    Had it at a fancy French restaurant. I was interested in the fact that they’re essentially boiled in butter and herbs(?) but my brain 100% did not connect the dots as I forked one and bit in. Burned my mouth so fuckin bad I went through 2 glasses of ice water just so I could taste the halibut special I accidentally spent $70 on.



  • So for my 2¢: I’m a massage therapist. I went to school and pay for continuing education and licensing, and that’s not even considering insurance or a lease if you have your own practice. I rightfully should be making quite a bit more than minimum wage. Most places will put up job listings with a number around $45/hr, but they don’t mention that this is calculating with the average tip that’s almost always shorting what you’ll actually make.

    My industry has been a tipped industry for a very long time and the tipping fatigue hurts. We have MORE shit we need to pay for on our own but people who have never gotten a massage see the prompt for a tip and don’t realize that’s been the norm for massage since fuckin EVERYWHERE asks you for a tip.
