Klingons have a proverb about listening when a hated enemy and a trusted ally tell you the same thing.

Sure, why not?

Tips for the one employee running several machines who bust their ass during heavy traffic hours to deal with machine issues, customer issues, etc all at the same time in the middle of a pressure cooker to keep the line going, hey, maybe. Tips just as another excuse to hold customers upside and see what spare bucks fall out of their pockets, no thanks.

I've been using self checkout a lot lately and I haven't encountered this yet.

According to the actual article, it sounds like it's only on machines that are at food places(see Starbucks) and the like, not any old self-checkout(yet) like at Wal-Mart.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I've only seen it at places that already had tip jars and the like.

Tipping a machine? Someone's been stealing ideas from Deep Rock Galactic again.

Hey, llyod works just as hard as the rest of us. He works harder than whitechapel charlie does anyway.

Right-wing conspiracy theorists are vaguely aware that one ruling class seems to control everything, but they're too stupid and/or stubborn to admit that this ruling class is exactly who socialists have always said it was: rich people.

That's why they invented their own definition of the ruling class, which is composed of "globalists", scientists, woke activists, bankers, and celebrities. And yes, a lot of this is code for "Jews", because it can't be stressed enough that the right-wing conspiracy theorist world is intertwined with Nazism.

The term "globalist" does a LOT of heavy lifting for them. It's sufficiently nebulous that any influential person they hate can be defined as a "globalist", while the people they like are never defined as "globalists" even if they literally have international business empires, as Trump does.

I save every sauce packet I get with my delivery orders. I am never buying ketchup again.

I stopped buying ketchup ages ago. Ketchup is only good for adding flavor to food that doesn't have any of its own.

Besides, hot sauce is better than ketchup on most foods in general.

There is only one place I really use ketchup, and that's Red Robin. There's something about the seasoning salt on their fries that is perfectly complemented by ketchup. It's amazing.

I hate to rain on perfectly good dystopian comedy, but that listing has been on their site for several years now: http://web.archive.org/web/20200803...t/career-opportunities/submersible-pilot.html

Someone dodged an implosion by not taking that job.

It's weird how you can get conservatives to agree that the corporatization of society is bad by talking about the lame-ass names of modern sports arenas like "3Com Park" or whatever. But if you switch to subjects such as worker rights, the environment, or wealth inequality, they suddenly revert back to "Praise God for corporations" mode.
