Can we discuss pet peeves here? (5 Viewers)

[shuke]

I'm sure things have changed, but IIRC, when I was serving I think we had to report 10% of our sales to the IRS.

Uh, no. You were just evading taxes.

When I worked in a restaurant, our manager would help some of the wait staff who weren't too good at math calculate how much they had to claim in tips so that they would report at least making minimum wage per hour, or else the restaurant would be on the hook for making up the difference.

Maybe you should get your facts right before you run your mouth.

According to the IRS, the total amount of reported tips from your employees should equal at least 8% of your restaurant's total sales. If you fall below this percentage, it's a sign to the IRS that tips are being underreported. You must then allocate a percentage of tips to your employees on their W2 forms.

Yes, there is a certain % that is a red flag to the IRS that employees are not reporting. That doesn't mean they only have to report up to a certain amount.

Per IRS:
All cash and non-cash tips an received by an employee are income and are subject to Federal income taxes. All cash tips received by an employee in any calendar month are subject to social security and Medicare taxes and must be reported to the employer.

I don't understand your point at all here? If somebody receives 100 bucks a day in tips and only reports 80, they are evading taxes. How would that not be?

I often tip in cash and I am well aware that means I might be enabling tax evasion. I don't care if they do. But I don't try and argue that it isn't tax evasion.

If the IRS requires a server report 8% of their sales as tip income and a server does exactly that I don't view it as tax evasion. I view at as a sever following the tax laws. Do you voluntarily give the IRS more each year than you're required?

I don't think you're reading that correctly. It's basically saying, "it it's not 8% of sales, we're on to you" and it directed to the restaurant as a whole, not individual servers.

The 8% Myth

Don't be misled by the 8% figure that is used in the Form 8027 discussed above. Just because this is the "threshold" number that the form uses to require you to allocate additional tip income does not mean that this is all you need to report to be safe from an IRS audit. The law requires your employees to report 100% of tip income and the 8% threshold is only one way that the IRS monitors compliance and flags under reporting restaurants.

 

[parasaurolophus]

The form 8027 is for restaurants. Not for wait staff.

This may have been stated earlier in the thread, but a big pet peeve of mine is when movies get the song timing wrong.

Just saw Air over the weekend (solid flick FWIW) - the movie takes place in 1984, yet the first song it uses is Dire Strait's "Money For Nothing" - which came out in 1985. They also have a lot of 1984 songs that are a bit questionable in terms of when they were released relative to the setting.

I get that movie soundtracks like to use certain period piece songs to reflect the mood, but these errors drive the music nerd in me nuts and threaten to destroy the film. There are tons of other songs that can be used correctly in sequence. Hollywood - just do a bit more research.

 

[zoobird]

People who "love their dog like a member of the family", but can't be bothered to do the most basic things to protect its life.

In the past five years, I've potentially saved the lives of three dogs belonging to other people (and risked my life in the process once):

• Went sprinting into oncoming traffic in a busy intersection to rescue my brother-in-law's new puppy, who he was convinced "is really smart and won't run into the street", even though everyone else implored him not to let her outside without a leash.
• Found a tiny dog belonging to someone we don't know a few houses away in my backyard in a pouring rainstorm and followed it back home to make sure it didn't get run over as it wandered across the street.
• Found a puppy wandering around the neighborhood and my daughter had to run into the street to stop an oncoming car that couldn't see it crossing the street. Eventually found where it lived by following it, where the owner was surprised to learn that the dog wasn't safely in their backyard (despite the fence obviously having large enough gaps for the dog to fit through).

The weirdest thing is that in all three cases, I barely got a 'thank you' - the owners seemed more annoyed than thankful.

I also routinely see people with small dogs leaning halfway out the wide open windows of their cars as they drive. If they have to swerve or slam on the breaks, those dogs are going straight out the window.

In general, I chalk all of this up to people falling for the fallacy that "since nobody got hurt or died the other five times I tried this, it's obviously safe".

Especially when the dog is right there on the driver's lap, which has to increase the chance of swerving, brake-slamming, and/or accident.

This reminds me of a pet peeve of mine:

I also saw Air over the weekend, and at one point, this guy leans over to his lady friend and says, Well, actually, Money for Nothing came out in 1985, and come to think of it, I have questions about the release date of at least two other songs......

girl's HS drama

a "friend" of my oldest daughter he been going around behind her back spreading rumors and trying to cut her off from her friends because my kid called her toxic. this "friend" has been a constant misery for years but they're tied in to the same circle of girls. my kid finally got tired of the "friend's" constant negativity, bullying and how she cuts other kids down so she told her "enough, you're mean and it sucks".

so now this kid has made it her mission to undermine my daughter. tell her other friends that my kid has been talking bad about them, etc. just making up stories and driving a wedge between my kid's other friends... like "(furley's daughter) said your boyfriend cheated on you and you're fat" or whatever.... basically doing the things that my daughter called her out on... and it's causing a lot of angst.

Holy crap ....we are going through something similar .... And the trouble maker always spins it they are the victim and the parents obviously think they do nothing wrong but they don't know the real truth or care

Ftr I told my daughter I was proud of her for standing up for herself. Said she was going to face people like this in the real world. She normally would just roll over because she hates confrontation because of her anxiety. As much as it sucks with 2 months of senior year left it was a growing experience for her

my daughter went through a similar circumstance - 5-6 girls all together since pre-K in Catholic school. The "leader" of the group was always ganging up against one of them for years - and was a little racist. My daughter is Chinese - and she called her "mushroom" from the Chinese dancing mushrooms in Disney movie "Fantasia". That sentiment got more clear as they grew older. In 8th grade she picked on our daughter's best friend in the group - calling her "fat" mercilessly and my daughter had enough and got in her face and told her off - and never spoke to her again.

She and her best friend are still best friends today - and they are nearing the end of their freshman year of college.

it's so hard to explain to kids that bullies are doing it because they're sad/mad/scared. they're just trying to deflect attention from themselves by turning it on others in any way they can. tough to be kind/understanding, which my daughter is normally, when you're the target.

this kid who is causing problems for my daughter has been doing this to kids at school since i can remember hearing her name the first time like 6-7 years ago.

school is almost out for the summer and then they don't have to see each other anymore... feels like at the end of every previous school year my kid has gone through a "thankfully i don't have to see (the awful kid) for 3 months" but then their circles intersect again when school starts and it's back to the nonsense. social media and how interconnected every kid is now through their network is going to make it hard to completely avoid the ********.

meh, it's like food at the fair - lots of time it's "wild" stuff that you wouldn't normally eat at home - and it's about the experience

I paid 14 bucks for a kids grilled cheese. No prices on display and never in a million years would I have thought a kids grilled cheese would be 14 bucks without a free hour of babysitting.

I live in Portland which is like the capital of food trucks. I don't blame you for having this opinion. When I sit and think about it, most are not very good, are overpriced for what they provide, and come with too much hype. That said, there are some amazing ones. You just need to find them.

I've also noticed recently that most of the amazing ones move on to open brick and mortar locations eventually.
