tipping

"it's not just a city in China"

boy, i wish the image spam feature was turned off.

Definitely on the same track.

isnt it a problem that there will always be douchebags that don't tip, and so the rest that do tip end up having to pay more to get the servers on a income level comparable to if they were just paid a straight wage?
so assuming income stays at the same level under both systems, instituting tipping effectively takes money from the nice people and gives it to the douchebags. how is this good?

Now get this!

Pleasant Plains, you win the most annoying post of all time award.

nothing anybody says on these threads is true. <- except that.

i've had 'normal' pints in the US tho yes.

I'm pretty sure US pints ARE smaller - isn't a US pint 16oz, and a UK one 20oz?

I've seen both sizes. Varies from bar to bar.

It's true, actually. A pint in the US is 16 fl oz, but an Imperial pint is 20. Imperial pint glasses are usually thinner (so less interior space is taken up by the glass walls) and have that bulge at the top. Some bars in NYC follow the UK model, tho I have to think they're doing it for ex-pat or global credibility reasons (ie it's an Irish or Australian bar or etc).

I'm not sure where you are all getting these standard sizes, I've been to a significant amount of US bars where beers are served in the size glass that the individual beer is supposed to be served in, ie the chimay glass, the giant pilsners, etc. That all being said, I have never noticed a difference in the size of a standard bog tap brew in either country. I think this standards myth is a myth!

xpost yes Laurel but if you can find me a bar that actually goes by standardized THIS IS A PINT IT IS 160Z and not THESE ARE THE GLASSES WE HAVE THEY ARE SLIGHTLY BIGGIE SIZED COS THEY CAME FROM IKEA I will fall dead of shock.

I don't know about the US, but in the UK a pint is always 20oz = 568ml, by law, so we do have standard sizes. Maybe it's different there though.

life without free pouring must be so depressing.

Ally, eh? I have "pint glasses" in my cupboards at home (purchased at Fishes Eddy) and they are only the 16 oz kind. Pretty sure that it's an exception to the rule to have 20 oz glasses here; most bars I can think of, even respectable non-fancy ones like Freddy's and the Whiskey Ward, serve 16 oz pints. Does Ikea sell Imperial glasses? I think they usually have the little crown and a glyph etched on the side and I think you have to go looking for them.

Stop talking about pints I beg of you

our fluid ounces are smaller

There are a lot of places in the US that use 14-oz pub glasses.

to the guy in the business suit at my restaurant today who ordered the salad and bottomless (making sure to enunciate this word) soup: 10% is not an acceptable tip. especially after you made me get you 4 more soups. please, do not come back. if you do, please request a different server to run their ass off for you.

I have teh total fear of going to Americky next month. I shall therefore not buy anything and let my brother do it all because he's used to your weirdy Americky ways. Hurrah!

Mickey, have you figured out that the only people who care when waiters bitch are other waiters? And even they don't care that much.

get me more soup, boy

Pls try to separate Mickey being Mickey from the shitty things that customers routinely do to waitstaff. Thank you.

See if you hate doing stuff for other people so much, why do you work as a waiter? Seriously, is there *nothing* else you can do?

soup don't serve itself

ailsa, while in college for a part time job - no, really nothing better than that i can do. now that i'm done with college - yes. working on it.

i spilled shit all over my shirt too so i had to rush home to try to wash and iron clothes before going back. ughhhh

xp The money is good and generally the people you work with are decent, but if serving makes you moan like Mickey, then quit.

Assuming a felon can get another job and all.

milo z, otm about the felony. i'm worried.

Home soup is killing the food service industry.

ha ha

i always try to subtly get someone to get something else instead of soup. biggest pain in the ass thing to serve. slows down everything. plz do stick to campbell's.

i could drink the shit out of a snakebite or a black and tan at the moment.

At the Longbranch in Knoxville you get beer served in a styrofoam coffee cup. It is cheap, though.

I like the places that serve bottled beer with a tiny, frosted glass

i was at an afterhours dive in memphis this weekend and they poured the contents of a bottled beer into a red solo cup. it felt like a high school keg party. i guess they don't want to give patrons glass bottles at 3:30 a.m.

many venues will also do this if the acts fear shit being thrown at them.

so that's why the Shimura Curves broke up

hahaha

1 US pint = 0.832673844 Imperial pint

plus, our pints are imperial

The plastic cup thing has something to do with making their lives x% easier should the place get busted.

xpost

yea, well out money isn't worth shit, so we get a better deal on beer!
