LO 91

Another victim of aftermarket garbage. Car came in with a complaint of parasitic draw, intermittent no start, and key fobs did not function. I love doing parasitic draws on a Subaru because these older ones time out in about 30 seconds after you shut the key off. This one was hanging steady about 90 milliamps. Anytime in the past I've seen 70 to 90 milliamp draws 99% of the time something is plugged into the data link connector or there's an aftermarket alarm or remote start. Took a peek under the dash, saw the typical rat nest of wiring, took it all out threw it in the trash and I'll be darned all the problems are fixed. Parasitic draw now is 12 milliamps, key fobs work, car starts just fine. I've probably removed over a hundred of these in my career 👍🏼

Remember when you used to be able to crawl under the vehicle whack on the starter a couple times and at least get it running 😅. You can do the same thing here you just got to pop the intake off real quick 😏

Apparently only smart people will answer this correctly

This is the only thing that can heal me right now

Someone has slashed my tire!!

What's it gonna be?

🤔 Am I wrong for walking out of a restaurant because of a tipping sign on the front door?

For context: I always tip. 💵
20% minimum. More if the service is great. I've worked service jobs myself, so I understand how important tips can be.

But yesterday I walked up to a restaurant and saw a giant sign taped to the front window:

📝 "Our servers make $3.50/hr... If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to dine out."

I read it, stopped, turned around, and left. 🚶‍♂️

Here's why:

I'm happy to reward good service. 👍
I'm not happy being guilt-tripped before I've even seen a menu, met a server, or ordered a drink.

The sign didn't say:
⭐ "Please support our hardworking staff."
⭐ "Great service deserves great tips."

Instead, it felt more like:
💰 "Help cover our labor costs or don't come in."

At some point, isn't paying employees a fair wage the responsibility of the business owner? 🤷‍♂️

I didn't leave because I don't tip.
I left because I don't like being pressured into tipping before any service has even been provided. 😒

Tipping should feel like appreciation for a good experience—not an entrance fee.

So what's your take?

❓ Was I wrong for walking out?

Or are signs like this pushing customers away by turning a meal into a debate before they even sit down? 🍽️
