the Protestant reformation in the 1600s was in part backlash to the commoness of priests breaking their vows, with women, each other and with young boys. It was so rampant they considered celibacy to be the cause of the corruption and by removing its requirement hoped to prevent the more immoral (for the time) of these acts (Sodomy and pedophilia)
The abuses and cover ups up the last century arent a new thing, theyre just the latest in a long history and the onky one the church hopes people still remember.
The customers end up paying the extra however you slice it. Be it tips, a non optional gratuity, or baked into the price. Most restaurant margins are surprisingly low, its not like theyre being greedy and hoarding the 'extra' money that would otherwise go to servers salary.
The tip passing direct from the customer to the staff prevents it from being taxed 2x, (both sales and income dont get charged on tips) you'd be adding an extra 10% or more on top of the 20% if you moved to to a baked in cost.
You do realize the customer would pay either way. The prices will just go up to pay those wages (and now you also owe double taxes on it; both the sales taxes and the income taxes will get made up for on the top.)
Most 'good' restaurants will likely go to a commission based model, where that same 20% of sales goes to the waiter, but is included in the price, since tips are what motivate servers to upsell. 20% of $150 is beter than 20% of $100.
Without it theres no point in going out of your way to offer an appetizer or cocktail while they wait for the food, since its just creating more work for the same $/hr. Now the restaurant needs to raise prices even more to keep afloat, since sales are down.
And if they do go to commission, now the only thing thats changed is the servers motivation towards the guest. After everything is rung in, they've got their 20%; unless theres another sale to be made (a new cocktail, dessert, etc) theres no motivation to check back in until its time to drop the check. Because thats why tips are discretionary: to disincentivize poor service.
Ive seen it pretty much every way. I used to work at a country club that paid high hourly. Ive also been at a hotel where everything was auto grated.
Ive also noticed it traveling in europe. Id find myself deciding between dining in more touristy or more authentic spots depending on the level of care I wanted. Do i go to the bistro, where i wont get a chance to order a second coffee, and no one's going to refill my water for the hour and a half im sitting for lunch, before someone finally makes eye contact and I can get my check, or do I go to the place in the tourist spot, where ill get everything I need and be out in 45 minutes, because they know I'm a tourist from a tipping country.
Same server, but now they get a commission on that check instead of a tip. They get the same 20%, but you now pay an extra 10% in taxes on the higher bill. And youre now their lowest priority table after ordering, because the commission is already locked in
When I was in restaurants, i got my CO2, or beer gas, ( CO +N2) delivered by the same company that filled our LNG / propane from, and heating oil from. Theyre also who you get liquid nitrogen, and people go to for acetyline, and other welding gasses like argon/ co2 mix. All the stores got their helium for balloons too, before our town banned it....

There was a legal advice reddit a while back, where a guy was asking for help after his neighbor in a duplex had apparently annexed his side of the attic and added a bedroom over his own.
Im lucky. Ive been seeing the same doctor my whole life.
They know I live less than 5 mins from the office. At 30 before, they text me to check in over the phone. They then give me a time they actually want to see me. The office is usually running ahead of schedule, so its often a text just saying, 'head on over' and I just walk in and get escorted straight back to a nurse waiting to take my vitals.
Whether this is the same or not depends on the state.
In Mass I could grab 1 righty pencil for 20c, but in Colorado IIRC, I would still have to pay $1 for one. Pencils 2-5 would then not raise the price, #6 would raise it to $2, etc.
I think that counts as your girlfriend saving you!

Tell that to the owner and not the staff.
We need to start tellingmtjmem to close their mouths because we dont want to smell the shot in them whenever the pigs start talking.
The cowboy and the lesbian used to be one of my favorite jokes to tell.

So yeah, a gas store.

So everyone in Nebraska is an unqualified gun owner.
I dont think Egypt wants the palestinians, unfortunately

To Be fair, Comander does tend to lead to people talking over eachother.

This is state law dependent iirc.
"We want to be a trillion dolar company because we want to becom3 a trillion dolar company!"
'I'm going to kill you all' isnt specific.
If you claimed a means, like shooting, or blowing up their meeting place, espespecially if that means is available to you, that adds credibility. P
Immediacy / timing is usually needed as well. 'One of these days im going to chuck a grenade through the window' Vs
"If yall protest the civil rights march in Memphis, im going to use you for target practice"
Is probably going to get a knock on your door.
For winter hiking, skiing, etc, it often becomes sock sock, shoe, sock, sock shoe, so the socks dont slide down while im getting the other side on.
