1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It's a pretty low cost lens too so kinda worth it to see if it meets your needs. I like it as it's a pancake lens, so super compact and light, which is perfect for my hiking setup on the 550D (T2i), light weight and the lens won't be banging into sticks, rocks, whatever.

What do you consider pushing it on the ISO? The AMG photo was shot at 2500 last night but was about 30min after the sun went down - no IS forces the higher shutter speed needed.


Additional shot from inside the slot, which is dark. Single expose blew out where the sun hit but you get the idea.

 

Just got a 25 cent raise at work. Well in my way to millionaire status by 30 at this rate

 

How are the tips at a job like that?

 

I usually make around 18-20 an hour before taxes with a base wage of 12/hr.

 

Damn...I mean glad you're getting tips but it sucks you need them to get up above those 12 bucks

 

So tips are decent, would be unlivable otherwise.

 

At least it doesn’t start at 2.63 like a lot of food/bev service jobs.

 

I also regularly get 30-40 hours, which is not always that common with jobs like these.

 

Uhm...what

 

Some states can allow businesses to pay below minimum wage to jobs that earn tips as long as the tips make up the gap. Idaho pulls this shit too

 

Federal minimum on tipped workers is $2.13

Fun fact though: if your tips dont get you up to an average of 7.25 an hour the employer has to make up the difference.

 

Yeah it wouldn't even be remotely livable as part time.

 

No.fucking.way.

That's fucking ridiculous, people need to make their pay...damn that's wrong

 

That’s for more traditional waiter jobs. I understand restraint margins are thin, but for some reason places in Europe pay their workers a decent wage yet still remain in business.

 

Its why the tipping culture is getting so damn out of control

 

That's obvious, but let's not compare apples to asparagus

 

True, fuck I missed out

 

I had a smoke shop turn the tablet around for a tip yesterday.. Expected a tip for grabbing one thing off the shelf behind him? insane..

 

Agreed, WA don't play that game. I think we're about 16/hr no matter the position minimum wage
