i forget why places don't have them, but it has to do with the gov't regulations
and i think you need a special license for them or something. ether way, there’s a lot of red tape you have to jump through to get it, and that cost a lot of money, so that’s why no one has them.
i was thinking if we did serve food, the tables would have tv’s in them, one each facing both sides of the booth. and/or in the booth’s along the wall’s would be a touch screen to you could order food & drinks, and maybe a tv above them.
i’ve got tons of ideas, i just need to get my butt to the STL & get some funds to put it all together.

Which is fucking dumb
Shots are 10000x times more likely to get someone too drunk anyway. I hate the hypocrisy of the anti-alcohol crowd.

it has to do with what your local gov't has set up too
my bro in law is in the restaurant biz & he explained it to me one day, but i’ve slept since then & forgotten everything but jumping through the red tape & the gov’t not wanting them at tables.

If you allow shots to be purchased, there is no way you can be internally consistent with your logic to keep something like the table tap out of a restaurant.

that's the easy part
the hard part is making it easy to use when you’re drunk & keeping it clean. you know someone’s going to put a finger on it that’s covered in ketchup or beer.
i basically want to have it where people can order whatever they want, however they want it & only need someone to bring it to their table. thus avoiding the server screwing up & having to tip them. studies have shown if a server is on a salary, they are an over all better server.

that could be as well
i have always hated that servers have to work for tips. it’s never seemed fair to me. i mean they put up with all of everyone’s shit, and all they are getting is $5bucks? that’s not fair. what motivation does it give a person if they are constantly working hard for little to no reward?
if you take care of your servers, and don’t make them work their ass off for crappy tips, they will take much better care of the customers. especially if you take away a major headache that both sides routinely have. i firmly believe this.
pretzels pretzels pretzels pretzels
I dunno..I know some servers that make damn good money
because they are damn good servers. It is necessary to work somewhere that serves alcohol.
My man used to pull down a shit ton of money as a bartender. Now that he’s a restaurant manager, he doesn’t make nearly what he made as a bartender, except now he has health insurance.

i realize this
but a server isn’t a bartender. many people flat out treat the person that brings them food like garbage, and i hate that. one way to prevent this & getting repeat customers is having limited exposure between the customers & servers
pretzels pretzels pretzels pretzels
the strange thing is my friends and me, poor as dirt, still always try to tip well
and i have no idea why. None of our parents are servers, only one of us has ever been a server. Guess its that midwestern nice instilled in us.

-BOOOOOOOOG
what if you didn't have to though.
but still got great service. would you be willing to pay a little more, not a lot mind you. but a little more if you knew you didn’t have to tip?
also, this is a big cost cutting move all owners love. they don’t have to pay servers anything, or offer them any kind of benefits because if they quit, someone else will always take their job. well if you take that out, you’ll be able to not only attract, but keep the best of the best. and that in turns will keep bringing people back to your place instead of the joint across the street who has 5 new servers ever month.
pretzels pretzels pretzels pretzels
people will stip tip
tippers, anyway. anyone who has worked for tips will tip instinctively. what then?
i wouldn't out law it
i’d just say it’s discouraged, and if that did happen the server would obviously keep it

pretzels pretzels pretzels pretzels
Obviously you have looked at the studies and I have not
But at all the quasi restaurants that have service but tell you not to tip, the service is shitty as can be. I don’t know how that’d translate to a regular restaurant, but the tips are incentives to not be bitchy to me more than to be awesome.
The “little to no reward” doesn’t seem true to me at all…they have to do almost nothing but not be annoying and they get 15% from 90% of tables and if you’re friendly you can earn some really good money.
Maybe I’m wrong, but a straight salary would seem to give people incentive to work just hard enough not to get fired.
Not afraid to nitpick
i haven't actually read the studies
my sister & bro in law did because that’s their career’s. and they told me about them because i’ve honestly always wanted my own place & talk about what i’d do if i could get the money to do it.
i want to read them though because i want to know what kind of restaurants were looked at. was it 5 star places where everyone’s bill is $100 bucks, or was it local sports bar type places. there’s a big difference if they only talked to the 5 star joints.
pretzels pretzels pretzels pretzels
i've actually never been to a restaurant
that said not to tip. One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that when going in large groups where an x% tip is guaranteed, service is dreadful.
it's Clydesdales vs Goats. Actually sums up Cards vs. Cubs quite nicely. -all4tookie
For sure
I just can’t imagine how working at a place where there’s a real threat of not being tipped couldn’t improve your performance. That’s like the principle of economics to me.
If you perceive it that the better you work, the more you’ll get paid, how could that not make you work harder? Maybe that’s not how dumb people look at things, but that’s how I would hope people would look at it.
It might be a headache all the way around, but that still seems like a cause and effect to me that ends up with better service.
Not afraid to nitpick
but you're still trying to work hard to keep that job
just because someone doesn’t have to work for tips, doesn’t mean they still can’t get fired for being lazy.
pretzels pretzels pretzels pretzels
Right
But a manager isn’t around all the time. Unless you have really high standards I’d think like I said that someone would work just hard enough not to get complaints.
Maybe I’m wrong, but my time spent higher education tells me that if you’re reward literally depends on your effort each and every time, you’re more likely to give consistently high performance.
If you had some sort of objective measure of performance to grade people on all the time, maybe you could set up a similar type of rewards system (possibly even more fair really if it was time from order cooked to delivered). Dunno how you’d really do that, but maybe.
Not afraid to nitpick
Ticket times are definitely a good point to offer incentives.
But then you have to work with the kitchen and split that reward with the kitchen—they’re the ones who are getting that shit out to you on time.

