fixed wages incentivize sub-par customer service
Not really. If they had fixed wages, it doesn't mean they don't get tips anymore. That being said, a job as a waiter with a normal wage plus tips suddenly becomes a very attractive job, which means higher demand for that job.
How many people actually tip hairdressers?
I always tip my hairdresser.

Or an hdmi to component adapter. $30usd versus $150usd for a small TV.

I heard that HDMI component adapters didn't work so well. Like hit and miss kind of deal.
I got a generic from RadioShack that works decently. Slight color washing, but that kind of comes with the idea of it.

You figure it would work on an ancient TV from the very early 2000's?
All text will be entirely illegible, but it'll show up on the screen.

It's okay. I'm a good translator of gibberish.
No, I mean you'll need a magnifying glass and something to counter the Vaseline effect. It's tiny and smeared.

Boycotts, write-ins, unionizing, hoping Congress closes loopholes for skirting federal minimum wage. None of those are likely.

Why are people so fucking retarded.

Why is it so difficult to get people to just be decent -- fair prices for fair wages for fair work.
People aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.

I'd opt for the latter, but that would require convincing large chains that it would be necessary or profitable.

And how would we go about that?

Surely some restaurants have integrity and give their employees a decent wage that doesn't rely on tips, right?
Fast food is pretty much it. Starbucks baristas get minimum wage, Joe Mug gets ~$2.35 an hour before taxes.

If you give away your tips, you just made $12 on a twelve hour shift.

That's fucking criminal.
Yeah, and it's allowed because of the logic that the restaurant lowers the price of food to make it more accessible, and the rest of the servers' wages are filled in by the consumer. The alternative is taking out the hidden cost and paying the servers full wages.

I'd opt for the latter, but that would require convincing large chains that it would be necessary or profitable.

i would have great difficulty accepting tips if i worked as a waiter

i'd probably just either donate it or give it to someone else
There's a big difference between gratuitous tips and tips. There were a lot of days that I made less than minimum wage as a server, and days where I made $15 an hour doing it. The former were much more often than the latter.

Point is, tips are legitimately the income of servers. If you give away your tips, you just made $12 on a twelve hour shift.
i really don't care
I'm just saying, most people have jobs because they are saving for something or paying bills. You can't do either on $40 a week; you'd spend that entire thing week to week on gas and essentials alone.

Their fault for getting PBR.
Same situation when someone gets Bud Lite on draft when Yuengling and Shocktop are available.

In that context, it's perfectly valid. But I've never actually heard any self-respecting medical professional refer to it that way. It's used exclusively by anti-vaxxers to pretend there's some legitimate basis for not vaccinating at the recommended intervals. It's similar to creationists propping up 'intelligent design' as having any scientific legitimacy--it's really just creationism in a lab coat.
I personally don't see why you would space them out past the recommended dates-- the recommended dates are when the vaccine would be the most effective. But if someone disagrees with that, they should at least be able to recognize that there's an importance to vaccines and that there are deadlines you have to get them by.

As long as you're keeping your child from contracting polio, I couldn't care less when you decide to do it.
Yeah, I mean, it's like... anti-vaxxer types like to use a lot of correct-sounding terms. Sometimes the only decent way to sort them out is to see if the professionals are saying the same, with similar rationale. Truth is, no honest doctor would ever recommend 'spacing them out', especially for a perfectly healthy person with no previous history of adverse effects from vaccinations. There would be reasons like, I dunno, maybe the child's parents can't afford them all at once, or maybe the kid had an unusual reaction to a vaccine.

The notion that 'spacing them out' is some kind of default, standard practice is completely bogus.
Nobody said that it's the standard practice.

There's no risk with "spacing out vaccinations" as long as you get them by the deadline (i.e. HPV vaccine by 24/21, even though it's recommended at 15).

Exactly. And thats what my docs told me. Its what I'm doing with my child.
Just keep in mind that different vaccines have different deadlines. As long as you get them all by that point, everything will be fine.
