  if coke disturbed you because of a certain stance would you stop buying coke?

  would you stop watching a sport if a certain view was politicized?.

  would you boycott a certain product because you did not agree with the corporation’s opinions?

  Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial

  anyone following the derek chauvin trial?.

  if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.

  there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

  It’s too bad Floyd did everything HE DID and all hell broke loose. I’m sorry but the media and others portrayed him as a really good man. He fit a narrative and he died. He died due to probably many factors creating a perfect storm. I think it’s DISGUSTING that this guy has become the poster boy for all that’s wrong with the police.

  Do You Tip At Eateries?

  if you go to a restaurant, do you tip and typically how much?

  if you were given a 90 minute time frame to eat at a restaurant, would that restriction limit your tipping to the waitress or waiter?.

  also if you order a coffee and donut and pick it up, do you contribute to the “tip jar” that’s on the counter?

  I feel bad for people who truly work hard for their customers and receive little in return. If you won’t fairly tip, don’t ask or expect to be served.

  Nothing worse than waitstaff with an attitude! I enjoy dining out. It’s part of the experience to enjoy a nice night out. Most servers want to treat their customers right because their livelihood depends on it.

  I generally give 20 to 30% for tips.

  We used to hang out with a young couple when I was married . Both of us newlyweds. When check time to basically split the guy would leave no tip on our check. I remember it happening twice and finally telling my wife I was sick and tired of adding extra for their cheapness. Third time out I specifically said, “ Hank you are going to give a tip aren’t you?!” His response was why should we do that when that’s their job? I said if you don’t leave a tip I’m not ever going out with you two again. Never went back out with them again.

  The Associated Press and other news agencies have already negatively talked about the Prince’s off colored remarks that he was known for. The man fought for peace. Give him the dignity he deserved.

  I like Diet Coke. I probably will still drink the soda. I used to enjoy Academy Awards and Grammys but the constant politicizing at these events is a turn off for me so I stay away.

  I’m surprised it hadn’t been claimed that Floyd died from Covid
