Well, in that case I suppose the cost of certain treatments shouldn't bother you at all, since if you get cancer of the fingers they' ll just wipe them hard with some Chinese herbal remedy for you.

let me go stand outside and wait for some spaceship shrapnel to fall on me.

I've no idea what it's like there, but here if you don't have SOME type of health insurance, you pay extra tax. If you have any health insurance, you don't pay that extra tax. You can still claim public benefits if you have privaite insurance. I have basic insurance, which is equal to roughly the amount I'd pay in extra tax, so, I don't think it's an issue. :confused:

floatingslowly 11.11.2009 09:12 AM

who's paying taxes for the medical center of central GA?

I pay already for insurance. it's going to stay like that. what I don't want is having to pay yr's too.

and by yr's, I mean, the medical center of central GA.

Do you have to share the tips with the other staff?

Satan 11.11.2009 09:15 AM

nope. they's all mine. if you're a hot chick, be a waitress.

Satan 11.11.2009 09:16 AM

happy veteran's day!

I'm such a fucking commie. I really don't mind that things cost money and I don't mind paying so that people aren't rotting in the gutter and I hope there will still be some kind of public system when I eventually get sick and cannot afford to pay for it myself.

The waitresses in the burger joint I frequent share their tips. There's a huge mug next to the till which customers put their tips in, and before closing, one of the waitresses counts the money out equally. Even the grill chef gets an equal share. :)

Satan 11.11.2009 09:22 AM

fuck them. i made them, i'm keeping them.

fyi when you work in a place where a bitch like me actually takes your order, someone cooks the food and a bitch like me brings it to you hot, you keep your tips.

notyourfiend 11.11.2009 09:22 AM

in ref to what sway said earlier - of course you can enter a hospital and be treated. but is it really fair that you'll have to spend the time 30 years paying that bill off? it just contributes to a cycle of poverty...

floatingslowly 11.11.2009 09:23 AM

need I remind you people that this thread is for the Americans?

what do you people know about America?

nothing! nothing at all, I say.

Like you'd have a job.

Satan 11.11.2009 09:25 AM

i'll be working for myself soon so your bitchy queen comments don't really factor.

agreed.

I dunno, where I worked we used to share, but not daily. We'd go out every couple of months and eat/drink etc.

notyourfiend 11.11.2009 09:30 AM

all waitresses deserve tips, in the us at least. just by virtue of the fact that they get paid less than $3 an hour.

i can understand some places doing this though. theres a local pizza joint here that does that...and all there staff is badass. ALL OF EM. and IVP gets badass business. they are doing well splitting their tips. i dont know a single soul that doesnt seem to enjoy working there.


The waitresses are sweet, and I prefer the table service there to having to queue in front of a counter a la McDonalds. Most of them are students, and they always have time for a brief chat with you when they're not busy. :)

no, they deserve better wages. Make the company pay for it, don't make the customer pay double/%%.

agreed.

but until then, if you are going to go out to eat, you better be prepared to tip.

Satan 11.11.2009 09:33 AM

that's right.

phoenix 11.11.2009 09:33 AM

I only tip for good service/my regular haunts. There is no motivation otherwise.

Satan 11.11.2009 09:34 AM

5 pages already!

this calls for a celebration.

 

floatingslowly 11.11.2009 09:34 AM

in America, "waitress" is code for "titty-dancer".
