That's great! Restaurants were only open for take out here.....so, I had to pick it up and save money on tipping.

Ouch. You don't tip for carry out? During a "pandemic" where businesses could barely stay open and employees were/are struggling to make ends meet? Alright....

Well it's the businesses faults for caving to everything. Most give you shitty service now and tack on all sorts of fees to cover for the policies the idiots enacted they elected. Fuck this, I'm cooking myself mostly these days whenever I find time. Nobody is giving me any "tip" on my 10 hour daily progamming shift. And I still find time for a run/work-out. No tips from me on carry-out unless the service/food is above and beyond. You want tip? Open your fucking business and treat me like a worthy customer, give me the works. Otherwise stay closed and go fuck yourself. Had it with this Covidiot shit. What, you stay open and resist? Here take my money!

We don't have free speech because if I fucking say the election was stolen on any major platform, I'm censored. I have to continually correct you because you seem to not understand any context.

My favorite 5 restaurants (local, fuck those tasteless chains run by mindless zombies) seem to be doing a lot of takeout business. It looks like a lot of people have been let go as you don't need several waiters to handle take out only. Most have raised their prices a little. They generate an incredible amount of trash with all the containers.

I've mostly been tipping about 10 -15% for takeout. Typically 25% when we used to eat in. We eat at cheap places so $5 extra on a $20 Mexican dinner at the local taqueria is no big deal. These people work way harder than I do.

Throw them a couple bucks, they earn it and they are preparing your food.

Wife and I dined out at a local steakhouse several times last year when things were slower. We often tipped 40-50% (with good service of course) of our bill because:

1) How else is the server gonna get by?
2) The restaurants were so slow that there was no way they could make a living.
3) We can afford it, and we can use dining out to discuss business: business write off.
4) We enjoy being able to give.

I get your gripe with all the fees restaurants always want to upcharge you for. I generally tip 20%. Bad service I will tip, but there have been a few a-holes in the past that I've left nothing.

But we cook at home 99% of the time - all organic produce, and organic grass fed meats. It's hard to find that in local restaurants. Even "healthy" places to eat, generally aren't that healthy.

Anyways, I get it - but it's nice to give generously when you're able to.

And if you are healthy don't get the experimental biologic agent. It's not a vaccine, there are very effective treatments for this latest variant of the cold, and we have no idea of the intermediate and long term effects this experimental agent will have.

If your not healthy, get better or die so the rest of us can get back to life.

I agree but you're also not in CA anymore. The surcharges from various "ordinances" are just passed onto the consumer and are already around 15% of the base price, then add 10% tax onto it. I actually don't mind having more space in the restaurant, we had a really good experience due to the 25%-50% indoor dining rule, with an open door letting the breeze in and a room just filled with the right amount of parties to not get too crowded. I'm happy to pay for this experience. I also always tip the delivery people, but if I pick it up I rarely tip. Because the CA ordinances (aimed to aid the actual servers) for service apply regardless of full service or no-service take-out.

I see all these fat ass people with diabetes whining about Covid and vaccinations. If they’d get some exercise and change their diet, stop drinking and smoking, take some vitamins they’d be much healthier. They don’t actually want to survive. They just want the healthy to be as miserable as they are. Fuck them all!

mell says

I don't disagree with your sentiment. Tips go to the employee though 95% of the time unless it's a small place and the owner serves you. I don't want to punish employees doing their job because the owner doesn't want to open up as normal. I also don't want to punish owners because the state government is fucked up. The margins are already shitty on your average restaurant.

Either way, unless I've had the food before, I'm not certain what the end result will be with take out. So I just still tip. Non-tippers are the reason you'll get shit service and potentially get someone spitting in your food if you're a repeat customer and don't tip. Not right, but reality. Those people bagging your food up are likely getting less than $10-15/hr. You can't live on that. And no, I'm not for increasing minimum wage, just open up.

Me and the 3 kids just got a hair cut on Friday. Cheap cut at $58 for all four of us. Tipped $42 for an even $100. Sure these people got stimulus and some don't want to go back to work. I don't want to penalize the ones that want to work though. Otherwise everything shuts down and no one makes money and shit escalates real quick into an actual crisis.

It's fucked up times and you know I think covid is overblown. The wife and I try to take care of people as much as we can though. I get the frustration, but direct it at those that deserve it, your government.

Stop saying we elected these people. We can't verify the vote and even if we could, it's 99.99% of the time that a CLONE is picked to run against whomever.

Here's a question I bet you'll have a difficult time answering - name 5 people WORSE than Biden to run for president? You can pick from all the governors and congresspeople you can think of. Who is more crap than Biden? I can name 5 people better than him - Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Dennis Kuchinch, Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump, Mike Gravel. Mike Gravel is 90, he's still be better than Biden.

Would it be weird to slash the tires on your own car so your wife doesn't go get this shit? I think I'm shifting her mindset, but I'm ready to go loco on the situation if I can't stop her via rational thought. She's not dead set on it either. She's just been shamed because the geezers don't want it so everyone can get it now. So everyone she knows is talking about how they got it and they're saying why not?

