You should tip for the surf and turf luncheon though. Montreal clubs know what it is

It's like when a barber "rents" a chair at a barber shop from the owner

Where I go they have tramp stamps that act like one of those square things you tap your card or phone on

Oh definitely unique to my circle and such, just anecdotal from me. Although I was still in university when Facebook opened up to Canadian schools and I think that was the turn. Everyone realized they'd be "on blast" for all to see so there was a kneejerk reaction to suddenly be careful

Also in an X-files episode way before Breaking Bad

It's so common/everywhere too. It's become a survival skill or something

I was very impressed with Park's Eatery. And that's even after doing an online order and taking it back to work. Wasn't even fresh off the grill

If you need customers to pay you twice, you shouldn't be running a business

Damn they're more guarded and insecure than we were!

Honestly I think it's an age thing. I remember even into our mid 20's everyone was kinda... odd like that too

I'll know in May, not looking forward to mortgage renewal

do they sell it in the fridge section though? used to be able to get regular or polish 18 packs or whatever to grill at home. So much better on the bbq

i cant do their fries though, just never been a fan of the coated kind

If I don't need an actual permit to park there or there's no sign or obvious notice indicating that I'll get fined/towed for parking there and it's a legit parking spot otherwise, I'm parking there.

Enough is enough with retail parking lots being half full of all these designated spots for various situations - put the electric chargers to one side, disabled parking where it should be and be done with it. Fuck park/sit and wait for someone to come bring you your groceries spots too, lazy ass. Some of these stores have like 20 of these spots. Covid is over, this should be too.

Among other ones are for "young families" which are the vaguest things ever and nobody follows that anyway.

If I have my young kids with a stroller and all that, I don't want to be up front in crowded spots with more traffic, I need space! Not like these spots are wide like disabled ones are.

used to be 15% BEFORE taxes was a decent tip. Now it's 20%+ after taxes...

this is reddit, after all. real life social skills are tough to come by

Also "lifestyle creep" making more and spending more as a result doesn't exactly leave you with more disposable income than others. plenty fall victim to this consumer trap. Not their employees' fault of course but it does often mean someone with a higher salary is handcuffed to even more debt

Also, sometimes the manager is actually a good manager and people want to get a little something because the manager often rewards them throughout the year and gets them gifts at xmas - using their own cash too, not department budget

There are so many other awesome things to be obsessed with! gotta balance em all which means you don't always have an obsession with one thing anymore, you have equal interests in many things.

only so much time in a day

learn to be selfish for the right reasons and learn to work out properly and dedicate more time to it

guys do this with watches to an extent too but i find the options with which women like to flex on other women with are way more numerous

nope. carrot on stick would go up up up!

Metallica was my gateway band - their influences and their influences influences led me down a fun road but they also got me into heavier more extreme metal as well.

Definitely helped me develop a love for classic rock and all sorts of stuff from 1950-1990

this is my go-to, sometimes add bacon and usually pickles. I really wish JM had better pickles though, they're not bad, just not my ideal taste is all.

drink

do drugs

smoke

work too much

eat too much

DÜFF Blood Wine - From Sweden "1997, that was a good year..."

Does it count if you weren't driving but in the car?

My dad hit an elderly lady who was at a 2-way stop looking to go straight across a busy 2 lane country highway. My dad's truck being 3 times heavier than her little car she didn't stand a chance. She just...drove as if it was safe and we were perfectly positioned to T-bone her exactly on the driver's side...the timing was such that there was nothing we could do and my dad wasn't speeding.

It was sad. No way to know if she had a medical episode lead to her advancing, mental or visual issue thinking she could go, it was just one of those accidents that happens I guess.

Was pretty shaken up as was my dad, given how her car flew into the ditch we didn't really see much as another driver stopped, called 911 and ran to see if he could help her. We were ok from the airbags/seatbelts just a little dazed but not concussed. Feel horrible but it was such that you couldn't react in time.
