  • I need to try that. I used to use multiple workspaces all the time. Then I started having to remote into windows for work, so i got more monitors. Now I use multiple workspaces a lot less.

    I always found it weird: if I was on linux a single monitor was more than enough because I have multiple work spaces. Whereas on windows, I need multiple monitors. Windows: always the worst way to accomplish anything.







  • So I didn’t follow it back to the souce. Doesnt matter. I shouldnt bother replying to you because you are simply wanting to be an asshat who has a gotcha. You people suck, no intellectual desires at all.

    I will die on this hill. I have seen restaurants try and fail. I have known and worked with enough people that hate this idea. The don’t want their wages cut, and they know it will.

    UNLESS: These two always come up, and its reasonable: profit sharing or commissions. People are nervous about profit sharing (its the food biz after all) and comissions are just tips with extra steps.

    And me personally? I think everyone should earn the same: an hour work is the same no matter who you are, so its not like I want tipping.


  • Thats fair, I didn’t go that far down to verify the funding, in my source it only said it was conducted by Lloyd Corder, an adjunct professor at Carnegie Mellon University.

    I can accept that the industry shapes the narrative, and pointing out who funded this one is doing exactly that.

    But it was only one of many, and I will die on this hill: everyone I know does not want to stop making 40 - 50 dollars an hour, and they KNOW that will happen. They worry they will work longer with worse shifts.

    Every single restaurant that has tried this in cities I visit has failed. The good servers and bartenders go where the money is.

    Personally, yes tipping needs to go away, but everytime I see it tried, it fails.

    And I believe the overall quality of life would be better without tips (health care, security, etc) and I don’t want them. Hopefully we do get to that point.

    The one thing I keep thinking that would have to change for the US: universal health care and paid time off.

    Security would make the workers better off. But good luck getting that.
