TheFlyingGerbil Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm guessing you meant Americans, but: Â Ice gems are nasty. I have no idea why they were popular. Â Also, when I was young those cigarettes had paper on to make them look more like cigarettes. Everybody ate the paper, even though it wasn't the edible type. Â I haven't seen goosegrass for ages, we always used to keep a look out for that when we were in primary school. Â Since they mentioned Bamboozle, did anyone here used to read digitiser? Some of the stuff they got away with was absolutely bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Going down in order: Â The first one I recognize is that big parachute thing. Â Those are awesome. Crazy Bones look vaguely familiar. Pogs were The Thing To Do in like 5th grade. Word art, obviously. Those candy cigarettes (I can't believe those were a thing...) Those styrofoam airplanes. Those rubber half-ball things. The velcro paddles. Foot measurer. Â So a fair number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) 1. Overhead Projectors we got, but I guess it's a common practice to let students use them? 2. Any round object really, but probably not as common. 3. Nope 4. Nope 5. I swear once I was on something like it. 6. Yes. 7. Seem familiar... 8. I had Pogs for days and days. 9. WordArt, ha. 10. Maybe for my father since candy cigarettes have been out of style since they can't be called candy cigarettes anymore. Â Speeding up, had some airplanes like 17, had some rubber guys in 18, had the toys in 21, and I swear we had something like 31.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I hate tipping with a burning passion. Tips aren't allowed to count toward  wages here so waiters are paid at least minimum wage so their work is built into the price of the meal but we still have the social obligation to tip and I don't understand why. it's just so random who you give money to or not.I get treated like shit all day at work and bend over backwards for people, frequently spending more time and going to more effort than I've ever had from any wait staff and just because I sell my customers a pan not the food that was cooked in it I don't get any money off them?

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Tipping is great once you get rid of the whole social obligation aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I tip out of generosity and don't go by any percentage. I've heard horror stories of local restaurants getting upset over customers not tipping enough or at all. If that ever happens to me, then I'll stop going there. Not much else to it because I'm the one handing out extra cash to another person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much else to it because I'm the one handing out extra cash to another person. Â I would assume that if the restaurant itself is flipping out it's because the owners are actually who are taking a lot of the tips. Which for me means I don't want to tip at all when I find out things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I tend to tip around 10% ish whenever I have table service. I find the concept of tipping at the bar utterly bewildering. The guy turns a tap on for 10 seconds, then turns it off again, or worse, gets a bottle out of the fridge and opens it for me. Why on earth would I pay extra for that? Â In fact, paying for stuff in America is really annoying because prices are always more than advertised, items in shops, they don't put the tax on the shelf ticket, everywhere else, you have to pay a tip. Â Charge for things properly America! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's maybe a north-south thing but tipping is pretty rare around here, only in like the more swankier restaurants (and Pizza Hut too for some reason, but I think it might be cos it's an American corp). Â There's next to no reason to be doing it over here same as America, cos we have NMW laws (in fact was even article on the naming n shaming today). But yeah, made things fun going to America, but the "not putting tax on items" is a conversation for another day (I know why they claim not to do it, but it's still a stupid reason to not have it at a shop level, we manage regional price discrimination in stores easy enough).

TheMightyEthan Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I agree not including tax in prices is dumb. Â Gas stations do it, everyone else should too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
