Oh I agree. Happened to my brother. Was just saying that it’s not always the worst case scenario.
Really I think it comes down to accountability. And I’m sure you noticed, overwhelming majority of people have an issue with that.

Really trying to be more conscious of my overtipping. Had every job in the service industry before owning some places for about a dozen years. I even tipped my mailman a multiple of the legal guidelines. Basically if there’s a tip line, I leave something and I feel like it’s almost egregious at some places.
And if I’m honest, I’ve worked with dozens of folks who don’t deserve nearly as much as others and just expect it.
I guess I would say at least tip a minimum but tip what you feel the service warrants.

“Time to stop making excuses for these parents. You can’t expect the village to raise your children.”
Why not? Isn’t that what a community is? We can’t expect a change if we do the same thing or nothing right?

Agree with most of this, except being exposed makes you mad. As someone who grew up beyond poor, it was more of a motivation.
We all know what the issue is. It’s guidance, acceptance and love. And we all know that we personally can help make a positive impact, yet it’s easier to do this online.
Complaining about it will never do a single thing to change it. That’s not directed at you specifically; it’s more of a group comment.
I’m newer to the area so I don’t actually know where some of these areas are, but if anyone has any suggestions on where positive adults could be useful feel free to share.

Except ya know, maybe the owner.
It’s not like our government makes it easy for a small business to survive, let alone thrive. Being beaten down by the handicap of not being a giant corporation magnifies the way this affects the business.

As a father of a special needs child, I begrudgingly believe that these children’s parents probably wouldn’t see their children again if it were my kid. Not proud of that by any means. Just scared of what I would do

I’ve been considering this. $30 a month too.
My issue with Comcast is they’ve sent 5 techs out and no change. I actually had to upgrade my speed to 1000mbps to be able to get to close to 350 consistently.

You’re not wrong at all. That accountability thing could go a long way for some here who don’t even realize how they make it worse more than better.
If you ever figure out how to get that understood by the people let me know lol.
And stay warm today. Gross out
