Lower your mask
- Thread starter Jean-F

Thanks for that ethan, it’s a bit disconcerting to have someone apprise you of something that is happening, then thinking that it may be worthy of discussion and posting it, only to be accused by mental pygmies of inventing it.
I attach an excerpt from an email on the subject sent to me by a NYC judge.
“It’s been my experience that tipped workers have always been the easiest to harass, because the very nature of the tip means the customer starts off having power over you in a way customers don't over other types of workers.
Some people when they have power, abuse it, and that's apparently growing.
In states where they have gotten rid of the "sub-minimum" wage for servers, the incidents of harassment are much lower.
Min wage workers were getting harassed for enforcing mask policies, and now customers are saying to servers "Take off your mask or I won't tip you" kind of bullying.”
Yes mate, heading north on the tube? Then don't change on the Northern Line at Euston, it's quicker to change branches at Camden Town.
You can have that one for free.

I believe the correct term is 'Forest People of Central Africa', and on behalf of the said minority I find your misuse of such language to be offensive!
Seriously though, what's there to discuss?
Bunch of pricks are behaving like pricks. Lodge an official complaint, refuse to serve them, get a new job, launch a Twitter campaign to shame these foul beings and bring the world awareness of your plight... or just kick them in the face until they learn some manners, thus resolving both the minimum-wage waitress community problems and those of anyone else on whom they might inflict thier particular brand of minor knobbery.
If this is the absolute worst someone has to face in their daily life, then things aren't that bad...

Having lived in the US for a number of years until very recently. Tipping is expected, it's a huge thing. However, not once did I ever see or take part in a tip variance based upon looks. Those trends just sound like a bunch of Chad's being *****.

This thread is not lolworthy like many of Jean F posts

are you sure it was lower your mask and not lower your panties ?
That's usually a lot more than just the tip....they expect the whole shaf...I better stop there...
Chuckled at that then immediately felt bad for chuckling about people getting routinely murdered. But hey, they want to keep their guns.

Chads? Like the guy from Nickelback??
Go to agree this is a daft thread to post and there is no actual discussion to be had. So some guys did something brainless and frat-boy-esque, it's hardly a real "thing" and most waitresses/establishments would not stand for it.
American Chavs?

Don't ever change at embankment from district to circle unless you fancy a ten min walk.

I’ve encountered signs saying “please remove your mask to speak to security” at a few sites I deliver to / collect from, not via an intercom but face to face, usually I assume because the guard is foreign and can’t understand you, I don’t take mine off but see plenty who do it...
You thought about putting this in cuisine? Put down the bong cheech. This thread should not be put anywhere. Something you heard that may or may not have happened on another continent, with no real consequence whether it did or did not happen, is not exactly a fire starter is it?

There are good and bad ways to go about keeping them, though. Plenty of other countries with comparable firearm ownership still manage to keep the mass shooting count down.

The new term for dudebros, or the clean-cut douchebag jocks of yesteryear.

Logic would be simply letting them destroy themselves, while subtly taking ownership of their assets through foreign investment.
