    I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

    This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

    Then bring me luck

    the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work

    Right Americans, I need an explanation. What on Earth are these kids doing wrong? Surely this is normal?

    image

    You’re meant to open a tab. The bartender keeps your card, and everything you order gets added to your tab. Then, before you leave, your tab is closed, your card is charged for everything at once, and you get your card back.

    That seems like a useful way for bars to take advantage of folk who are absolutely plastered.

    It just seems much easier to tap your card on a machine than wait for some big tally at the end of the night.

    What machine? The bartender/waitress usually has to go to a POS machine and close out manually. Plus how are they supposed to tally tips properly? Stiffing the waitstaff and causing more work is rude!

    The card reader, and yeah go to the POS machine, enter the drinks and make them tap a card? Doesn’t seem totally outlandish.

    People can pay with cash tips or they take a percentage of the transaction?

    Or even better bars can pay their staff properly?

    I’m not against tipping but it shouldn’t make up the majority of someone’s wages.

    Aye I don’t think they have touch and pay in the USA. They are still doing it all the old fashioned way.

    WAIT WHAT?

    Also, it’s not even they don’t have touch cards, they don’t even have the old hand-held thingies where you inserted your card and entered the PIN.

    They TAKE YOUR CARD AWAY when you want to pay so they use it in a big, non mobile device, sometimes to a place in a back room where you can’t see what they are doing with it. It’s very fucking distressing.

    this is literally not true? we definitely do have tap to pay and portable card readers lmao

    Oh you have them. As in “they exist and some places may use them”. But unless there has been some massive adoption in the last four years (the last time I’ve been in the states), the norm in restaurants/bars is still “we take your card from your hands and go to a place to swipe it for you there and then your sign”. Or at least that was that I’ve always experienced there.

    Keep in mind this is not new technology, around here, the handheld card readers have been the norm for… 25 years maybe? And the touch&go ones for at least a decade. So finding places where they take your card and swipe it in a big machine fells pretty weird. Hell, some of my debit cards don’t even have a magnetic band anymore, they wouldn’t work in those places.

    We have touch to pay most places except restaurants and bars, you’re right. Taking the card away is still the norm (although more and more are using the mobile machines–I think it is more common in bigger cities). But also, the POS machine isn’t in the back, you *can* see it. In restaurants that can be trickier because it’s usually near the kitchen, but bars they swipe your card right in front of you at the bar.

    Re: starting a tab at a bar, it’s so much better to just…see your total at the end of the night rather than have a bunch of separate charges. And now most bars (at least where I live) don’t hold your card, they just have signs saying they’ll automatically add a 20% tip if you don’t close before you leave.

    this is not even an internet persona i am just like this and i think thats even worse

    thesevenumbrellas:

    Lawyer: How would you like to handle the custody agreement?

    Parent: I want my wife to take one of my infant daughters to the UK and I’ll take the other one and we will never see each other again.

    Lawyer: You want to fucking what?

    unorganized ted lasso finale thoughts

    There wasn’t much question to me that Ted had to end up with Henry, whatever that looked like: moving back, a better custody arrangement, Henry moving…something had to change there. What I don’t like is that it feels like we didn’t develop this arc for Ted over the season. We start with him feeling conflicted/not knowing why he’s still in London, and then in the penultimate episode he reveals to his mother he is scared of being close to Henry because he knows Henry will leave.

    Personally, I now feel pretty bummed that Ted is now separated from his found family and I think it’s because they didn’t develop this story enough throughout the season.

    I wish we had seen Ted working on his fears about fatherhood and that work leading him to the conclusion “I love my life in Richmond, but being there for my son is what will make me truly happy”. In a season that was apparently going to lead us here, it feels like Ted’s ending was rushed.

    Plus, I feel pretty sad that we did get the emotional beats about him leaving with Rebecca/Higgins/the team/even the pub lads and Mae, because him telling everyone happened offscreen.

    Me, watching the Maisel finale: “Well, the fic writers can work with that”

    I don’t hate the flash forwards concept, but boy did I hate the 60 Minutes one

    Keep reading

    Based on the reviews I’ve read I am fairly convinced that:

    1. Yes, we are in for a disappointingly small amount of Lenny (personally, I think this is okay)
    2. But we will not have to see him die/Midge mourn him

    no one talk to me, i’m busy thinking about rebecca using “oklahoma”
