Thank you for saying that. I think water is delicious, and I'm tired of people insisting water has no taste. It absolutely does!

This is the companies that provide POS modules pushing this idea. They're overwhelmingly owned by banks and want you to spend money and tip with your card. The more you tip, the more the bank makes. Remember, the bank keeps an average of 1.5% of every transaction. Those posts are rage baiters trying to make money on social media by posting outrageous stuff like this. This mostly comes from people working in states with Tipped Minimum Wage. Current Federal Minimum Wage is $7.25, but Tipped Minimum Wage is $2.13. Those people making $2.13 an hour are supposed to make up the difference in tips. If people don't tip, they are essentially working for free. Corporate greed at its finest. All that being said, I agree that tipping has become ridiculous. The only solution is to pay service workers more money, and abolish Tipped Minimum Wage, so tipping can go back to being an occasional bonus for particularly good service. That's just my $0.02

When I was actively posting here, I'd note the date of the post in the title when I added one.  That kept everyone fairly straight about when there was a new post and when there was just chit-chat on the thread.

This has been my problem with a lot of stories. Can you suggest a better way to title them? (and the "155+3" is because the story goes up to chapter 155, and then there's a 3-part epilogue) I think you might also be trusting Gabby's judgement a little too much. Gabby's thoughts include a lot of things about the people around her that aren't actually true. Both stories have some unreliable narrator elements, so if you want to have a clear picture of what's happening, you might need to separate what's actually happening from what the narrator thinks is happening. So excited to see what you think about the next part of the story
