When we go out for sushi with friends we usually order as a group and order a couple of specialty rolls for the table at a time, sometimes making several orders through the evening as time and appetites allow. The idea is manifold: not to over-order food, to spread out food delivery as we drink sake and socialize, to “pipeline” work for the chefs who we understand have other tables to service, and finally because sushi is best when it’s fresh so why order it all up front tonlet it get dry and get manky while we get around to it?
Almost as an afterthought, but also how is the fish tonight? Several smaller orders let us explore what’s “on” and what’s “off” this evening, and modify pur ordering strategy.
The question comes up because our server (a delightful young lady who was all to happy to “spill tea” with us) let us know the chef was annoyed our table was making multiple orders. Yes they were a bit busy, but it’s not like there was a line at the door either.
What say you? Was Chef jumped up his own ass tonight, or were we egregiously out of line ordering food over a couple of rounds?
Yeah, I just love defying the existence of causal relations. Sigh. It is not like you are totally misquoting me and yourself at all here and making “needs to be said” into “literally any fucking reason to say something”.
Maybe my original idea was to create awareness around an issue to maximize my individual impact? (this is also the reason why above, though it still does not count as on a “need to be said”-basis that you first introduced as the bar for saying something).
So now I already spent way too many words to make something clear that you only wanted to obfuscate in, what I assume must be, bad faith. Lastly, another obvious thing is that contributing to a greater whole is actually contributing towards it. Therefore I also care about my personal actions that say contribute towards climate change.
You are free to look at the statistics of how many more are paid less than the minimum wage (where that even needs to be a thing) in professions with tipping than those without. Also, please tip your teachers, cashiers at the grocery store, bus driver, garbage man, etc… It is very nice when employers can use their god given right to labour without adequate compensation. You only make the world better by doing so because they get more $$$$$!