I honestly don't even care if there are legit side effects to any of the vaccines or not. My wife is healthy and young. Covid won't kill her or me. We haven't killed our mom's yet and have seen them a decent amount (dads are dead). We haven't killed our kids. We've traveled frequently, though it was "recommended" (not law) that we don't. We've been in the known presence (after the fact) of 2 active covid cases for 5+ hours in a not ventilated basement with about 20 people.

I'm very anecdotal. If I see less private jets at the airport I drive by over 6 months to a year, something is going on. Less trains going through town. Seeing less trucks on the expressway with obvious things like lumber. We have a set and forget mindset with investing and did a review today with our advisor and we're up 50% YoY. People not working and gains like that are fucked up. Something ain't right. A senile POTUS. There are too many boxes being checked that things are fucked up. And I don't think stimulus is the explanation for the most part, it just doesn't hurt.

I think Trump set up a solid economy and I think the stimulus has put the blindfold on us as to what reality is. All so we could get the oldest and least logical POTUS in the history of our country. I hope whoever is pulling the puppet strings like what they've created. I don't think this ends well.

Nobody expects tips for take-out.....not during a scamdemic, pandemic, zombie apocalypse or alien invasion. However, when I sit down, eat a nice steak and receive exceptional service I like to tip above and beyond.

If you start tipping for take-outs you might as well start tipping me in crypto for sharing valuable infos regarding Bitcoin, Tesla buying Bitcoin and other quality Altcoins.

You tip them because another human did stuff for you. It's not complicated. And if you actually have money it's a way to help other people out during a rough time. Flag this comment, but it's fact, you seem massively selfish. Cook your own fucking food if you're going to be a dick.

This is the exact reason most people dislike people from CA. Most you guys here are solid, but this above is what the representation of your state is across the country. It's why I haven't been in 3 years now and bailed on a Tahoe trip this summer. I don't even know why the illegals stay with such cheap asses.

Covid was totally overhyped / sensationalized and used for political reasons. What has that to do with getting the shot? You would rather get covid and be sick for 2 weeks. I rather get vaccinated and feel sick one day after the shot :) I am at zero risk of dying from Covid but I will get the yearly shot. Just like I get the flu shot. I dont give anyone shit about it....I just make fun of people who try to scare people (dementia in 6 weeks, 1-2 years until death). Its my daily entertainment.

This is all normal....there has to be anti-vaxxers that think its all a conspiracy and that vaccinated people get dementia in 6 month.

There also has to be people that believe 9-11 was a false flag and that the US government is behind the mass murder. It would be boring if we would all believe the same.

Any business that shows even the slightest resistance to the terrorism coming down from Fraudulent Fauci will get MASSIVE tips from me.

100% agree. We went to a nice dinner and they told us they will have 50% capacity (i guess those are the guidelines)
50% capacity my ass....every seat was taken. This placed was packed and the service was exceptional. I tipped extra.

Bitcoin says

You won't get sick from Covid if you're healthy. I've only known one person that "kind" of got sick out of 30+ people positive tested and it was likely a withdrawal from certain behavior. You won't be sick for 2 weeks. You lose smell and think you have a sinus infection. I've been around people with active covid cases unknowingly. It's not highly transmissible.

There's also no conspiracy or anti-vax situation here. You literally won't die from Covid if you're under 60 and are not a land whale. Beer is the worst thing I ingest into my body. Everything else is food and mostly healthy. There's literally no point in getting this vaccination. None for someone my age. I've gotten every other requested vaccination in my life beside flu. I'm alive. My sicknesses have been few and far between. Factor in that literally no one really wants it, but are being shamed by a minority of people.

If you're okay taking a poke with no long term evidence of side effects and not FDA approved, go right ahead. If they haven't approved it and they constantly approve meds that fuck people up, be my guest taking any of this shit. You've taken something completely unknown in the long term.

Thanks Dr. Wookie! Wish I would have known earlier. Oh well, now I have to live with dementia.

No they're not. They have to feed their own family. They have to feed their employees families. It's not as cut and dry as you'd like to think.

IL has been better than I would have expected outside of Chicago with not giving a fuck about covid. Situation is clearly different in CA. The Newsom recall action is great. That's what needs to happen. These are executive orders and not legally enforceable.

I believe you've said you're an IC with your programming work. So you are essentially your own business. But it's just you contracting your work out. Imagine if you had a secretary or other staff and your government basically shuts you down. You've met your secretaries kids, etc. You do what you have to and keep the doors open. I cannot blame a business for wanting to keep the doors open and lights on.

That said, if they're mask shame and vax shaming they can go fuck themselves. I'd love for businesses to outwardly be combative towards covid, but the Karens of the world will still buy product. It's a balancing act.

Question everything Bitcoin. Question everything. As much as we troll each other I wish no ill will on any human unless they fuck with my family. You shouldn't have taken this vaccine and I'm dead serious that I'd keep note of your BP at minimum and maybe just do an annual checkup. It sounds like it's quicker for those with adverse reactions, but who knows? No one does because it's only been in mass production for 3 months. Any trials were on trivial amounts of people and not FDA approved.

