I think I have a couple landline phones around somewhere. And my house still has wires and jacks. I could go retro any minute now!

Thanks for those.

I don't think it is very common knowledge. I wonder how many people earning $2.xx / hr know this.

Can you give a cite for this? I don't think this happens everywhere.

I also do this most of the time.

Cash is also much less likely to go anywhere but where you want it to go.

It has been a long time but when I waited on tables for $2.xx / hour no one ever told me about any minimum I had to make or the employer would pay more. If that exists it is new and I wonder how common it is. If my tips were shit, I took that hit and got no help from the employer.

I was fortunate to be from a state where minimum wage for tipped persons was the same as everyone. I also kept that rate when I transferred to a state where tipped employees were paid $2.xx / hour. My mistake was moving to a different employer and the lower hourly rate.

A lower hourly rate for tipped employees is pure profiteering bullshit on the part of employers. It should be outlawed at the federal level. There is no good reason for an employer to get in the middle of an employee and customer. Customers tip employees, NOT employers.

This hits home with me. I have been much happier since I removed and reduced the time I spend with assholes. Better to be alone than shit on nonstop.

You don't need tools. A pipe, shotgun shell and a hammer will do it.

Surprised Air Canada's lawyers had the bravado to make claims like this. So glad they lost, I hope this becomes precedent for anything similar.

I agree. Autosave should be enabled by default.

I also own the extended editions (on DVD). I still have not watched all the extra content. It was just too much!
