‘Pure greed:’ Etiquette expert explains why tipping has gotten out of control
  • Here in the UK most takeaways charge a delivery fee but pay the drivers a set hourly / nightly rate whether it's busy or quiet. Expecting people to pay twice for delivery isn't acceptable.

  • I don't think you know how numbers work. Why would they be paying coworkers out of a tip that never existed?

    Today I finally picked up my phone from in-warranty repair (motherboard replacement), I found out the camera doesn't work (it did before).
  • I had the second gen nexus 7 that seemed to pick up what was a common issue with the power button (something essentially came unglued or something inside and it'd stop working). I sent it off for repair and they wouldn't fix it because it was 'water damaged' (it wasn't) and they wanted something ridiculous like £75 for basically popping off the back cover and stopping all work.

    Robbing bastards Asus will never get another penny out of me.

    California workers will get five sick days instead of three under law signed by Gov. Newsom
  • Sick leave in the UK is still pretty shit unless your company covers it or you get a generous amount of paid sick days. SSP is a pittance and needs rethinking and employers attitudes towards illness needs sorting out (pay rises being related to illness being one thing).

  • A friend of mine chased a PhD instead of looking towards industry for jobs. He kinda found out roughly how much a few of us were paid compared to him with a lot less years in education and he was NOT happy. He spent the rest of the night trying to belittle people until people called him out on his bullshit.

    You had unrestricted access to the internet as a child, didn't you?
  • Been on the Internet maybe 23 years or so and I've seen some wild shit back in the day that didn't phase me. Got shown some stuff on kaotic recently and it upset me a hell of a lot more than it would have 13 year old me.

    Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade
  • It seemed the last incentive they were trying to get people to upgrade was throwing as many cameras as possible on the back. Companies need to try and innovate again and the folding screens is at least one way of them trying something new. Prices have also climbed dramatically so I'm not surprised people are bothering to upgrade.

    Supposed Steam Deck killers are missing the point
  • You could have had a miniaturised nuclear reactor and I still don't think it would have kept up with the game gears appetite 😁 great little device but missed the mark on intended use.

    Why do people brush their teeth first thing in the morning?
  • I find minty toothpaste makes it a lot more difficult to eat afterwards. My grandad used to work in Egypt and he'd bring the orange toothpaste home and it was much easier to wake up, brush then eat using that stuff.

  • Having seen the top end of an NHS trust some of it is similar to leadership at a big business in terms of attitudes. They care much more about reputational damage than dealing with problems sometimes.
