That scheme sounds exactly the way DoorDash was withholding full tips from their drivers and boosting their own bottom lines. DC did successfully sue them for it. Wow, if Shyndigz is still doing that, it is so wrong.

> the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) alleged that from 2017 until 2019, DoorDash misled consumers to believe that their tips would increase worker pay, when, in fact, tips were used to subsidize DoorDash’s payments to its workers.

(Emphasis is mine)

Might be just a quarter. Haven’t been in 2+ years, so I might have memory fog. If there’s still a park at Pole Green I think they had a half there too? Again, this was 2+ years ago so I could be wrong. Charlottesville, Southside, and Woodstock are all newer parks in VA that have bowls you might like too if you’re down to travel a bit!

The active calls page switched from live listings to delayed ones not long ago, also. It claims to be on a 15-minute delay but it's more like 20 or 25. Looks like the police don't like the public to know what they're doing.

Ohhh man. Get ready to buy some tools, that's for damn sure.

I was in your shoes 10 years ago. There are so many things I wish I had not done that I thought I could do.

I'm not sure how to answer your question either.

Education is expensive.

But I did learn....

I honestly wouldn’t have guessed RVA would have aggressive down voters at saying “maybe by not tipping your to go person you might be punishing the wrong person” but hey, you learn something new every day.

I don’t go places that I know don’t pay hourly for to go if I don’t want to tip. It’s one thing if you don’t know but if you know and just don’t care you’re an asshole in my book

Agreed about everything you said about auto grat. It’s the same concept as them adding the wages to the menu prices. It’s just going directly to the servers instead of increasing the menu 20 percent

People who are mad about auto-grats at 20% or whatever are flat out cheap. They feel they have the power to short change a worker and decide based on their performance what they deserve. I’m positive those same people are not performing at 100% at their office jobs or whatever salaried job they’re at, all of the time. Those same complainers make mistakes, they have bad days, but they’re not getting shorted on their salaries for things like that. But when a server or tipped worker, does something “wrong”, it’s totally acceptable to these cheapskates to dock their pay.

So when people are mad about auto gratuities, they’re just flat out cheap/have power issues.
