2+ Hours of Thai Massage

Legs were stretched, hip flexors were poked, shoulders were pulled apart…etc.

She warned me she was going to get up in my business, she was all around the business. I’m just happy that I didn’t have to deal with Mr. Happy. That would’ve been awkward.

I was also surprised how much body contact and leverage the massage therapist gets when doing this.

I feel like I’ve been run through a meat grinder. My calves have knots in them, and my upper back feels stretched out.

Then I got on a 30 minute call to discuss the project in New Orleans. It’s going to be even worse than the project in San Antonio. So my state of euphoria after the massage was short lived.

Back to the stressors of having to solve problems. Like shit & sewage backing up on a vessel problems. Not to mention to air conditioning with summer on its way…in New Orleans.

I need a nap, and maybe an edible.

It's really indicative of society that my dasher had a moment of abject joy when I tipped him 3 dollars at the door.

If there is an option to leave a tip leave a tip!

I work in the gig industry; I deliver groceries to peoples houses. Today a lady asked me if the company I work for pays me. I informed her that yes they do pay me and that a 5 star rateing equals a bonus. She took this to mean that she didn’t need to tip me, which is SO not okay. The company pays me but they don’t pay me per hour they pay me per delivery. Very frequently this means that w/o good tips and ratings I don’t make minimum wage. As the situation stands if you can’t afford to include a tip in your order to use a service you cannot afford to use that service. This includes services like Uber, Lyft, GrubHub, Postmates, Instacart, etc. leave a fucking tip! If you don’t think you should be responsible for gig workers making minimum wage I agree! The way you can change this is by voting! Vote for ballot measures and politicians who are working to end the wage theft companies like Uber get around by making all their drivers “independent contractors” despite us not actually being true contractors. As for why I work there, I lost my job, I’m trying to start my own company but in the meantime I need to pay my bills and I need a flexible job. So to be clear, if you can’t afford to tip you can’t afford to use a service and if you don’t want to tip then DONT USE THE SERVICE. Gig workers DESERVE TO BE TIPPED. Oh and if we were rude but you got your food or to your destination w/o having to use your own car we at least deserve gas money so throw us a few bucks!

Tip Your Delivery People!

People have all sorts of things delivered nowadays via services like Ubereats, Grubhub, Amazon, and InstaCart. These delivery people are contract employees which means they’re not paid hourly instead they receive a commission for every delivery they complete. These commissions are pretty paltry, usually only a small percentage of the overall purchase. Delivery drivers rely on 2 things to maximize their earnings. The first is speed, the quicker they can drop off your stuff the quicker they can get to the next customer. More customers = more $$. So be there and be ready for your delivery person. Secondly TIP! Tips are the lifeblood of the delivery person, tips make up for the TINY commission they receive and help sustain their ability to keep using their car and their gas to bring you your stuff. Delivery is a luxury, a service, and unlike the 1900s not something provided to you on behalf of your local grocer. If you cannot afford a decent tip you cannot afford to have things delivered. The only exception to this rule is those who are disabled, live in a food dessert, or are otherwise housebound. If however you, as most of us are, are able bodied enough to walk, drive, or bus to your local restaurant or grocery store you then should TIP the people using THEIR resources including their body (walking and carrying) to bring you YOUR purchase. Again for those in the back, if you can do something yourself but choose to have someone else do it for you TIP that person for their service!

Will Leaving a Cash Tip Open Us Up to This Kind of Fraud?

Well, we may decide to stop leaving cash. The question in my header is inspired by two disturbing stories linked to by Glenn Reynolds — both of which seem to suggest that if you leave a “tip” line open on a dinner charge, (or, actually, even if you…
