This is strange.

Isn’t the idea that servers knowingly make a gamble that they can generate more from tips (performance) than less than minimum wage?

So if you order a drink that costs $1000, the server should get $200 for that?

"This process benefits individuals who have the luxury of time to spend preping. Something minorities, working parents, etc. don’t have."

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

Its always interesting how willingly people are to accept powerful entities with the capacity to exert meaningful control over society to exist, so as long as their actions align with some subset of their beliefs/sensibilities.

> Having to write it out means I actually have to think about it and put everything somewhere in a context

This is an important point.

I noticed that people have a serious lack of awareness in how significantly their thoughts/actions "drift", with respect to how they relate to a plan/belief/idea. In the short term, its indistinguishable from being intentional. In the long term, you're wondering how you ended up so far from what you had originally planned or believed (and that's if you even have the awareness to notice the change).

This seems to primarily occur with those "mirco" thoughts and patterns; interestingly enough, these are the ones which are most susceptible to being influenced by our emotional state.

Free, doesn't mean easy.

Everyone can be physically fit, for free, yet not many achieve and or maintain it.
