  • The service I got was slow. I come here all the time, so i should know how things should be around here. My waiter sucks, I demand that he be fired.

    [Paraphrased, but this is actual feedback I got the day before mothers day, when our dishwasher was broken. And yes, he stiffed me, because of course]

    I’ve also had a father tell his children that “tipping is optional and they should be happy with 5%” after I spent an hour and a half busting ass for his family’s ridiculous requests. After taxes and tip out 5% can literally be less than zero into your waiter’s pocket, fwiw.

    Y’all suck. I assume anyone I see bitching about waitstaff getting tips, or implying they dont tip, is an asshole, because IME those are the complaints of an asshole. Tipping culture in general is a whole other topic that there can be reasoned and nuanced discussions about, but if your take is “tipping sucks and I don’t have to,” then you are willingly taking advantage of a system that denies people of the fruits of their labor.


  • It works well, until it doesn’t. That first part lulls people into complacency. I rented a Kia last year that had automatic cruise control and lane keep assist and it kept me on the road far past when I should have pulled over and taken a nap from being sleep deprived after a redeye flight. Dangerous? Yes. Skill issue? Maybe. What I took away from the experience is that it is frighteningly easy to get used to a thing “just working” and forget about its limitations when it is convenient. I also learned that I do not want lane keep assist or automatic cruise control in my personal car.







  • Eh, it’s a distinctive style. If you workshop it and you like the result, great. If you don’t, thats fine too. They’re funny and now that I know what to expect I can read the nose for what it is. I happen to like your comics quite a bit even if I have been wondering why your characters are so smug and/or content all the time. I thought it was part of the humor ;-)

    For me I think part of the problem is my brain fails to notice the nose in panels that have mouths, and therefore I expect to see a mouth but not a nose in panels woth no mouths. Idk if that helps or even makes sense
