This is my new strategy..... we tipping everyone else but my terrible server....

[@DionneHunter]

Michael Sweeney Its a double edge sword... Because they see you, and believe you’re not going to tip so they give you sub par service, and it turns into a self fulfilling prophecy) so as the customer you are pissed that you can see how they are treating and speaking to other customers and the speed of service for others so you as a customer reflect that in your tip, then they, the server get pissed because you tipped poorly, and they continue to think it’s because black people don’t tip well and they treat the next person of color poorly too.

[@sonnylisten8131]

That is a good one, never thought of that

[@PaintedHoundie]

@@DionneHunter that's the service people's fault to me. you don't pick and choose what service to give people, let alone the fact black people notice that shit and will not give you shit because of that. everyone experience is different, but ive never been to any spot, got excellent service and we didnt tip, its usually shitty service people are hesitant to tip for. its a dumb stereotype to me, because people are basically admitting they give other groups of people better service. if they flipped the script, and gave shitty service to everyone else, they'd get less tips from those people.

Ali is quickly becoming one of my favorite comedians, he’s funny 100% of the time

[@2x4yellowbrick]

I feel like he used the chair for a lot more than just a hypothetical shopping cart. Prior to him standing up, he laid out the premise for the joke in a calm collected mood until he knew the audience understood where he was headed. Then he used a physical action(standing up from sitting) as a way to shift his tone in the narrative without the pace of the joke getting thrown off. The presentation of frustration was rehearsed and perfected.

[@amanialex8235]

Godamn you dissected that Siddiq's set like an examiner. On point though!

[@lopevi2]

He does that routinely though. It's a setup for a great story and rile up.

That’s how my mom taught me. And I place heavy items first then light items like bread last.

[@jasimenmetcalf1870]

Live Free yep ! Exactly how it should be !

[@oldpro8783]

they have bags for your meats my dude. just grab one or two of those and stuff your meats in em together. i get 1 bag for each type of meat im grabbing. they might take it out to scan it but they put it back in that bag and then into a new bag by itself. every time. i dunno bro maybe this helps relieve some stress in your everyday life.. just know you are using more bags this way and ultimately killing everyone just a little bit .. for some that's a trade off and for others that too is a source of relief.

[@jasimenmetcalf1870]

Oldpro87 your way is using more bags honestly.... I just want my meats in a bag together away from my other food .... and that works fine for me

[@oldpro8783]

@@jasimenmetcalf1870 yes half of my comment was about how i use more bags and derive small pleasure from the fact I am ending everyone's life a little bit quicker in an existential sort of way though I posed that as a hypothetical. sarcasm on the internet is difficult i suppose, but yes I use more bags.. intentionally, and the ramifications don't bother me, they entice me.

[@Blullaby]

I just find him hilarious ❤️ !!! The delivery is always 🔥. Also, I have worked in a fast food chain as a student (cash register / hostess) and I can not agree more !!! I did the orientation. I know how we're supposed to treat people. It is literally part of the job, so do the freaking job ! It absolutely blows my mind when the waiters can't bring themselves to smile or welcome you properly (same for cashiers), like, am I upsetting you by being a client to your workplace ? Did we fight without me noticing ?? So yeah, I hate the entitlement culture in the US. 'No but you HAVE to tip ! They don't make a lot' ... How do you know how much I make ? Does it mean it's fine to receive subpar service and REWARD it ? In the Netherlands, apparently people also EXPECT to be tipped because xy or z... But at least, some of the waiters actually try to be extra agreeable. In France, we tip if and when we feel like it. But never will a bad waiter or waitress see a tip. It's earned, not owed 😒

My grocery chain's training sucks. I'm that guy who doesn't know where anything is, but I also work in the seafood section, so I can't leave and peruse the store to study it all ( wouldn't matter if I did, memory sucks ), and I don't know anything about seafood because the management doesn't even know anything about seafood, so I've got to take it upon myself to learn on my own, and let me tell you all, I've never been a good learner. So it pisses me off when people are rude about me not knowing anything, when I can't even get any proper training and help. Plus, nothing's in a logical place. Put the damn almond and soy milk with the other milk! Why the hell not?

[@mamatoucan9993]

You don’t put the tetra pack almond milk with the refrigerated cow milk because that refrigeration space is more valuable. If you can display it on the shelf without it going bad, that’s what you do.
