He's a big guy with zero pop. If you're going to be a butcher, you better be bopping. It's as simple as that.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) I've never quite understood the point of the delivery charge in the first place. All it does is pad the owner's pockets, confuse the consumers and cause the drivers to not get tipped. I very rarely order pizza and when I do, I usually just go pick it up myself. That way I can get it in 15-20 mins rather than waiting 45 mins for delivery. It's just the 1%ers taking money out of the little guy's pockets. Instead of them just giving us a set amount per run, they rather make the customer "pay" for it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 02:08 PM) ours wasnt that bad we had a built in fee to the price of the food, at the bottom of the bill it would say "Delivery Fee - $1.00" or whatever it was. Where I got burned a lot was a coupon that we gave out called Q bucks, basically a dollar off your meal. People would pay with checks and underwrite the check a dollar, then put the Q buck on top of the check so i couldnt see. Thing is, i always looked at the check when i took it from people, i knew they were underpaying. So we always had this awkward "Yea, you didnt tip me but pretended you tipped me a buck" moment at the pizza/money exchange. Whatever, some people tip and some people dont, it is what it is. People who were on the delivery end of the transaction usually tip well because they hated the feeling of being stiffed. Some people dont tip because they feel they are paying enough as it is. Im not gonna change their minds by complaining about it. Yeah f*** that. I let people know they were stiffing me everytime. I kept very delicate notes on repeat customers. I knew if they were cheap, I would wait around for another order to be up and takes theirs last regardless of when they ordered.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 09:58 AM) Agreed. I also overtip because of my background but also because I test servers/bartenders quite a bit. I like to have servers pick out my meal, I feel thats a core skill. Also bartenders should be more than just beer openers that then go stare at their phone after they've served you. You should rarely have to call a server over to you for anything. Those people deserve that little extra IMO. I was a delivery driver in college, so I have a soft spot for them. They also get the rough end of the stick since everyone thinks the drivers get the delivery charge LOL! If any of it did, it would be a very small amount maybe $1 or the $3 they charge you. I never understood how people could stiff your driver when you literally got to sit on your fat ass and they come to your door. That's the epitome of a service worthy of tipping.

Politics are just depressing. It seems like our country has dug itself into a colossal hole and only special people have the tools to climb out. We should just have robot overlords because humans just can't get it done.

I think the only reason I tip is because I know they are getting crap wages. Plus as people have stated earlier, if the tip system is eliminated, the price of the product will naturally have to go to compensate for the wage increase. I think the "mandatory" tip system should be scrapped but there should still be the ability to do so if you want to reward your bartender/waiter/delivery driver.

QUOTE (onedude @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 04:39 PM) Single issue voters have to be the ones supporting the GOP. I can't for the life of me think how any level headed person can support some of these ideals they dole out. Cut taxes, cut programs, but invest more in the military complex? Give more breaks to the wealthy? It's absolutely mind boggling to me as well. I'm sure a lot of has to do with their religious views; they think they will go to hell if they support those baby killing, homo accepting liberals.

It's the new catch phrase these days. After one acknowledges their white privilege, all is well...

Well you'll see an increase in your food prices to compensate for the wage increases waiters will receive.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 03:35 PM) No Carson and his flat tithing? No Kasich? And yeah, these guys are all about the tax cuts for the rich. They love to talk about how taxes are killing American jobs and American economy... meanwhile, tax rates for the highest earners are less than half what they were for decades of strong American economic growth. MAN f*** THESE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 06:44 PM) Homeland with another stellar episode last night. They have already revealed who it is.

This has dissapointment of Tanaka written all over it. Is the guy a good defender? That could shift Abreu to DH.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) No, it's because he's a Republican. Thanks Hurtin, I thought it would be pretty obvious that if you need to be a black democrat to get those "de facto" black votes.

Black people will not vote for Ben Carson.

So the Bulls offense doesn't look great. They had plenty of chances to bury the Wolves.

I guess if Carson is the nominee we'll see how much of the "black" vote he'll receive since that's the only reason blacks voted for Obama before.

Well this s*** just escalated quickly.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 11:33 PM) He's a criminal who put innocent lives at risk and all the resources to waste, all due to selfishness and immorality. I keep thinking what could have happened had the manhunt found a "suspicious " crew of two white and one black guy? There could have been innocent lives lost, police officer lives ruined, all because of this cop's lies. I am not saying he's not a criminal it's just the outrage at this point does nothing.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 05:58 PM) News showed some Fox Lake businesses wth anti Gliniewicz signs in their windows already. Yikes Is it necessary to s*** on this man anymore than necessary?

Why couldn't they just force Thibs to take an offensive minded assistant.

Gomes is such a clown. I'm not sure how he keeps getting rings.

They had to know from the get go but where trying to find a way to spin it?

Tyler Flowers ideally is your backup, right?
