Reminder that services are not free. This IS MY JOB.
You want to message me dirty talk?! You pay for that!
You wanna tell me your deepest fantasies (with or without judgement depending on what you desire)?! You pay for that!
You want some pics that nobody else will have/see? You pay for that!
You want a lifetime sub to my Snapchat where you can message me anything you like (within reason)? YOU PAY FOR THAT!
SWers give a service and as with any other service worker we should be compensated and paid for it! We are literally service workers; We rely on subs and tips like any other service worker. (Also; always tip your waitperson! Don't be a dick!)
Some background - this is the FOURTH time I've had this same convo with this person. They consistently say they've subbed or tipped and they never have and never will. I'm generally a nice person so I walked them through subbing AND tipping on the off chance they didn't know. They fully understood and still won't; all they want is free content to get off to. After these messages I pointed them to PH and blocked them.
So based on the research I did, the average price of a sit-down meal in Thailand (not a street vendor, fast food or a luxury, 3-course meal) is roughly ฿60-150 (or ≈$1.57-3.95, in case you were curious). Also, of the sites I looked at, most of them said that breakfast is generally cheaper than lunch or dinner.
(Also, this is all just research and it might be absolutely incorrect, so please take it with a grain of salt. The exchange rates are accurate, but everything else about pricing might be wrong.)
The two pink notes were left by Sky, and they’re ฿100 notes, so what Sky left (฿200) more than likely covered the cost of the whole meal. And then my boy Prapai slapped that purple note down, too. That purple note is a ฿500 note. For all my food service workers out there, this is the equivalent of getting a $13 tip on a table whose bill was $8 max, but more than likely only about five bucks.
This stood out to me the very first time I watched this episode, and it made me super happy. From what I’ve found, tipping is not considered rude in Thailand like in some other countries in Asia, but it also isn’t expected. When people in Thailand tip, it usually only means leaving their spare coins or rounding up to the nearest note (i.e, leaving a ฿100 note on an ฿85 bill). Prapai left their server almost a 300% tip, and homeboy didn’t even think twice about it. And he didn’t do it to impress Sky (because Sky would have just rolled his eyes and said he was throwing around his wealth and showing off, let’s be honest), since Sky had already left the restaurant. Not only does this show just how rich he is, but also that he genuinely does have a good heart since he didn’t even hesitate.
Therefore, I’m headcanoning that Prapai is that customer that every server wants, and if you’ve ever worked in food service, y’all know the customer I’m talking about, and you probably had/have one in your restaurant; most likely a regular, knows his server’s name, patient and polite, tips fat and every server in the building knows his name and wants him in their section.
Okay, I think that’s enough overanalyzing the tipping habits of fictional tv characters for one day.
bruh i went to chillis yesterday with some friends after a winter guard competition (4th of 7 in our division pretty good for our first comp of the season!) and one of our teammates was like “i dont usually tip because in germany the tip is a part of the bill already and it should be like that here too”
um??? im sorry but this isnt germany??????? this is america where our food is not only shitty and overpriced but servers are very underpaid??? and our server was so nice!! i have several allergies and he helped me figure out the information i needed very efficiently for how busy it was, and he was lighthearted and upbeat the whole time.
discord mod riddle definitely asks a basic ass question and puts @everyone and then kicks if they dont answer 💀
@ everyone: which one of you neglected to feed the hedgehogs?
And no one responds because they are not trying to lose their heads. But then there’s you, who isn’t even in Heartslabyul dorm but got invited into the server by Ace and Deuce. And you respond happily with: I’ll come over and feed them!!! :D
You are too good for this world. Riddle loves you in the not-so-sane way. <3 he probably learns how to use Magicord just for your sake (but also so that he can turn the server into one for academic help/studying/etc before it can spiral out of control into something chaotic.
tattoo artist is too cool for sukuna. why would they try to make him sexy in a normal way.
you get it anon,,, i think part of what makes sukuna so disproportionately fuckable is the fact that he has never once cared about how fuckable he is. tattoo artist mob leader gang member sukuna just doesn't suit him (imo obviously of course) because they make him so hot it just circles back around to cringe. he's trying too hard. put him in a kitchen. it's where he belongs.
Thanks to EVERYONE'S recommendations on my post about How Do I Get A Knitting Circle To Adopt Me - A Woodcarver - Into Their Group, I have discovered:
My local library has a knitting/crochet club that welcomes other crafts, too! I will be attending that tomorrow, so maybe they'll adopt me!
There's a local woodcarving group that has monthly meetups! Granted it meets at a senior center and membership is encouraged which I can't do obviously but I'm going to see if that's like, a hard line or not
There are a couple small, independent craft stores that might have leads on more groups, I'll be trying to hit those up in the next few weeks and see if they have any leads!
My witchy shop used to have crafting meetups, I saw it on old FB events! That will be starting back up again soon, so I can hit that up too!
And here's a tentative one - there were so many others like me who expressed the same sadness of not being able to find a little crafting group where we could all work on our respective crafts and just have fun with crafty friends and learn neat things. So I'm talking to a friend about how complicated it would be to set up a discord server for us, because gd it, I know we all live far apart but if there's a way for all of us to do a craft night together once a month or whatever and become crafty friends, we should be able to do it, along with showing off our interesting things we make in between! So put a pin in this one, since I've only ever used discord, not really run one, but if I can make it work, I'm going to try when I have some time.
