I ignored it when it went down, but I finally read the Wikipedia page section on Joss Whedon dealing with allegations. I wish I hadn't. - crash davis Aug 20, 19:07 10
- I didn’t read it as they were worried about her in a pre-emptive way as much as they knew he was a creep and had already been out of line. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 19:19 1
  - It's that he was cruel and domineering,not that he made advances. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 03:08

- WTF is going on with this show? -- nm - Mop Aug 20, 18:48 1

Detroit Lions ordered 4k from a restaurant here in town and left a $30 tip. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 12:55 35
- link -- (link) - budice Aug 20, 15:02 27
  - depends on who is getting tipped, the restaurant staff, or the delivery dasher? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 16:34
  - Barstool is not in a position to make any claims of worthiness or superiority. -- nm - Mop Aug 20, 15:48
  - I would have thought giving a local restaurant $4000 worth of takeout business would have been a positive story. No waitstaff, no delivery. Tip for what? -- nm* - rollo Aug 20, 15:27 15
    - By a team with players with salaries in the millions. -- nm* - .🎡 Aug 20, 18:13
    - I realize this is also a bit of a "perfect world" thing but why can't we just pay people a full salary and not make them beg? -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 15:43 2
      - Further supported by the fact that I've been tipping when I place my takeout order, not when I show up. That undermines the whole point of gratuity. -- nm - Max Aug 20, 15:50 1
        
        If I pay ahead I generally don't include the tip but pay it in cash when I pick up. -- nm - Meg Aug 20, 16:04
    - Tip for prepping 100 meals above your normal … and the fact you’re worth billions of dollars and this is a rounding error in the budget. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 15:38 4
      - They ordered and were presented with a bill for service and they paid it -- nm - rollo Aug 20, 15:40 3
        
        I'm not being glib for the sake of an argument, the poor schlub picking up the food is supposed to navigate this on their own? -- nm - rollo Aug 20, 15:45 2
        
        If I’m ordering for 4000k worth of stuff, I’m tipping a valid amount. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 15:47 1
        
        I can’t speak to anyone else, but when we order pickup, we usually tip 20%. - The Allfather Aug 20, 16:20
    - My client is correct! It takes no more effort to carry a $100 steak across a room than a $20 steak. -- nm* - devil's advocate Aug 20, 15:30 1
      - Do you think those custom-fit leather pouches for the tomahawk steaks sewed themselves?? -- nm - opposing counsel Aug 20, 15:30
    - It’s good for the owner, sure. For the staff who has to assemble it, potentially taking time away from their tables notsomuch. -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 15:29 3
      - A savvy restaurant would build in gratuity for any bill in excess of a certain amount. People should also be mad at the restaurant, not just the Lions -- nm - rollo Aug 20, 15:38 2
        
        "I have an idea. You call in your order and hang up. Then I call in my order and hang up. Then he calls in his order..." -- nm - Max Aug 20, 15:48
        
        Yup. See my response below. -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 15:45
  - That’s shitty, even for takeout. -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 15:17
  - I don't usually tip for carryout. Should I? -- nm - zunk takes things literally Aug 20, 15:13 6
    - I do. Around 15%. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 16:21
    - When its $4,000 at a local restaurant. kinda -- nm - budice Aug 20, 15:16 4
      - And what restaurant has room to even stack 100(?) orders to go? The most I've ever seen on a counter is 16 and there wasn't much room left. -- nm - Max Aug 20, 15:25
      - Kinda? So, it's optional? $300-$400? Ok but seriously, who gets the tip? The people who cooked it, bagged it or rang it up? - zunk takes things literally Aug 20, 15:23 1
        
        I would think it would be split between whoever helped assemble the order, you’re probably talking about 200+ meals here. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 20, 15:27
      - This. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 20, 15:18
  - "Niece works the carryout at the restaurant in question" -- nm - budice Aug 20, 15:06
- I assume it's some stupid intern, not a collective team decision. -- nm* - Mop Aug 20, 13:13 3
  - I would hope so -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 13:33 2
    - Right. What I'm saying is that it's wrong to paint the whole team as responsible for the stupid decision of an individual. -- nm - Mop Aug 20, 14:53 1
      - I mean, a $4,000 bill was likely a team exercise with at least 15 players involved. So, there's a lot of blame to go around here. - David Aug 20, 15:08
- That cannot be real. Are they getting shamed on social media? -- nm - David Aug 20, 13:00 1
  - it just came to light. Right now it's word of mouth, but it's from a known person. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 13:01
- pathetic -- nm - mud Aug 20, 12:57

- spoil -- (edited) - rollo Aug 20, 12:17
- did you like the finale as much as Rollo? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 20, 12:13 2
  - I loved it but this show is just so much to process. It’s very Charlie Kaufman. -- nm - Dano Aug 20, 12:21 1
    - I also feel like I need to learn more about Kabbalah as I think there’s a lot of that to it. -- nm - Dano Aug 20, 12:29

        Was that the one with the stabbing incident that I missed? -- nm - Meg Aug 20, 15:05
      - It was horrible, and the smell was just...unpleasant. -- nm - David Aug 20, 12:38
      - You're not wrong. -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 12:18
