When I was working in a similarly restroom-less NYC, the best advice I got was to walk into a bar like you belonged there, go straight to the toilet, then walk out. Confidence is key…

Place the tip directly in the server's hand to eliminate any ambiguity. :D

Grocery stores, Sheetz, Wawa are your best bets. . I work in a van and go all over town for 10 hour shifts. Few options in the fan/downtown unless you grab food somewhere

Some of the JRPS entrances have a single portapotty

Wrong! A tip, no matter your base wage, is a transaction between the tipper and the individual receiving the tip.

Rip Byrd mill. 380 years in business and Covid did them in.

They sold grits to Thomas Jefferson ffs

This is America, there aren't any.

BBB is boomer Yelp, it's not a government agency or anything like that

I'm not a lawyer but that seems less than clear to me. Employers are allowed to take a tip credit, where they pay employees non-tipped minimum wage and then take tips up to the point where they make up the tipped/non-tipped difference. Employers are also allowed to charge a service charge on the bill and don't have to give any of that to their employees. I know in other states, employers have been sued for letting managers take tips. If I were an employee there I'd at least do some Googling and do a free legal consultation

The wetlands! Part of the JRPS, in Richmond city, has views of the water, the wetlands, and is very flat. It has boardwalks, gravel trails, and natural surface trails. It also connects up to pony pasture and hugeunot flatwater relatively easily! I’ve been going for years to get some solidarity, bird watch, and to look for snakes and small critters. I’m always shocked how uncrowded my favorite park in the city is. I will say, It is rather confusing calling a park “the wetlands”, but here we are. I’d also recommend going to the JRPS website and looking at their maps, The city is full trails, mostly running parallel to the river. Unless I’m going to the mountains or the beach, I’d argue that the nature views right in Richmond city can’t be beat.

You can park at the Manchester climbing wall lot and go along the floodwall trail to the slave trail. It's about 2.5 miles to Ancarrow and very flat. There's constant traffic noise but it's not too loud except under the overpasses.

Could be extended by doing the Ancarrow trail loop too, though it's about a 7-8 mile round-trip at that point.

did 11 years in food service, whole heartedly agree.

He prevented her from being evicted by threatening the apartment staff. This was a couple months ago so not sure if it’s still happened since then.

Second, Dutch Gap. It's a beautiful flat trail with lots of water to see. There's also the reenactment fort right next to the parking which is also fun to explore (but not free unless it's a holiday like Teacher's Appreciation Day).

That’s crazy. F that place.

i need money to live and the different lines of work are not returning my emails

Was there a reason you continued to work for this restaurant? You may not be a policy maker but you could make the decision to work some where else or a different line of work.

I meant it as two separate options. There is a lot more parking at Rockets than at Shiplock.

I think Sub Rosa still sells freshly milled flour

I can definitely justify a drive over there occasionally!

Broadfork Farm sells their milled flours @ St. Stephen's farmers market

Wade's Mill is about 2 hours away from here in Raphine. You can get their flour at some specialty shops in Charlottesville, or order from their website - the drive down to the location is pretty as well if you're ever itching to go for a drive. https://www.wadesmill.com/about/find-our-products/