I'm pretty sure the wife is not going to take it now. Thank god these stories are hitting MSM finally. Sad part is I don't trust them for most other things, but if they're covering it then it's clearly a big issue as it goes against the brainwashing of getting the vax. No one should die from a vaccine for something that won't kill them anyway. This isn't polio.

FDA Freezes Johnson & Johnson Coronavirus Vaccine Rollout After Six Blood-Clot Cases

This is great news really. There's now a valid and plausible objection to taking the vaccine. You shouldn't be forced to risk your life potentially. It's no different than spreading this to old people. I won't take the vaccine and they can stay home. Sounds like a win win to me. Goodbye vaccine passports. This really put me in a good mood now.

Thanks Dr. WOokie (hopefully this wont be marked as personal to call you Dr. lol)

I will add blood clot to the list. 6-13 weeks blood clot, 6month dementia, 1-2years death. The good news is, I can still have a pool party with blood clot and I have 5 1/2 month left until I wont remember.

feeling a little clotted today...guess I gotta stretch and take the doggy for a walk now.

Bitcoin says

Thanks Dr. WOokie (hopefully this wont be marked as personal to call you Dr. lol)

I don't mark your stuff personal unless it's personal. Patrick has verified this.

Don't know your age, don't care to know it. But if you're under 50-60 there's a fraction of a fraction that you'd die from it. There's a fraction of a fraction that you'd die from the vaccine. What is the point in being worried about either of those tiny, tiny probabilities of death? Just don't engage in the covid fear or vaccine shame people and let me live my life and do what I want to my body.

You can joke about the clotting and dementia all you want, people are suffering from these ailments and/or dying. I guess that's funny? Maybe it's a small amount, but it was enough to pull the vaccine you supposedly took. It's not a joke. FDA/CDC allows all sorts of meds that kill people and they're pulling this vaccine? Unapproved mind you. This really isn't a funny topic yet you make it a joke. People dying from a vaccine they didn't need to take. Hahahahahaha, so funny. Tell that to their family.

Let's not turn this into a BTC thread. We already know your prediction of 1.2k was a historic failure.
Let's stay on topic. 6 weeks until blood clotting, 5 1/2 months until dementia and death in 1-2 years. Doggy is ready for his walk....I gotta un-clot now.

Vaccine shamming is real. Wife cancelled or the facility cancelled her J&J shot. I'm explaining to her that covid won't kill you, but this shot might. The fact that agencies that already allow medication and things that actually kill people daily pulled the plug on it is alarming. I wouldn't touch any of this shit as a thinking person. These are all just short term issues. No clue if even minor clotting now, could cause future issues 1 year down the road or 5.

Just watched a brief part of the presser Fauci did from the White House. He's lying. I didn't catch who the other guy was (name) but he was physically directing Fauci. Going to look into it later. It was a weird interaction for the 5min I watched. Fauci seemed like this guys bitch. I don't know if Biden spoke either. This is becoming a shit show for a minor flu that we are damn near at herd immunity for.

This is true - just realize you have the power to vax shame the other way as well. I believe my neighbor was trying to politely shame me when he asked if I got my shot - so I politely replied and said I wouldn't consider it until it had actually passed FDA approval and safety checks; this had the side effect of me questioning his intelligence. He doesn't talk to me anymore.

Good for you for looking out for your wife. It's good to be on the same page. My wife and I are selective-vaxxers and carefully consider what goes in our bodies and children's bodies. Not sure if you saw the facebook group where people discussed the reactions, but it's alarming. This link should get you there - it's public, so you shouldn't need an account to read it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/allvaccinesarefake/?multi_permalinks=228772759017559

Fauci is a bitch. He's trying to keep the fear going so people get their shots, but I feel like the cracks are starting to show in their billion dollar venture.

The newest scare tactic seems to be the following message circling around the interwebz: sure, you probably won't die from the covid if you're not elderly, but you'll most def lose your sense of smell and all food and beverages you used to love would smell and taste like shit for the rest of your life, especially steak and coffee.

We're noticing the mental effects on the older vaccine recipients we know in Santa Cruz. Short term memory loss seems to be marked in people who were fine before the jab. Likely immune inductance against nerve and brain. They try to compensate for the missing memory, but can't quite tell it isn't there any more, but it is a deficit. They are also a bit spacey and not nailed down.

The lady that does my hair is just 60 (got both jabs and got very sick), and she couldn't remember anything we talked about at our previous session and she usually remembers everything.

its your body.....If you dont get vaxxed, absolutely fine. If you get vaxxed, your choice. Simple. I understand, many are pissed about the scamdemic. We have a nice restaurant in walking distance and it had to close.....i loved getting drinks there and tumble home across the golf course....covid shut it down and we hope they re-open this summer. I am also fed up with the scamdemic and using this for political reasons.
There are clowns on both sides.....the extreme ones always tell you you will get this and that and die if you dont do this and that.

The entire J&J story shows that the system is working. It will now be reviewed thoroughly and then a decision will be made that ensures safety.

again, your body, your choice. I am happy to be vaxxed. I dont care what people say or think about it or what they do with their body. One more time....your body, your choice.
