No problem. Pretty sure I got the idea from someone here on Lemmy. Look at that, it's already been more useful to me than reddit.

Oh, yeah, those are crap. I went with scrub brush attachments for the battery-powered drill I already own. It cost like $20 for half a dozen heads of different sizes that chuck up like any normal drill bit. It's not as automated, but it's way easier and more thorough than scrubbing by hand.

Over. The end is most likely to be visible at all times.

And when adult labor dries up, you see Chik-Fil-A running a "summer camp" that puts grade school kids to work without pay. And 11 states working to make more child labor legal. And states trimming unemployment to attempt to force people into these shit jobs after they quit them during pandemic years.

Disorganized protest is not going to cut it. Me not tipping a bartender does absolutely nothing against the intentional machine built and reinforced at local, state, and federal level over generations.

If someone wants to take a local boycott action, they should stop going to bars and restaurants with a tipping structure. Then the loss is felt by the bar. Otherwise, the patron is getting their food/drinks, the bar makes their money, and the only party hurt is the wait staff reliant on tips.

Don't try to out "America's labor system sucks" me. I live here.

Classic didn't pick up on when they were flirting, only figured it out right before they moved halfway across the world.

Any sort of "my husband/wife/spouse is lazy/a nag/useless" or from the opposite perspective "I'm lazy/a nag/useless, I'm so lucky my husband/wife/spouse is a sucker and puts up with my bumbling incompetence".

Tips are stupid, but it's the system we live in. Knowing that and going to a bar and not tipping hurts the bartender, not the bar.

I bartended on the side. I finally gave it up mid-covid because the extra money I was earning didn't outweigh the exposure to sick people and people with deteriorating social skills.

The number of people who thought a server in the middle of a pandemic deserved less pay and more grief truly astounded me. Like bruh, I'm not here serving your drunk ass in the middle of covid for my enjoyment. Tip or I will prioritize every possible person at the bar before you.

I got into that latest bartending job because I had free time, I wanted a bit more money every month, and I'm decent at it from previous experience.

You answered your own question. Lots of the social aspect is on discord and you're not willing to use discord. That's it.

I took care of younger siblings, I got my taste of changing diapers, feeding, early years educating, schedule management, being "on" 24/7 for emergencies. No thank you. For me personally, being a mom with the typical gendered expectations would be a pile of hot trash with absolutely no upside.
