    You're an Uber driver in N Idaho. Remember that story about driving nurses?

    Everything else is bullshit.
    And your point? I made 1800 last week up here... 1000 so far this week here and its slow season... and every single thing I have mentioned in this thread is the truth... I have no reason to lie.

    You clear $50k a year max after expenses and taxes. You claim to be in N Idaho and the Bay Area at the same time. And are a world traveler. You're full of shit.

    There are many legal aggressive tax mitigation s So? I hope they get caught.
    The obvious question this poses is what Taxpayer-Funded program are you benefitting from, Damone?

    Otherwise, what business is it of yours?

    My thoughts on tipping:

    1. It's literally people voluntarily giving workers extra money. Imagine thinking this is a bad thing.

    2. It should only occur when paying for a luxury service, such as dining at a full service restaurant or having food delivered to your house.

    3. In some states it's legal to pay servers half or significantly less than minimum wage, and I agree that is bullshit. Tipping is a solution for low wage workers to earn more, not a reason for businesses to pay them less.

    4. Tips shouldn't be expected. I was a server for years, and overall I made damn good money. The secret is to always have the mentality that nobody owes you a tip. You have to constantly earn it. At one point I went 6+ months in a row with every table tipping me. No stiffs. Other servers would complain about a stiff at least once or twice a week. I'd always say to them "what could you have done better?"

    5. If we eliminate tipping and instead charge customers more, we are still paying the same for the service, but without the option to give more or less based on the service received. It also removes the internal reward of feeling about giving somebody some extra money. People LIKE to tip.

    To be fair, I should've endorsed all of this, except the condescending "what could you have done better?" part.

    I agree with all the rest.

    The aggressive tax mitigation policies are the sale of renewable tax credits and bonus depreciation. They are completely legal. The sort of not legal tax shelters once pushed by the Big Accounting and Law firms were busted up with lots of jail time and penalties.

    If a waiter gets triple sat due to an error by a hostess, I really don't see whats wrong with asking the question so that the waiter reevaluates how they handled the situation.

    Did they move faster? Did they explain to the customers the situation? Did they ask the manager for help? Did they see if another server could take one of the tables? The list goes on and on. I'm sorry, I understand that there are factually people and situations where people don't tip. But if you never evaluate and look for ways to improve, and instead just immediately claim you're a victim of circumstance, it won't improve anything. It's self-defeating.

    If a server is slow, uncharismatic, etc... What can they do to improve that? Those are things that can be fixed. I'm just saying that it's always better for people to focus on themselves, because that's all you can control. The only other option I guess is to just bitch and hope these situations magically stop happening. I'm not big on that.

    I never had any negative feedback from anyone I said this to. I'd always say it very nicely. I was always at the top or near the top in tips earned and customer feedback at the restaurants I worked at. So all I was doing was just passing on the very mentality that put me there. It's a gift for them to take or leave.

    Thank you, Sigmeund. Let's move on to the Oedipus Complex, shall we? This is tedious at this point.

    Servers who are not in school and under 22 are losers.

    Thanks Bro!
    Yeah but you pass for white so your team doesn't get any credit. They just think a cool white guy gave them a nice tip.

    You’re missing my point. I get reamed on taxes. I follow the law while taking everything legal way to avoid taxes and pay the absolute minimum. If I don’t follow the law,, they will fuck me. And they have the power to do so. If someone is evading taxes (vs legally avoiding) then fuck you, and I hope you get caught and get fucked royally. I’ve had my dust ups with various tax authorities. So fuck anyone who cheats on their taxes.

    This is an entirely different argument as to what I think of the tax code, the IRS and government in general. I’m sure you’re smart enough to parse this out.

    Also Mike I moved to CDA last March if you have any degree which I doubt your dumb ass would have figured out that I had moved.

    Also... I did every single one of those trips, plus flew to the bay area for 2 weddings... some were cruises some straight there
