BBQ BUS: “WE’VE 86’D TIPS”


5830 Georgia Ave, NW

From an email:

“When we reopened the Smokehouse in May we made some changes, starting with phasing out tipping and introducing a 15% service charge to all orders.

The change allows our Crewmembers to earn a livable wage and benefits such as paid sick leave and time off. It’s included it in the price of your meal, and you will not be asked for a tip at checkout.

The discriminatory history of tipping is well reported. But last year also exposed how exceptionally unstable income is for food and beverage professionals. We rely on a model unlike anything our peers in other industries contend with, making basic things such as financial planning and saving especially difficult.

Our goal in making the change is to create a better workplace and one where we all have a little more financial stability. We think those are ideas everyone can get behind.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
