The food prices went up 20% so my logic is if I continue to tip the same % the waiters should still make more money. Increasing the food prices and also doubling the tip is just double dipping. My work isn’t paying me 20% more every year so I can’t be paying for everyone’s inflation.

IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•If you save, we will charge you moreEnglish6·5 months agoThat’s California though, where everything is expensive. In the east coast I paid around $0.20 this summer which includes peak hours. Although it has steadily gone up in the last few years. It used to be $0.12-$0.14.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Never understood why iOS/macOS users install so many Google apps3·6 months agoI have also seen people go to Google.com on Safari to search.
There are a lot of options to block ads. I don’t pay for any apps and don’t see any ads on my Apple devices.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seatsEnglish2·6 months agoOkay. I’m not from the UK so my comment is irrelevant!
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seatsEnglish1·6 months agoOkay, understandable. If we are just talking trains, Amtrak trains do the same and don’t issue seat numbers so in my experience the train is never crowded and every one gets a window seat which is preferred by many here rather than being seated next to a stranger.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seatsEnglish1·6 months agoIt can’t be overcrowded if the ticketing system works as it is supposed to. They can’t book 75 people for a train which can only seat 50.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seatsEnglish1·6 months agoSouthwest Airlines does their ticketing a similar way. You get assigned a boarding number but not a seat. So if you check in early you get a better boarding spot and hence a get to pick your seat. Does this mean there are more tickets issues than the available seats? No. Sightseeing cruises don’t have seat numbers either, you get there early and grab a good spot. This might not be common to people and hence they are mildly infuriated. The other option is paying extra to get a reserved seat which I’m sure will be infuriating because the person next to you paid a cheaper price.
That happened to me a few times before. I got the shipment in 2 days through Amazon even though I ordered through eBay.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seatsEnglish2·6 months agoIt just says no “specific” seat reserved but you’ll have a seat reserved, you just don’t know which one. It’s good if you can get there early and get a window seat.
But the cheap no name brand stuff from Amazon still come from the same factory in China. Only difference is you’ll get it in 2 days, pay more even though Amazon workers are underpaid and overworked and just make Bezos richer.
All the cheap no name brands are just the same Chinese products. One good example I have is, last year I got a knockoff Apple Watch band from Amazon as a gift for Christmas which was $10. Since it was the wrong size I bought one myself from AliExpress. When it arrived it had the same packaging and product number on it. Only difference is that it was $1 and took 2 weeks.
If you don’t buy cheap no name brand stuff from Amazon then this doesn’t apply to you but from my experience people buy the cheapest product and hence temu became popular.
Not sure what you are looking for but I can easily buy the same stuff on eBay or Walmart or directly from the retailer. I do a search of Amazon and then google the same product to look at different website options.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•I've had ios apple phones all my post-2010 life and am thinking about buying my first android phone, what are some things to know before switching?2·8 months agoYou can export the passwords using a Mac and you can get the email ids being used for “Sign in with Apple” and just use that email id if you can’t change it on the websites. I do it now as some websites stopped supporting that feature.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple introduces powerful new iPad mini built for Apple Intelligence1·8 months agoIt’s a combination of minimum security requirements and features of the OS as well as the developer of the apps. WhatsApp stopped supporting older iPhones and my parents had to upgrade their iPhone5 which is over 13 years old now. I used to use my old iPad mini 4 only for Zoom until they stopped updating it and now my iPad is useless after using it for 9 years. Zoom blocks it at a server level so there is no way to bypass it.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple TV+ launching on Prime Video in the US1·9 months agoApple TV handles it the same way. Netflix doesn’t work because they want you to open the app and scroll through multiple rows to resume watching.
Are you required to subscribe through Prime or can I add any subscription?
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple TV+ launching on Prime Video in the US1·9 months agoApple TV has the “Up Next” feature which helps as the latest tv show episodes from all your apps are on the Home Screen. Even when you search it gives options from different apps. However, it’s painful for me on a mobile device to have so many apps installed, which take up a lot of space.
IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•New AirPods are finally coming, and could borrow a huge Pro feature5·10 months agoBecause most people don’t care about it. My family wants the AirPods and buys the cheapest one as the basic AirPods is usually on sale.

IamAnonymous@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Pirate streaming app for iOS gets approved again on the App Store4·11 months agoI would be too. Why would you write another article after the app was taken down after the first time? The article is now useless because it doesn’t add any value to users, so it was all for nothing.
