To all parents.....Should I give this lady a tip?

What would you do?

First I would preheat the oven to 350 degrees, 375 for a dark no-stick pan. Combine the eggs, brownie mix, vegetable oil, and stir till well blended. Fold in the "special" ingredient. Spray the pan with a non-stick spray. Pour into pan and bake for about 35 minutes.

You should use a double boiler pot and heat the special ingrediant to 120F for 45 minutes first, then add it to the mixture after straining the green leaf matter.

This \m/

Come on you guys, get real! Sautée the special ingredient in butter first,.

Sauteeing isnt a good option because you need time for the THC to volatize (@120F) and dont want to burn the butter.

that and you could end up vapourizing most of the thc out of the blend. boiling over water is the best option

Yup, can then be used to drizzle over pasta, salads, chicken, or even frozen for later!

Speaking of which, I always preferred using it in Lasagna as opposed to Brownies... just saying...

Personally I tend to only tip people who go above and beyond...otherwise their standard wage is what they get paid for - doing their job in a mediocre yet acceptable fashion.

If they exceed that expectation, they get a tip...if they don't, they don't.

That's just me though, my wife hates it.

Wow that's a jerk move.

not really though, i dont get tips for working 10 hours days construction so why is a tip implied for someone who brings me my food or cuts my hair when they already get a wage

...... and doling out unsolicited and illegal advice to minors.

WTF is "illegal" advice?... You need to chillax and smoke some ting

Most servers earn 2.13/hour before taxes are taken out.....

things are different in ontario. minimum wage is $11 no matter where you work.

if i had a waiter who made that little i would definitely tip (and i still do in ontario unless the service is godawful just because of the stupid expectation of it)

The tip is upto you.

Why this topic needs a thread IDK.

What's so bad about marijuana?!

It's people like this that really piss me off...
Hey, when I was a server, I only made 2.13 an hour. Now, if I was lucky enough to work 40 hours a week, my check would only be 85 bucks (and that doesn't count for taxes or anything)

So, I obviously relied on my tips.
Lemme guess, you're one of those "well, why not get a real job?" people, eh?

They're providing a service, and usually their wages are lower. It is proper etiquette to tip, if you don't want to than don't go out for services.

i rarely do

but what i dont understand is why they dont just incorporate tips into the price of the food. the system is screwed though i guess theres not much point discussing it

see above response. ontarians get proper wages. the us (im assuming your american here) has a pretty stupid wage system when it comes to the service industry

I imagine you get A LOT of mediocre service...

OK....my 14 year old daughter used a gift certificate yesterday to get a manicure at a local salon, my mom dropped her off and picked her up.

While having dinner last night she told me about how nice the manicurist was and how they shared that they both have migraine issues (my daughter is on several daily meds to control the migraines). The manicurist said she should talk to her mom about medical marijuana. She doesn't have to smoke it but could bake it into brownies, etc.

My daughter then told me the lady walked away from her and she still had the tip money I gave her in her pocket. Part of me says to take a ride to the salon and give the girl her tip, the other part of me says "Who the F*** does this girl think she is for talking to my kid about marijuana, medical or otherwise and screw the tip". What would you do?

Here's the best, most reasonable answer possible:

Step 1: Go tip the manicurist because it is the right thing to do.
Step 2: Assume the manicurist was only trying to help and that other people have values that differ from yours. If you are concerned and you think that your daughter will be going back there, politely broach your concerns. If not, leave it alone.

Follow this easy to understand guide and all will be well.

In...

How old was this manicurist? Not that it excuses an adult (not family or doctor) giving medical advice to a 14 year old. I ask because if she is 19-20 she may not have realized the age difference. Also someone that age is less likely to have a moral issue with marijuana. Most likely she didn't realize what she was doing, my 14 year old many think is 16-17.

As for tip, really up to you. The manicurist is over it by now, but it would depend on your openness to the topic. For myself if this was to happen, I would probably tip if she was young and pull her to the side and say " I am open with my daughter but the conversation you had with a minor was inappropriate.... next time you may get the child of a very conservative mother and this may not go as well." This way she knows her behavior was not appreciated or appropriate, but I am open with my daughter so I doubt this would upset me. If she was older, I may still tip but at the same time, she should know better than to breech an adult topic with someone else's child.

* I am also a migraine sufferer (hospital severe) and marijuana doesn't do anything for mine, actually makes them worse and the smell will trigger them....so I would have also had to tell her "her advice applied to her, not all migraine sufferers". Also not a user, but would much prefer to deal with someone high on THC than a drunk.

Waitstaff are paid less than minimum wage because tips make up the difference and then some. Now that you know this, failure to tip wait staff and others who work in the service industry will henceforth make you a bad person

I would be questioning why your daughter kept the tip money (i.e. to buy a dime bag.)

Aside from the drug debate, my issue on this is that you made it an issue to begin with. The closed-mindedness of some parents with what their kids are subjected to is a bit naive and excessive. Your daughter knows about pot and has conversed in a lot of other issues that you may blanch at. While it MAY be unprofessional, a client/manicurist relationship is that of a confidant, but less money for the hour than a shrink would charge. Just because something is discussed doesn't mean your kid is going to partake in the topic at hand. Making a big deal out of this says more about you than that of the chick doing nails. I can't even imagine the bubble you keep your daughter in, but it's not going to be beneficial to her when down the road.

There's a big difference between what kids talk about, or what kids hear about, and another adult suggesting that your kid partake in something controversial (that an adult SHOULD be able to realize the kid's parents might not like). My kids are not sheltered at all, but my initial reaction would have been annoyance -- which would have nothing to do with keeping my kid in a bubble, and everything to do with some adult butting in to my parenting. (Although, like I said above, on second thought she was only saying, "Talk to your mom about it," and there's really nothing wrong with that.) I also got annoyed when my daughter's teacher told her she was making "a bad decision" because she planned to watch anime all weekend (it's summer break). Obviously I'm not trying to shelter her from... uh, *not* watching anime? Just, you know, let me parent my own kid.

Clearly a suggestion for relief from massive migraines is "butting" in on your parenting.

And if THAT isn't enough of a clue that this ***** is stepping on your toes, then her suggesting that your kid talk to you about it is for SURE a challenge. You should throat punch her like a boss...clearly she is out of line.

Reading comprehension, much?

I wouldn't give her a tip and i'd call her boss to complain. She wants to be a pothead but it's irresponsible to be talking to a teenager about it.

say what now?

eta: people who use medical marijuana are potheads? you seem quite uneducated on such matters. best to keep that stuff inside your head.

Typical pothead response.

I bet you have tattoos and piercings too.

Because tattoos and piercings make you a pothead or stupid?!? Take your idiotic judgments and go crawl back under your rock.
