  Ah, this is where mechanical engineering and civil engineering butt heads.

  Are you referring to stopping distances?

  Yeah, but into a road that is more narrow. You can’t fit twice the volume into a pipe half the size and expect the same throughput.

  We need NHTSA to put out TV spots to get the message out, and little signs to say USE FULL LANES -ZIP MERGE IN XXX FEET

  When I was growing up in the UK, Department for Transport or whomever always had TV and radio ads reminding people how to drive: take longer to look for bikes, don’t hang out next to a big lorry (truck) blind spot, don’t drink and drive, it’s hard to focus on two things at once so put your phone away while driving, etc. And they still do this. We need more of that elsewhere too.

  It gets even better if you imagine the dude from dinosaur dinner theatre reading that out in his old time narrator voice

  It’s okay, you can also deeply regret his tragic birth, too.

  You misunderstand me - coming from the messed up world of the way restaurant pay works - in that context, it devalues their effort. I don’t agree with it, but outside of this market - for instance when I waited tables in the UK, where I was paid an hourly rate whether I supplemented my income with gratuity or not - it makes no sense to devalue a worker’s right to compensation.

  Also consider complaining to the secretary of state perhaps? Idk, it’s not city tax revenue so not likely, but it’s still fraud. But I would definitely consider a chargeback. This is just like in the old days when managers or severs would scribble in a different tip and total on the merchant copy.

  Always tip on the subtotal. If your server worked their ass off for your table but you had a coupon for, let’s say, 50% off 2 entrees and a birthday dessert, that’s just devalued their effort by about $50.

  Also, the tipping culture is broken, and this is bonkers.

  I came from a tipping-optional culture and worked foodservice. If I got good tips, they went back into the bar at the end of the shift, or into my savings jar at home. It was never make-or-break on whether I got to pay rent or not.
