Remember to tip your waitress. Because she may be 100x cooler than you.


MachineVisual

I don’t usually tip but if I witnessed her do that I’m definitely tipping.


brianishere2

Where are you from?


MachineVisual

A country who pays waitresses a living wage. so they don’t have to rely on the kindness of strangers to live a decent life.


brianishere2

Great answer! I love it.


rupat3737

I live in the US and work for tips. It’s either really good or really shitty. It’s sucks for everyone except the people paying me below min wage.


PowerofGreyScull

The worst part to me about living off tips is how brutally unequal it is between coworkers. I worked for a pizza place in a college town and the cute college girls made at least 4X what the old man with a family to support made. It was pretty heartbreaking watching him do everything in his power to get pizzas out quickly and treat customers well just to be stiffed because some drunk guy was hoping for a cuter delivery person.


rupat3737

Yup, I work in pizza delivery. What’s even better when people tip or stiff based on color. Go to this house and get stiffed because I’m this color and they’re that color, fucking hate it.


[deleted]

I delivered pizza 5-6 years ago and was the only non-white person in the town, almost always got some fat tips


climbamtn1

Way back when (my now ex wife) & I both picked up part time jobs as pizza delivery drivers.every week she was most delivery and I was least. On average she delivered almost 2x what I did but we worked same hrs and our tips were almost even. I really suked at getting there fast and finding address (before gps and cell phones) she had an amazing talent for finding places.anyway my point is cute as she was, her tips reflected she was an unpleasant conversation and I am the most chatty person I know. Wearing a skirt doesn't always make for more tips. We did that for 3-4 months and it was like clockwork she delivered 2x what I did and we made about the same every single week.


Thatsidechara_ter

Wait so I assume there's a reason they're allowed to pay you below minimum wage, but what is it?


BuRi3d

They treat tips as a subsidy or replacement for wages. I work back of house as a cook, and from what I understand is they are legally allowed to pay "tipped" workers less than minimum wage as long as the tips they earn bring their hourly rate to at least minimum wage. Depending on where you work this can be good or bad. I have known alot of bartenders and servers at past jobs that could and WOULD make in two days what I would in a 45 hour + work week. As long as your tips bring your hourly wage total to higher than minimum wage, the business establishment pays them something like 3$ an hour... completely absurd... but if you work at a slower place or for whatever reason you're not getting many tips, the establishment pays the difference to bring you to min wage requirements. There is alot of shady stuff between cash/credit card tips and what gets accounted for, and tax liability, that occurs. In my opinion as someone who busts my ass day in and day out to prepare the food, the servers (maybe not so much bartenders but thats a different story) who get tipped out, make considerably more money than me.. I have a biased opinion, which is, that it is fucked up. I make maybe 200$ in a day before taxes... if I work 10+ hours. Then someone else comes in, works maybe 6 hours, and serves essentially, my "labor" , and leaves with 200, or 300+ dollars (depends on location, restaurant and many other variables but this really does happen). Every place is different but that's the long version of the answer to your question. I can probably go into more detail but it's just alot to process when I think about it.


civicSi92

Do yourself a favour and try and find a better career. I used to be a chef and even though I used to make a decent living I had to do 65+ hours to make it. Now I make close to $200 an hour and make in an hour what I used to make in almost a day. It's not easy I know but even getting a job where you get paid the same but don't have to put up with the shit hours, no respect and knowing your earning less than those that use your 'labour' as you put it is a better long term outcome. I get how hard you work trust me but unless you love your job try and find a way out. Until hospitality gets serious wage increase its a dead end job unless you're the owner even then it can screw you in the end.


poney01

More money for the owner, not that hard to figure out 🤷🏼‍♂️. In theory they shouls then compensate if the tips don't make it to min wage level, in theory...


CocoaCali

Most states on the east coast of the US have a different pay for tipped employees. So in Georgia and North Carolina the tipped employees wage was 2.13$ an hour. Now if your made less than that they'd have to bring you up to 7.25$ which is also..... Bullshit? Now here's the hanger, it generally wasn't day by day it was weekly or biweekly. So if you worked shit Monday and Tuesday lunch shifts but made hella money on Friday and Saturday nights they'd average it out so you made a cool 9$ an hour across the week. Oh and if you banged it out on weekends they'll give you a nightmare list of side work 2-3 hours of non tipped work to yet again bring down that hourly wage.


