  • People: “I am NOT paying my barista a tip for this, what do you MEAN they DEMAND a tip.”

    Meanwhile the Barista is being paid less than US$3 an hour because in America, you can be paid that and be expected to reach minimum wage through tips if you work food service. Want to end that? Demand that food service workers be paid minimum wage at the very least. Don’t want to do even that? Then stop getting fast food.

    • No, this will not raise the price of food in any meaningful way.
    • No, these are not all teens, the average age of a minimum wage worker is 40.
    • No, this will not raise the price of goods generally. Wages have remained stagnant and the price of goods have risen regardless.

    Every time there’s football matches between Rangers and Celtic in Glasgow, they send out the riot police because shit can get violent very easily.

    On the other side of the central belt in Edinburgh, there were plans to have separators on the trams to keep Hibs and Hearts fans separate.

    London tube trains have to skip some stations on match days to prevent certain fans mixing and fighting. Doesn’t stop them banging on the tube trains. Arsenal tube station has bars specifically designed to stop rival teams fighting each other on the stairs.

    Millwall fans are so notoriously violent when the Dockland’s light railway was being built, rather than naming a station “Millwall” they named it “Mudchute”. Do you know how bad you have to be to have your area’s station named after a euphemism for arsehole.
