  • Seems like it wasn’t actually mold, but JK still sucks although that was great:

    Somewhere in the distance they could hear Peeves zooming through the corridors singing a victory song of his own composition:

    We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter’s the One,

    And Voldy’s gone mouldy, so now let’s have fun!

    ‘Really gives a feeling for the scope and tragedy of the thing, doesn’t it?’ said Ron, pushing open a door to let Harry and Hermione through.

    American who really dislikes tipping here.

    In reality? IDK, all sit down restaurants have these menus that are missing “MANDATORY 20% TIP NOT INCLUDED!!!” under every single item. I read it when I sit down - well, I don’t, it’s not written there. But I know. I know before I sit down. I know before I enter, before I drive to the restaurant, before I decide what I want to eat and where.

    There’s no decision. I sit down, I get fully served, I tip 20%.

    If I were to receive terrible service, based on redditor urging I suppose I’d tip 20% and talk to the manager on my way out (or email them, esp. if with friends). “Tips get pooled, don’t punish others!!” The unwritten addendum doesn’t say “MANDATORY UNLESS BAD SERVICE!”

    All restaurants, 20%, always, all the time. No thought. Just tip. I move the decimal and double the amount and math it up in less than two seconds. Second nature.

    Again, tipping sucks! But… what choice? I make the choice to either agitate for change (write my representatives) or stay quiet. I don’t choose whether to tip. It’s mandatory. We LiVe in A sOciETy!! 😀

    See your point though and I like how you phrased it and that you’re thinking about it. Booooo tipping for whichever reason we have for it! (Gotta say I want UBI or something b/c it’s nice you can make bank @ a high-end restaurant w/o a college degree, and I love that feature of the overall bug. Would still apply if “tipped minimum wage” were abolished.)
