    You keep saying the same thing like it’s relevant.

    You still haven’t named another even prime, flying mammal, or Western nation that doesn’t use metric.

    Let’s just focus on the last one: why should I have to learn yards and Fahrenheit and gallons when EVERY other Western country uses metric? No other Western country forces their children to learn that system, to the point you can’t understand standard signs and measures without it.

    It’s the same argument.

      Answer the question then.

      Name one other job (that isn’t in the food service industry) where the buyers subsidize the worker’s salary voluntarily. To the point where, without tips, the worker would NOT make minimum wage.

        Are you a child or a bot?

        Answer the question.

        Name one other western country (that isn’t the United States) where the residents have to use the imperial system. To the point where, without the imperial system, the resident would NOT be able to understand posted signs and measures.

        When you answer my question, you’ll have the answer to yours. Asking the same question again, or refusing to answer mine, will be proof that you can’t read, or can’t think, or both.

            Nope, wrong. We established that’s not the same: if other tipped positions don’t count the same as servers, then night club security doesn’t count the same as TSA. That’s why we moved to a more direct question:

            Name one other western country (that isn’t the United States) where the residents have to use the imperial system. To the point where, without the imperial system, the resident would NOT be able to understand posted signs and measures.

            I’m assuming you’re a child, because bots are better than this now. Unless you’re one of those old 90s era bots. Either way, not worth consideration.

                  Not a bot.

                  Name one other job (that isn’t in the food service industry) where the buyers subsidize the worker’s salary voluntarily. To the point where, without tips, the worker would NOT make minimum wage.

                    Only (old and outdated) bots have reading comprehension this bad and comment the same irrelevant points repeatedly, after being shown repeatedly that those points are irrelevant.

                    It would be profoundly embarrassing for you if you aren’t a bot, you would have to be literally mentally disabled to continue as you have. To preserve my faith in the baseline intellectual capabilities of humanity, I will continue to make the graceful assumption that no-one could be so mentally deficient.

                    Bad bot.
