with sentimental value. Stayed with family a few months. Things were tight after that for about 8 years. I guess that’s mild compared to most.

On a somewhat related note, i know the price of eggs has gone up but people talk about it like it affects them as much as gas prices. How many eggs do some people eat in a day for it to be that big a deal?

It’s the other way around, born female, presents as male. What i mean is, we talk about the usual things you talk about at family gatherings. Family, sports, work, etc.

That’s terrifying if you really think about it and for it to work we’d need pretty much communism.

Can you fix one without at least short-term messing up the other? The market is up when corporate profits are up. When companies outsource labor via Chinese factories, Indian call centers, etc., labor costs go down enabling profits to go up. But we also end up with a lot of people who would be otherwise working going on public assistance. Can we really have it all? By all I mean a population who takes pride in their work/homes/communities as well as record high corporate profits? How do we bring back manufacturing and jobs without things like tariffs or other measures that will decrease corporate profits in the short term? And by short term, it would have to take at least a few years to take effect, wouldn’t it? Like i said, i’m no expert, i’m asking.

Why do you care?

I see this sentence used as a comeback in a lot of internet arguments. What is it supposed to imply? That people shouldn’t care about whatever it is they are arguing about? Why else would they be posting under a thread about it? It’s news. Why does anyone care about anything they post or talk about?

Not gonna lie, i had a Dooney and Bourke from the 90s that lasted until the 2016 flood and looked as good as the day i got it second hand. All weather leather and all. Not knocking nice stuff at all. To a point, anyway.
