The hugely popular store originally opened just before Christmas on December 23 2020, and then closed on January 2 2021.

Gideon's offers a range of nearly half-pound gourmet cookies (including seasonal varieties), cake slices and coffees. The popularity of the store means a virtual queue is routinely in places and purchasing limits are in effect.

Each cookie is almost half a pound

Clickbait will be clickbait, but I don't think it would move the needle with the visiting public, especially considering how these claims remain unsubstantiated, and upon examination of the limited evidence available and the company's prior public statements and campaigns, it's more than plausible that LGBT-related allegations are false.

We've all seen "Disney Forced to Close The Ride based on Walt's Most Racist Movie!" clickbait. Imagine all the posts, vlogs, and lists that are going to gossip about Gideon's as a homophobic cookie sweatshop for the next several years.

Interesting. If what he says is true, the 'Ghosts of Gideons' is one person who does not work for his company. I think it's safe to say that at this rate, the smear campaign failed.

Here's a much longer response from Steve, owner of Gideon's Bakehouse. Use the > on the right to move through the slides.

I just read elsewhere the Gideon’s employees are unionizing.

Never mind. My apologies. I was thinking that auto-gratuities could be declined. That used to be the case, but IRS now defines auto-gratuities as mandatory fees.

The dining locations in my tourist area hiring part time are servers making $1K per week or more working 24 hours a week ( ie family ). Boss doesn't want to put them on full time w/ benefits. The food kiosks in town employ full time anywhere from 35 or more hours where they get paid barely above min wage and has that familiar cash tip jar by the cash register.

Auto gratuity is written in black and white on the menu for X amount in your party , before you order. I don't question that. Have you seen that also?

MisterPenguin3 days ago

That extra line is if you want to give more than the auto-gratuity. So, if it's 18%, you might want to make it 20% or 25%. I'm surprised you don't cross out the auto-gratuity also.

Tipping is something I'm looking for in the check dining in. At times when automatic gratuity gets added to our party the restaurant tries to be slick by adding another line item saying gratuity when I get the bill to sign from the server. I write a big X on that line. I'm no fool to tip 2x but some dining locations still do this practice.

That is assuming the person works full time and gets paid vacations. Most of these places don't give part time employees paid vacation time. And they are very stingy with hiring full time. Places rather hire 2 at part time to save on benefits. So if you are sick and need to stay home, you don't get paid.

Different world in Japan pre covid where respect of others is prevalent. Locals wear masks to prevent spreading illness in public. It is a great country to visit.