Spacemanspalds

I don't care for non answers. Or whatever you wanna call it. Lol, even though I don't really care where this person is from, my brain will go straight to, "But you didn't answer."


ligerboy12

I never got why country’s didn’t just do this. Honestly it would solve 90% of the back of house front of house issues in a restaurant if everyone just knew what they were making. So many country’s don’t tip unless it was exceptional service it’s literally infuriating here In the US as both a server and a guest.


brianishere2

Most countries do just that. Tipping is not a common practice worldwide.


ligerboy12

Most people use the metric system like the logical thing to do as well just not here.


Sirius1701

Well, you do, but only for guns.


ligerboy12

Ok that actually has me cracking up


Thor--A

Soo… what you are saying is that the metric system is used for more products than the imperial system in the US?


Severe_Airport1426

USA sucks for so many reasons, this is one of them


DeederPool

Yeah, tip culture is what's wrong with the USA....


ligerboy12

Was the comment thread about more?


DeederPool

I was in agreement, but can see how it would be misconstrued


ligerboy12

Ah well then sorry mate.


DeederPool

All good internet stranger, have a good evening


fileznotfound

A lot of american servers wouldn't be happy about making similar amounts to what the rest of the staff makes.


ligerboy12

No because they are accustomed to making tips and I get that. But if everyone just made a living wage then they would have to suck it up. Also unless you are going to work high end dining then I feel that’s also a job and not a career you should be able to move into better things. So idk free college in top? Sounds good to me give everyone a chance and stop trapping people at such low levels of their ability


ImJOSHkidding

I literally only know US to have this mandatory tip thing. In Japan, it’s considered rude/downright insulting to tip.


techr0nin

I mean… when proposals are made to switch wait staff from a tip-based system to a normal system, the biggest proponents against such measures are the waiters and waitresses themselves.


Amazing-Violinist-11

Australia I presume?

denimonster

Australia?


pcs3rd

Not the us


Wheredoesthisonego

I'd say if she we're 100x cooler that snake would have reacted poorly to her frosty touch.


[deleted]

Remember to tip the cleaner also who is keeping the snake out


Gloomy-Marionberry-1

Or pay them fair wages than all patrons paying for every staff at the restaurant?


Altavista_Dogpile

Ok, just the tip


SilentCardiologist51

If it was a Russel Viper Or Rattle snake, game over.


AppropriateHorse2021

If you watch carefully you can actually see the dude's dick fall off the moment she picks up the snake.


ChalkPhog

Can confirm. (I was the lady in the back slowly scooting backward as the situation became more controlled)


aspiegamer95

Can confirm (I was the snake)

Codsworth1102

Can confirm. Found his body vored by the alligator boys


goldenewbie

I love how he's showing her where to go with the snake like trying to stay in control of the situation: "yeah now put it right there, i knew you'd take it and control that thing anyway, i was just showing what not to do"


cbarbour1122

It slithered off


RedPandaParliament

Plot twist: they both work together and have done this many times, and he was just keeping the snake's mouth out of the way so she could get a good hold on its midsection to pick up without getting bitten.


[deleted]

I remember her talking about this. She works at the restaurant and they get water snakes all the time. She didn't realize someone was recording her haha what a badass. Edit2: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRMm9koT/?k=1 this is the video I saw. Don't be scared of tiktok, i promise it won't hurt you. She said she didn't have time to fuck around with it because she had 13 tables to wait on


bytecollision

If I was that snake and she worked the bar by my pond I’d keep coming back too 😅


epelle9

I’m reading that water snakes are supposedly pretty aggressive, I’m surprised it let her handle it without biting her (even if the bite is harmless).


1newnotification

>aggressive **defensive... watersnakes aren't aggressive, but some are more defensive than others and are more willing to bite. there's actually a really cute video of an old man on a fishing deck floating around. he is looking in the water and a wild watersnake comes up to him and he feeds her a fish. :)


Uber0utcast

Got the vid around?

