If you can’t run a restaurant without abusing workers, let that abuse be your reputation. And let it be the way we remember the legacy of fancy restaurants with their tweezer-assembled food, which was only achievable through suffering. theglobeandmail.com/amp/opin…

A new proposal in Quebec aims to curb certain tipping practices. With tipping more ubiquitous than ever, and suggested percentages creeping higher and higher, is this a sign that governments could intervene? @coreymintz discusses: link.chtbl.com/UYIyzPYC

As the frequent bearer of bad news about the restaurant industry, I welcome the opportunity to share a win. And I think three hours of free therapy qualifies as positive, writes @coreymintz tvo.org/article/opinion-limi…

Local coffee shops are community hubs thanks to franchise owners, not corporate HQs. Franchisees deeply care about their communities, fostering local connections. Historically, coffee shops and pubs have been more transformative for social change than local legislatures.

Competition Bureau is investigating supermarket chains' use of property controls to limit grocery competition. That's when you get your landlord (typically a national commercial estate firm) to prevent anyone else from selling groceries on your turf. cbc.ca/news/politics/competi…

"It’s easy to understand where the hostility toward Loblaws comes from. Over the past decade, the company has earned a poor reputation through a series of self-inflicted PR fiascos." — @coreymintz #boycottloblaws tvo.org/article/what-if-you-…

Reader contacted me with a disturbing story about their parked car being hit by a food courier. Is this standard policy? Have you had experience dealing with insurance from damage caused by a 3rd party delivery driver?

So much of what we see as automated is really powered by humans in hidden corners of the world. A student I spoke to in Bulgaria used to watch old people in a US geriatric ward and trip an “AI”alarm if they fell. As @AnjliRaval says, this is Chapter 1 of my book Code Dependent.
Amazon billed its "Just Walk Out" stores as some triumph of AI. In reality, it was powered by thousands of low-paid Indian workers manually adding up items in your cart as you shopped.
How insanely dystopian. gizmodo.com/amazon-reportedl…
