@chrisjohnnick It's BS. Minneapolis as a city has implemented the 20% service charge and then ask for a tip on top.
I am a trained chef and I would hate to work in a restaurant kitchen now, and I would really hate to be a server.
My wife and I avoid restaurants at all costs these days. We simply don't go out to eat for entertainment or because we are short on time or too tired to cook. Those are salad nights now.
IMO the industry is in huge trouble, but there are still tons of people who use food as escapism, and restaurants (dining in and of course Door Dash) tick that box even if they bitch about the tipping culture soon after.

@Mizmazzle I thought we were going to have to name it and make it a permanent fixture of the yard
-
@SKT Looking good my man. Do you get to keep the wood that landed in your yard? There looks like some nice pieces that could be milled, or a shitload of firewood?
-
@Denman-John thanks John, you know I thought about keeping some but it was pithy and eaten up (silver maple) as the tree was mostly dead. Happy to see it carted away
-
@SKT And I wanted to ask you for a stump for chopping firewood)) Can you send it by DHL to Russia?))
-
@Walery-Smirnoff on its way!

Wondering if anyone was having long delivery times from UPS? Several packages incoming including one from IHUK which is usually 2-3 days here to Ohio. Once my IHUK package(express) was en route(moving) I got a delivery date of Tuesday next week, began moving this past Wednesday. Same for a package coming(and going for a trade) from the West/central USA 8 business days... Usually 3-4. A few weeks ago my IH hoodie had 3 "mechanical failures" in the different places. Seems odd!

@Mizmazzle said in Random Rants:
@SKT time to switch to a dark roast coffee.
The darker the roast, the less caffeine, assuming the same varietal and processing.
I guess beyond the flavor that’s why I love those floral, fruity, acidic, and sweet light roasts. I need my gogo juice!
Think it, be it.

@mclaincausey You are 100% right,the misconception comes from people thinking that they get wired from drinking dark roast/espresso,but it’s from the combination of alcohol and caffeine you may have ingested during the night. If you had a couple of drinks at dinner had dessert,a shot of sambuca and an espresso you might find your heart racing later on in the evening or experiencing what they were calling in the 80s,the Yuppie heart attack.

@mclaincausey haha. I had a feeling someone was going to fact check that comment. For humor purposes “dark roast” sounded funnier. Though I’m not sure how humorous the comment was at its core haha