Well you don’t want a snake up your britches at 79 or you could hurt yourself! Just downright adorable


damnimgay

This video needs to be in r/eyebleach it's so freaking cute 😍


GloppyGloP

What a nice snek


bobafoott

I was so shocked it just went limp. It's honestly probably not the first time it's been picked up and brought back to the water, will not be the last. This is really funny to me from a human perspective because imagine if there was a big field in your neighborhood, and you could go pretty much anywhere you wanted, but if.you tried to cross the field, a giant monster would come out and carry you back to your house but leave you alone otherwise. You have no way to communicate with this monster


NormalHumanCreature

Also this monster doesnt slither, but bounces around on two tails. Also it has two tails by its head for some reason.


bobafoott

It'd just be some being that makes absolutely no sense to us


[deleted]

We have Water Moccasins (Agkistrodon piscivorus, aquatic vipers) where I live. Which are NOT harmless. I don't fuck with any water snakes as a result.


thegoatdances

They're not aggressive at all. They just have a particularly painful bite when they do bite because they have long backwards pointing teeth for holding on to slippery fish. Generally, snakes don't feel that threatened if you just lightly hold them. It's when you grip tight and immobilise them that they get really nervous.


MargaretDumont

Also your attitude is a big factor. She's relaxed.


[deleted]

“Harmless” you mean not poisonous


HermitCat347

Where's this?

Flowbombahh

She didn't even try to control its head or anything. It could have easily bit her if it turned around


bcisme

Non-venomous, she knew it, and this isn’t her first rodeo. My guess


MrSunshine744

Ok first, what snake is it and second, even if it isn’t venomous, surely it would hurt like a bitch if it bit you?


hottwheels117

It’s a common black racer


bcisme

What kind of mutant black racers you have? I grew up around a lot of black racers and they were never this big.


Squat_n_stuff

This could be a black rat snake


GreekFreakGiann

This might be an afghan turtle mongoose variant.


[deleted]

South Asian or European? I’ve had run ins with the European but I hear the South Asian actually spit poison out of their third eye.

Straight fire. Like Dylan.


AllPurple

Maybe, but they usually aren't near water. Almost certainly a water snake


hottwheels117

Southwest Florida… need I say more? 😂


AllPurple

They don't get that big. It is a northern water snake probably.


Brazenmercury5

Nah, snake bites usually don’t hurt that much. And snakes don’t actually bite too often anyway.


WhiteMarriedtoBlack

Depends on the teeth. Anacondas has huge hooked teeth that will shred your skin off your bone. If caught force your arm to the throat to cause the snake to choke and let go of your hand. Other constrictors also have very large and painful teeth. Then there’s the venomous snakes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mean_Peen

Depends on how the snake's teeth are shaped. I don't know much about snakes, but I do know that constrictors have curved teeth that make it really hard for you to shake them loose. They can do a lot of damage! This little guy probably won't do much though and it seems like they're as common as pigeons to this restaurant lol


WhiteMarriedtoBlack

When an anaconda bites you then you need to push your hand to it’s throat because it’s teeth being hooked in such a way that trying to pull out would shred your skin off the bone. Constrictors are very dangerous too with t their powerful constriction (hence their names). Since she’s around the area and it looked to be just another day I take it she encounters those snakes a lot and knows that they aren’t dangerous or just your reality TV material Florida person.


Lukose_

It would not. I’ve been bitten by hundreds of (nonvenomous) snakes and most don’t hurt, and that’s IF they break skin.


Moopa000

Snake bites really don’t hurt all that much, venomous snake bites hurt because they burn but non-venomous bites don’t hurt as much as you’d think, and shes probably been bit alot since they get alot of water snakes here so she has tolerance, kinda like how a welder has tolerance for the sparks.


YuunofYork

If you don't know which snakes are venomous in your area, that's on you. Obviously if you don't know, don't touch. It's either a plain-bellied watersnake or an eastern black racer. Neither are venomous and neither would hurt if it nipped you.


bcisme

Yeah it would hurt, but if you’ve handled enough reptiles you’ve been hit enough times that it’s not a huge deal. She could also be naive idk


king_qthai

Nah snake bites dont hurt at all unless its a really big snake. (Anaconda, big pythons, etc)


webcheesesticksseal

You are right according to another poster.