i'm not sold on this idea
i obviously need more info to find out if this will really work.
if i ever have a place of my own, i just want it to be the best it can be. i don’t want to have to hire new servers every month like almost ever place does now. i want the best & i want to keep the best so people will keep coming back to my place rather than an applebee’s down the street

But everyone knows the service at Applebee's sucks.
I think most people would prefer to go to a local joint where there is the chance that someone will remember you or your favorite drink and make you feel at home.

I don't know.
I do know that part of being a server is giving good service and hooking people up, because that is how you make money.
if you are better at your job than your peers, you make more money.
Money is good motivation for most servers. Good servers can pull down $40 K a year—and they work in the restaurant industry with a bunch of drunks, which can be a positive or a negative depending on how you feel about working with a bunch of drunks that like to have fun.
I understand that it could get pretty old after while.

-BOOOOOOOOG
Prague beer all together was glorious
I know I had Stepan but it didn’t stick out to me.
We went to a beerfest (that’s what it apparently literally translated to) and that was a great moment. Maybe I’m an amateur, but I had no idea why they measured their beer in degrees…most beer was like 10-12 degrees but there we had some dark beers that were 22 and 24 degrees. Apparently degrees measures the strength of the flavor but the ABV is about half of the degrees, so we were drinking some 10-12% beers. They were all really good and consequently had too many liters not thinking anything of it….and were confused as to why we were annihilated. Figured that one out later, but the one that stuck out was Master Cerny (dark).
Cerny was the 3rd Czech word I remembered how to say. The first two were apparently the most offensive thing anyone can say in any language. I guess it translates literally to “go to cuntville” but you’re apparently not even supposed to joke around saying it.

Sweet
IPA, and 2 sam Adams on tap. Oktoberfest, and just plain old BL. this is the best beer in the world…6.9% and a really hoppy IPA. Gold Medal winner in strong Ale category.
Single Malt IPA
Just like Single Malt Scotch, our I.P.A. is brewed from 100% Crisp Gleneagle Maris Otter floor-malted (made by hand!) barley – no specialty malts, no blending. This ale is an American variation of the classic India Pale Ale style. Singlemalt I.P.A. is heavily hopped with both Simcoe and Cascade hops grown in the Pacific Northwest. Golden in color, refreshing to drink and full of hops, this is our best-selling and most-beloved beer. Available year round. The alcohol by volume is 6.9%. Gold Medal Winner, 2007 North American Beer Awards, American Strong Pale Ale Category.

Did it taint the beer? I don’t like the idea of a stout going through the same tap as, say, a pale ale. Could you taste anything as being “off”?

You didn't get to pick your beer there
The bars in Czech at least are all basically tied to a single brand (i.e. a bar would only serve Pilsner Urquell products, or Budvar (the original Budweiser!) etc) Which was fine with me because it was always delicious beer no matter what. The taps at these places only served the flagship Pils or whatever, but like I said it was actually good beer so there were no complaints.

That's just a weird. statement.

yeah, but most people don't hide anything
and everything is out there for the world to see because they want their 15 minutes of fame.
there’s also a big age difference here that you simply can’t understand because the way the world is now is normal for you. you don’t remember how things used to be because you weren’t there.

