Not a server: wtf is going on here?

What about it?

We went for a company dinner at Benihana in the Mall of America. We had table side service instead of eating at the hibachi table. It was clear that the morale of the waiting staff was very low. The waitress brought the card reader. We were shocked when we saw the total on the screen at $214.92. The server quickly hit 0% tip, then began expressing her frustrations. Apparently, they no longer accept credit card tips. Instead, tips had to be either paid in cash or Venmo (!?). She said that the total includes a 6% service fee that she gets instead of tips. Nothing was making sense to us. Then we got the itemized receipt. Aside from the $25.50 glass of wine (wtf), the subtotal + tax should come out to $181.96. Instead they somehow arrived at $214.92. What was supposed to be a 6% service fee came out to 18%. I’m not even sure if that counts as a tip because you can clearly see a line item that says 0% tip, which the waitress herself pressed. Can someone explain what happened here? I’m not mad because the company will reimburse us. I’m just very well aware of the struggles that servers face. If Benihana is pulling something sketchy then the public should know about it before dining here again.

Weekly pay.

Welcome to Hell. 😆👹

Looking for a very low but very reinforced TV console/stand solution

What about it?

Ok so I have this cozy retro corner in our bedroom. But the CRT on the floor is not the best viewing angle, even from a bean bag. Based on the shelves and wall mounted TV that are above it, I can only bring the CRT up about 14 inches. The space is 38 inches wide. This is pretty specific though, and I'm having trouble finding a tv console/stand that's less than 14 inches tall, and reinforced enough to carry this BEEFY Trinitron. Of course I could just put it on like, a solid wooden block or something? But ideally I'd like it to have at least a little 6 inch hollow space to slide discs/controllers/cables in so things look tidy. Any leads bros?

cluttered vintage retro space

Ideas on how to maximize both natural light and privacy on this door window?

New den

What should I put in the empty space?

What about it?

Front door to the left

Unsure of what to put on this wall below the artwork? Larger entertainment center that will take up most of the right-hand wall is en route.

Made it a long way from sleeping under a bridge

What about it?

I'm a bit over a year sober, it's been a little over four since I started trying to get my act together. I'll be thirty in 6 months and this is my first non-subsidized/sober living apartment ever. Still have to find a home for a few things and maybe donate others, but just taking a step back has me completely blown away
