I have noticed that just about any kind of store you go to has a tip jar on the counter. I don't understand. These people are not supplying me any special service. They are employed at a store. Wairesses and people who wash your...

skyblade I can see where you're coming from because I believe most people probably don't deserve the tip. However, some of those employees do provide a service. Whether its recommending something, going the extra mile by making sure your order is exactly the way you...

I'm just curious to see what the general consensus is here. If you are married or in a long-term relationship, do you consider it cheating if one of the partners gets emotionally intimate with another person? Is it still...

skyblade I think if you have to ask if its cheating, then its cheating. Often emotional cheating can be worse than physical. With physical there may have been the excuse that you were really drunk, but with emotional it is definitely intentional. If someone is...

Besides a degree, are you really getting what you paid for? It is always assumed that higher education knows what it is doing. Yet only 63% of entering freshman will graduate from college within six years. And out of the graduates...

skyblade Last night my boyfriend and I watched "The Departed." I highly recommend this movie. Although its a bit long (about 2.5 hours), it holds your attention throughout the movie. I think it even won Best Picture this year.

skyblade In the long run, yes it is worth it, for the mere fact that there are more opportunities for the college-educated. While the starting salaries for college-educated and non college-educated may be very similar, college-educated folks will get promoted faster,...

What do you do to get ready for a performance review. Tomorrow is my 1-year performance review and I'm looking for some good tips for preparing myself.

skyblade Thanks for your tips. Coming in with a few goals for the upcoming year is definitely something I'm going to think about before tomorrow.

skyblade There is no way that Walmart got rid of layaway. Think about it. The amount of money the company profits on the mere interest is reason enough to keep it.

relationships

skyblade I think the bigger problem is her learning how to love herself, alone. You can't ever feel good in a relationship if you can't be by yourself. She doesn't need a guy, she needs a positive self esteem.

skyblade OK, so why do you think Walmart hates poor people? Also, if you can't afford to buy something outright, don't you think you should wait and save up to get it? You didn't explain why you hated walmart, just that you use layaway.