For the record I meant her statement was weird.
Your statement is spot on. If people have public profiles with them dancing on tables and stuff in college, I wouldn’t trust them.
I realized my subject line may have been slightly confusing.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
i can't tell you how many employers have asked to see my fasebook page
and when i told them i didn’t have one, they didn’t believe me & thought i was hiding stuff from them. then when they did actually check me out & didn’t find anything, i got more call backs simply because i don’t have pics of me dancing on tables.

My Facebook page is boring.
I tell people my pastor is my friend on Facebook and they’re like oooo, that sucks. I don’t mind it. If it makes me keep it clean now I won’t have to do it later. One m=of my senior friends’ statuses the other day was “Cleaning out Facebook pictures all day if you want yours save them.” A whole day devoted to cleaning out your pictures. No thank you.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Well, the thing about having a facebook page
is that you shouldn’t use your real name, shouldn’t use an email address that you use for any purpose other than facebook, and you should change your profile settings so that your profile is totally private.
That way, even if employers look for you, they can never find you. However, people I haven’t talked to since high school and was perfectly fine with never talking to again have managed to find me on facebook. That’s better than potential employers in my book.

that's another reason i don't have one
i don’t want to talk to anyone from my high school that i don’t currently talk to. i didn’t want to talk to them then, and i really don’t want to talk to them now.
pretzels pretzels pretzels pretzels
I thought that too...
but once you get to be a certain age (at least it worked this way for me), people that I thought I didn’t give a shit about contacted me and it was sort of an interesting, non-committal way of seeing what they were doing and sort of being aware of them without having to put out any real effort.
I reconnected with some people from high school choir that way. i thought I didn’t give a shit, but it was nice to reminisce with no strings attached.

which led to a discussion about when its appropriate to post OT. no conclusion was reached I don’t think as the mods didn’t really weigh in (not saying they should’ve. they have real lives to tend to) so that’s where we stand.

well, if you don't pay the application fee
how the hell am I going to get paid for all the difficult, thankless, low-paying work that I do?
Don’t get a job in higher education administration. the pay is essentially equivalent to slave wages.

do you work your ass off, do five people's jobs, and get paid less than $30,000?
because that’s what it’s like to be a graduate admissions advisor at a large public university.
at least they understand I love baseball and have no problem with me taking vacation to go to games.

At least you don't have to report to anyone. That's the tradeoff.
I would glady work my ass off, do the work of five people, and get paid that amount if I were running my own business.

My drunk opinion of all the OT hubaloo
when a game thread or whatever hugs the right margins…..if I’m not interested, I can blow by it. However I have never seen a more respectful and courteous religion and/or political discussion on the internet. It is respectful and almost…….I don’t want to offend anyone….thought provoking.
I don’t come here for politics or religion, but I do come here for interaction, and I must say, aside from the low brow humor that I contribute, this is a great place to find the pulse of America.

I pretty much agree.
But if most people and the mods think we should talk more about baseball I think we should try. And I do think we should try really hard to stay away from politics and religion.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?

what's the likelihood that if somebody at SBN actually looks at one of our threads
a) their minds just blow
b) the site gets closed down ; or
c) danup gets a very long email?

I wondered when I saw Thompson getting accosted by Mottie in the BEES BEES BEES dugout video. Wasn’t sure if that was in STL before they left, or if it was taken in LA.

So I was digging deeper at the numbers
I don’t think Rasmus should be the starting CFer today. It should be Ankiel. Wolf is a plus fastball and a plus curveball pitcher. Ankiel has a .250 avg against fastballs and curves when facing a lefty. While Rasmus has a .185 avg against fastball from a LHP and only a .063 avg against Curveballs.
We are starting Lugo for his offense, everyone else is starting for their offense
bat Rasmus 8th and let someone who can actually play defense play in CF, especially in Dodger stadium.
Plus, I remember the last time Ankiel started a Game 1 in the NLDS….

sounds like just small sample size issues. if you pare down rasmus's PAs into v. lhp, you're
looking at a very small number of PAs. take it to FB throwing LHPs, that’s miniscule.

Then there is only one team to root for this October — the St. Louis Cardinals.

best run-on sentence ever
But real Cardinal fans knew the moment that Chris Duncan, who happens to be pitching coach Dave Duncan’s son, was traded for Julio Lugo(notes), that GM John Mozeliak wasn’t going to take 2009 lying down. The elder Duncan blew his stack at the move, but Cardinal fans who had longed for more production than a love child of Heidi Pratt and a Geico caveman from their left fielder were emboldened by this glimpse of a sack by Johnny Mo. (And unlike with Lady Gaga, we liked it when we saw it.)
