The problem is and I see this all over the country, there’s no more starter homes, I’m. It asking got a McMansion, but can they build more 150k starter homes that have the basic necessities that if needed I could renovate myself. It feels like developers are missing a huge market out there.

We are same page. Tippping culture has benefited me, but it's too volatile. End of day, it's an antiquated delivery system that is not dependable

Firehouse Pottery is a nice outing, followed by dinner. It'll give you an opportunity to talk and get to know each other while creating. And, as a bonus, if your relationship works out (which I hope it does) you'll have a wonderful token of that first date. If you're not aware, Firehouse lets you purchase a piece of pottery which you glaze and then they fire. You pick up the finished piece in a week...which could also serve as a great reason for date #2! They have lots of glazes and instructions, you can't really fail. But, on the slight chance you find your creations hideous, you can use those as target practice at the gun range on date #3!

I LOVE the easy crack/I won't suggest more calcium b/c its not my place to be picky about quality. However, I thank you for the education on this

And I agree completely, tipping culture pisses me off, companies who refuse to compensate their employees while shoving that responsibility on to the customers are the problem. The suggestion to just eliminate minimum wage was what I replied to.

Those eggs crack easy because your friend's birds aren't getting enough calcium in their diet. Oyster shells will do the trick.

My post was prompted by a culture shock moment. When I asked for an application for a front of house pizza place job, they said it paid 1/2 minimum wage. I then asked what was the average tip take home after shift. Was told depends on the server. No TY!

Why not open your own restaurant and pay the wait staff minimum wage? If it works out, you'll surely put pressure on other businesses to do the same. You wouldn't be forcing anyone to do anything and could still enact the change you wish to see via leading by example.

Yes, because once companies aren’t forced to pay a minimum wage, they will surely start paying more than minimum wage. Who knew it’s been the law keeping people poor all this time.

Humble brag here. I get my eggs for $2.5 for a long time now b/c my mechanic and his wifey have chickens. Best eggs b/c yoke is proper yellow and shells brake easy ( store bought egg shells hard af )
