Reply to LPT: A lot of people don’t know this but if you have a Costco membership, they offer car insurance that has unbeatable prices. by ninaunst
I got an insurance broker a few years back. My premiums plummeted and every year they come back to me saying, "We think this other company has the same coverage for cheaper." I think I'm paying something like $1000 per year right now for full coverage.

As someone who’s child free and still incessantly asked this for 3+ years with no end in sight, THANK YOU

I agree. Never ever tip before the service is rendered.

The vast majority of them won’t pick up your order if you don’t tip first.

That’s fair. You could also just not ask and let them tell you.

Ding ding ding!!!!!! But they will ask you a series of questions. So don't be like Paul Muaddeeb.

I was doing this while traveling for several months. It was really hard to develop a routine. My healthy habits thrive with routine. I hated feeling bloated all the time.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT: When someone is mean to you, it’s 100% about them and their ego, and 0% about you. They are just miserable with their own life and want you to feel bad about yourself as well. Just kill them with kindness and remember that you are better off and not a miserable person like them. by Waiting-For-October
Yea I could probably edit it to remind people what “mean” actually is, but at this point it’s pointless since I realize posting in this sub attracts too many abusive psychos so I’m just gonna forget about it.Thanks for the input though.

Oh yeah for sure. But it was basically assumed that that’s what you would do as a woman.

The LPT is "don't be you."

That’s why a one-size-fits-all tip doesn’t work, though. “Mean” is not a clear enough term. I think a lot of people would view someone saying “I think you’re unattractive and I don’t want you around me, leave me alone!” as mean. And sometimes it is mean, and a bizarre response to someone asking to be handed a napkin. Sometimes it is a reasonable and desperate reaction to unacceptable behavior. Same with the other examples. But if someone walks into a room and says “a girl just said I’m ugly and shouldn’t come near her,” and people respond with “OMG how mean! That’s about her, not you!” the person is going to continue on acting in appropriately and feeling sure they’re not the problem.

Reply to LPT: Separate bacon into portions of 2-4 strips before freezing. That way, when you need them, it's easier to defrost only the number of portions you need directly in the pan, and you won't make a mess trying to separate (or cut) slippery, frozen bacon. by Professional_Trip217
2-4 strips of bacon? What kind of abusive person are you?

They did the same to me in June. They're in a class action lawsuit for doing the same thing to 1000's of other customers.

Many drivers decline deliveries that don't have tips. Good luck with your brilliant idea. Good drivers aren't delivering your stuff for the shitty price the delivery service pays.

USAA is in a class action lawsuit for defrauding their customers during the claims process. It happened to me back in June. Leave before they screw you.
