how are we supoosted to give back to the community of muggers then?
I’ve been trying little things to help brighten their day, like artisanal wallets or little jokes that I write down on cards and put in my pockets
The best way to end tipping culture is to unionise hospitality workers. As customers, what we need to do is encourage and support working class solidarity, talk loudly about our support for unions, encourage employees to organise, all that kind of stuff.
It's not a mugging if you aren't at least beat up. This is nothing but robbery. No tip!
You have to tip anyway or the workers don’t get paid, come on hun don’t embarrass me like this it’s only $10.00.
Mugging is a crime involving an attack on an individual in a public place with the intent to rob them. It typically involves physical assault or the threat of violence to coerce the victim into surrendering their possessions.
Personally I tend to find guns pretty threatening.
Or your definition is wrong.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/armed-robbery.
If having a gun made them all mugging, then no one who wasnt caught in the act would ever get charged with armed robbery.
Or, you know, mugging is not the name of the actual crime...
The Thieves Guild punchcard: Get 12 muggings and the 13th converts your mugging to a light burgling at the address of your choice! [*]
[*] You must present your punchcard before physical violence begins. If the address to be burgled is a police station, the next mugging will be upgraded to murder. Management takes 75% of all tips. Do not make Management sad. You wouldn't like Management when it is sad.
That first bit reads so much like Pratchett
If it's not then props, it reads almost exactly like a line from one of the Night Watch books would
That's exactly what I was going for, but I changed watch house to police station for the non-Discworld enthusiasts.
Success, I'd say. You're really a frood dude who knows where his towel is finger guns
Thanks, but lately I feel more "Oh no, not again"...
It really sounds like something that Mr. Pin and Mr. Tulip heard from a guild member in The Truth, but I can't find the reference exactly.
Addendum, The establishment known as 'The Bucket' on Gleam street is considered a police station for the purposes of this punch card.
I hope the thief has his licence ready, otherwise the guild hall is getting a new weather vane.
Where I'm from, we strung 'em up by the bura'zak-ka.
Negative tip
Who's the mugger now?
Interface designers make mistakes, but I don't think they'd make the mistake of allowing a negative sign anywhere on it. You could try for integer overflow, but that's gonna be really bad if you guess wrong.
One time I did come across one of these that popped the whole iPad keyboard up, I tried to enter a negative number and clearly the programers were extra dumb because it managed to crash the whole POS and force a reboot
ETA: cashier thought it was hilarious, store owner got so mad he banned me from the store "for life"
banned me from the store “for life”
Awesome! I hope you refused to honor it unless he put a poster on the front door with a picture of you and a ghostbusters-style "no" sign around it.
Starting tip being 15% instead of 18 or 20? Unrealistic
Ridiculous comic, they forgot to include the mugger asking if the victim is in the rewards program.
This is so inaccurate, they don't have a no tip button you have to input custom then 0 dollars
If it's from the amount of money he have, the more tip they give, the less 'money' they'll have.
(It's the same amount anyways, and doesn't make sense.)