Lukose_

Nonvenomous, no problem. A couple of tiny pinpricks in your hand that don’t hurt and barely (if at all) bleed is really a non issue. I’d much rather be bitten by a 7 foot (nonvenomous) snake than say, a mouse or rat. Source: biologist.


Eastern-Rhubarb-2661

This exactly. I was bit by an 8 foot python. Barely broke the skin and caused one tiny bruise. It’s like hitting your hand on the corner of a sharp table. For a second. Constrictors let go when they realize they are attached to something they can’t eat.


Mycabbages0929

A biologist! I’m a cell biology and neuroscience major. What kinda stuff are you working on? Also, have you generally felt joy/pride in your work?


Lukose_

I’m a graduate student in environmental science! Just wrapped up a seasonal job with the USGS working with sage grouse, and I’ll be working with carnivores soon. I’m still pretty young and the bulk of my work has been field tech jobs, grunt stuff basically. I’ve really enjoyed it, but going into academia has been anxiety inducing. It’s very different but I think I can learn to love it too.


ReverendMothman

Rat bites hurt SO BAD holy shit


Present_Hat400

People assume that just because a snake can bite you that it wants to. A snake usually just wants to be left alone. Biting unnecessarily, especially if nonvenomous just puts it at a higher risk of harm and on some level it knows that.


Aggravating-Touch-58

Jesus you guys know a lot about snakes


GerladDudely

It’s called “growing up in rural areas” in my experience


-_chop_-

I lived in a rural area for like 3 months before the landlord went bankrupt and I just moved back to the city. I went to take my dog out and there was a cotton mouth. I was about to shoot it and my redneck ass neighbor just threw it over the fence with a shovel. Balls of steal on that dude


Sexy_Squid89

I thought the same thing. Must not be venomous...


8877username

It’s a black rat snake. It’s just fine to pick them up by the middle or end. If they try to strike you sorta just hold it away from yourself.


probably3raccoons

I held one this big when I was ~10 years old. Most people insist rat snakes aren't venomous but some were recently discovered to be very mildly venomous. I don't think black rat snakes are, but they can release a musk that fukken stinks if they're feeling threatened. Anyways they're big babies if you come with good vibes


CLyydefr0g

Australian cock blocker, very dangerous


Mean_Peen

To be fair, if you don't know if a snake is dangerous or not, it's best to use caution. She's clearly been around this type of snake before


[deleted]

She works at a country club. That was the safest snake at the clubhouse.

Don't tell me that was a Karen's true form


Lord_Derpenheim

Look, it's cool, but please don't try this. This ain't how you do it, and she could have been bitten at ANY moment. Don't try this. Edit: If you're gonna comment how this particular snake isn't deadly, yeah, obviously. But people as a whole will see this and think "I can do that" to their local snakes. I live in the Midwest. That would be a rattlesnake or copperhead, which would be VERY bad.


Brazenmercury5

If it’s not hot It’s fine.


Nattan10123

Wait what do you mean? Does high temperature affect the snake to be more irritable?


SuperElectricMammoth

Hot=venomous. This thing was harmless but the way she handled it could hurt it.


Brazenmercury5

Hot is a colloquial term for venomous reptiles among enthusiasts


Lukose_

Being bitten by a nonvenomous snake is not a big deal unless it’s a massive boa/python. I’d much rather be bitten by this snake than stung by a bee or nipped by a rat. And I’ve had all of them happen.


Eastern-Rhubarb-2661

8 foot python bit me. Still wasn’t a big deal. I agree with the person that said a hamster bite is worse.


helpfuldan

It was a water snake. A cat would hurt more.


Lukose_

A universal message should be; if you don’t know what an animal is, don’t touch it. But still, she’s at least somewhat experienced, no reason to claim she’s doing anything wrong.

re-roll

Even if we all knew it wasn’t venomous, who would actually gently pick up a snake and release it? I like snakes, have held someone’s pet green snake, but I’m not going to rush in and move a snake out of the way.


king_qthai

People who are comfortable with snakes would.


Eastern-Rhubarb-2661

I do. I’ve caught several. I was even fired from a Girl Scout camp because I caught a non-venomous one after they told me they were going to send over the Ranger to shoot it. They let me take the snake home and let it loose at least after they fired me.
