Blegh, sorry to hear. I had a watermelon recently that was fresh grown but so bitterrrr, I hope the fruit sweetens as the seasons progress!

@elwind-cervus oh! It’s a beer! Not a fruit! Wishing many sweet watermelons in your future tho!!!

Soon, it's gonna be smoking and saying "You're not my real Dad!"

Mine's old enough to vote

I don't know how you Americans do it with your tipping culture. It's just an excuse for businesses to not pay you properly.

@nicedifferentunusual yes and bc of the tips, no one can afford to unionize nor would they want to :/

dat sounds rough. tipping isn’t common where I live, but it’s crazy how govts. keep finding ways to squeeze more money out of us.

"Oops! Sorry Mr. IRS, literally no one tipped me this year. Yeah yeah, not even in cash. Crazy right?" B) bulletproof alibi. Jokes aside I fucking hate what this country does to servers' wages

oh, huh. when i was a barista i distinctly recall needing to report all tips paid w/ credit, and we were "supposed" to report our cash tips, but nobody i know ever reported *all* of them.

(Maryland btw)

@lindentea tips were reported but the big beautiful bill made it so tips aren’t taxed

YES!!!! Tips now go to private healthcare premiums instead of the federal government we get a say in. #winning

thats so weird, i got more back this year than usual bc of not taxing tips (barista in indiana))

how many in the gar nation? idk about 6 7 hundred lets go!!!!!!!!!!!
