    You said fuck you to those who refuse to stow under the front seat. I’m telling you why. It’s the only way I can stretch my legs out a bit, having my feet under the seat in front of me. My backpack goes in the overhead bin and obviously doesn’t take nearly as much room as a full-size carry-on. Might get 2 or 3 backpacks in the same space. Some people think because my backpack could go under the seat in front of me I should be obligated to put it there. Some demand a stewardess help them find the backpack owners and get them moved so they can put their suitcase overhead. No, screw that… check your suitcase. I checked mine, you can check yours. I’m not making myself more cramped because you wanted to save $40.

    Regarding your stow under the seat comment… I’m a tall dude. I’m cramped enough as is so I’m not putting crap under the seat in front of me as it’s the only place I can stretch out. I also check my suitcase virtually everytime.

    I do however bring on a carry-on relatively small backpack with my laptop. I put it in the overhead bin… not under the seat. I don’t feel guilty at all. All the other people bringing the biggest ass suitcase possible, along with a backpack and maybe a purse too… they’re the ones hogging space, not me with my one backpack in overhead. Seats are crammed enough. You wanna be angry, be mad at the airlines making seats so small and being bag charge crazy.

    You might want to read it again

    Service Charges: A compulsory charge for service, for example, 15 percent of the bill, is not considered a tip under the FLSA. Sums distributed to employees from service charges are not tips, but may be used to satisfy the employer’s minimum wage and overtime pay obligations under the FLSA.

    A place implementing a service charge cannot classify it as a tip, even if it’s 100% passed onto the employee… a mandatory charge is not a tip, even if the restaurant encourages you to treat it that way. Certain states and jurisdictions tax tips differently than regular wages, and service charges are wages, not tips.
