  - Until it goes to 8 teams, I can't see them doing it. -- nm - Bacon Oct 30, 17:27 2
    - If they go undefeated again I want to see the case for excluding them. -- nm - MDH Oct 30, 17:28 1
      - Money is the reason the won't be in the playoffs. They won't generate at much as the power conferences. Of course they will come up with - Bacon Oct 30, 17:32
- First time in a LOOOOONG time that Notre Dame isn't overrated. -- nm - Bacon Oct 30, 17:10 2
  - Oh, they're plenty overrated. -- nm - David Oct 30, 17:15 1

    - True. But I kinda hate having the 600 Horror. I have gotten three guns in that spot since I got it. Of course, at much lower levels. -- nm - Spawn Oct 30, 17:22 1
      - Yeah, the only thing good about that gun is the light level. -- nm - David Oct 30, 17:24

The thing that took the most getting used to at restaurants here (but I now prefer): they will never bring you the bill. You will die waiting for it. - mafic Oct 30, 16:33 1
- Even the wait staff are out to kill ya in Oz!! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 16:43
I wonder if I should ever do anything with the slackerconference.com domain I own -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 16:15 1
- I'm planning to let three domains expire this month (my vanity .io domain, leanauthor dot com, and helpmeresume dot com). -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 16:20

If tipping is culturally appropriate you should tip everyone the same percentage regardless of perceived service. - mafic Oct 30, 15:52 13
- thanks for the tip on tipping! -- nm* - peglegpete Oct 30, 17:21
- I am very objective when I tip. It's based only on level of service given, and size of breasts. -- nm - Bacon Oct 30, 17:06

- It feels like yet another one of those things were Americans say "I can't possibly imagine this working another way!" - Reagen Oct 30, 16:01 4

  - Actually a mixed bag in the states. Some places to pay regular wages, others less expecting tips. Seen both. Starbucks staff are $7 to $18 an hour -- nm* - budice Oct 30, 16:04
- True most of the time. If you plan on being a regular. Tipping well can lead to better service. Cash over credit tips appreciated. -- nm* - budice Oct 30, 15:57 4
  - yup, I always overtipped bartenders early in the night and was almost always rewarded with great service later when I was bombed. -- nm - Beaker Oct 30, 16:31
  - Maybe if you’re like doubling the size of your tip. If you’re going like 15% to 20% or 20% to 25% the impact has been shown to be marginal. - mafic Oct 30, 16:13
  - This. Or if you're going to be at a place for an extended time -- nm - JD Oct 30, 16:02 1
    - Yeah, I've done this. If I'm planning to be at a place for more than an hour (on my laptop) I'll leave a larger tip. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 16:04

Re: Bill splitting, look at is this way - Karl_S Oct 30, 15:41 1
- Also in Aus most of the time you just split the bill after with your friends. We have instant bank transfers now. -- nm - Karl_S Oct 30, 16:00

  - Yep, he’s worried about Yexit. -- nm - Roger More Oct 30, 15:48
grubhub and uber eats is really hurting wait staff, they still have to take the orders, box/bag/wrap it all up, but its the driver that gets the tip - zeitgeist Oct 30, 15:30 1

        TBF, I've seen where he can be a very intimidating interrogator. -- nm - Reagen Oct 30, 15:40 4
        
        Even if he couldn't do any actual intelligence work, he could convincingly make customers *believe* that he had. -- nm - David Oct 30, 16:49
        
        He makes everything up, but based on the finance guy thread, I would assume he's got his "i'm completely on the up and up" face down. -- nm - Tim Oct 30, 15:41 2
        
        it's the same tactic as Trump tried today in Pittsburgh. Bluffing when even accepting offers no value. -- nm - Reagen Oct 30, 15:43
        
        I think he watched Catch Me If You Can a bunch as a kid. -- nm - Tim Oct 30, 15:43

  - Looking it up, Florida has a tip credit system that allows restaurants to do this -- (link) - Roger More Oct 30, 14:51 1
    - It looks like any tips over the tip credit amount needed by the employer to pay minimum wage should belong to the employee -- nm - Roger More Oct 30, 14:56
