Gawker commenters in general seem to be just as dumb and offensive as Reddit posters.

except for Fleshbot commenters, they're class acts

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 31 January 2013 22:01 (eleven years ago) link

oh man, I had forgotten about the existence of fleshbot between say 2008 and now!

I guess I never realized fleshbot was a gawker thing

oh wow, and clicking on links delivers livejasmin chat pop-ups.

fleshbot is no longer a gawker thing, got sold a couple years ago

max, Thursday, 31 January 2013 22:26 (eleven years ago) link

did the buyer leave a tip?

❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Thursday, 31 January 2013 22:29 (eleven years ago) link

left just the tip

strange that music and porn were the two subject areas gawker couldn't make work in covering -- both media most beset by mass illegal file sharing, right?. i guess wonkette didn't succeed enough either, but the gawker main covers plenty of that beat itself.

kinda talking out my ass here

goole, Thursday, 31 January 2013 22:30 (eleven years ago) link

i cant really speak to idolator, for fleshbot (and to some extent wonkette) the big issue was ad sales -- hard to sell ads around politics or porn. for fleshbot in particular, the only ads you can sell are porn ads, so its difficult to do strong independent journalism and still make a living, plus you cant sell inventory across the sites in your network. plus there was a point where gawker was doing some pretty good porn-industry journalism and i think it became clear that... whats the point of having the site if flagship is doing the journalism on its niche

I see where y'all think that mandatory tipping isnt dumb but it v clearly is.

b'hurt's tauntin' (darraghmac), Thursday, 31 January 2013 22:53 (eleven years ago) link

it is dumb but that is how it works here, and shafting the server is not an appropriate response to its stupidity

mookieproof, Thursday, 31 January 2013 22:57 (eleven years ago) link

its not mandatory, its automatic. its a small but distinct difference.

I wouldnt stiff the waitress or anything, when in rome etc, but when i leave rome i reserve the right to say 'rome does shit dumb'

fair

i would love to go to rome

it's not the autotip that's dumb, it's the fact that servers are legally allowed to be paid below-poverty-level wages (just reiterating the obvious here)

1staethyr, Thursday, 31 January 2013 23:07 (eleven years ago) link

but if tips are mandatory u miss out on the karma boost

flopson, Thursday, 31 January 2013 23:10 (eleven years ago) link

i love auto-gratuity because it makes it so easy to leave super-tip

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Keep it down with that salty Canadian language.

pplains, Friday, 1 February 2013 00:24 (eleven years ago) link

I knew right after I posted that I couldn't have come up with a more Canadian joke, sigh. But I tip well at least.

Lol at all of you for thinking this is not a dream

I didn't know "she" was a euphemism when it came to tipping!

I worked at headquarters for a buffet chain that re-classed many of their employees as "servers" so they could legally reduce their pay below minimum wage.

Can you imagine working a minimum wage job and getting the memo that your wage was being cut?

How did they make them servers? In addition to their standard tasks like restocking the buffet and cleaning tables, they were made to pour coffee, offer deserts, and do a few other server tasks, and had their wages cut for it.

A buffet chain! Have you ever seen someone tip at a buffet chain?

© all the feelings (Austerity Ponies), Friday, 1 February 2013 14:59 (eleven years ago) link

yup; all of my older relatives who were on fixed incomes loved buffet chains (yours in particular) and would always tip 15% on their meals

upon thinking abt this, i am pretty sure it's an april fool. i was all ready for a vitriolic thread, too.

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Monday, 1 April 2013 17:08 (eleven years ago) link

it's def an april fool, woulda been better if they used a reasonable $ figure

iatee, Monday, 1 April 2013 17:10 (eleven years ago) link

Just yesterday, for instance, I wrote some adorkable emails to coworkers that I spent all day on, and I felt like my creative juices were just flowing like boxed wine at book club.

This is what all my friend's kids are getting in their Christmas cards.

Do you tip at dim sum? I would have thought yes but the dude from china I was eating with said no, and the person behind the counter crossed out the tip line on the credit card thing

Dan I., Sunday, 21 April 2013 16:50 (eleven years ago) link

in general Chinese people are not used to tipping

乒乓, Sunday, 21 April 2013 16:56 (eleven years ago) link

only white people feel so entitled to give/receive tips

乒乓, Sunday, 21 April 2013 16:57 (eleven years ago) link

It felt so wrong not tipping when I was in HK. My brain just cannot compute.

one month passes...

how much would you tip on an $18 cocktail. asking for a friend

乒乓, Friday, 7 June 2013 20:07 (eleven years ago) link

I think it depends on the context, like if it's $18 cause the place is ripping you off or if it's $18 because it's some crazy drink that involves lots of preparation

iatee, Friday, 7 June 2013 20:10 (eleven years ago) link

I would never pay $18 for a cocktail.

I would run out of the place and never go back.

waterface, Friday, 7 June 2013 20:10 (eleven years ago) link

I always tip $1 per drink if ordering at the bar. This is partially to encourage establishments to avoid having $18 drinks.

they are either militarists (ugh) or kangaroos (?) (DJP), Friday, 7 June 2013 20:11 (eleven years ago) link
