And of course, DiDi ends up *winning* no matter what. Aha.
It was good that Roxie actually calmed down and seemed to be willing to become a real friend, although DiDi's last careless remark - despite it not being close to her worst - may cause Roxie to push back yet again.
Excellent strength in the art, especially panel 2, which almost makes me believe that DiDi has convictions and a sense of decency; naturally, her personality and the final panel reinforce the notion she is still shallow, but it's a credit to the art that it moved me, someone with a fairly strong anti-DiDi perspective.

...does Canada do the same thing with reduced minimum wage?

[Cortez]

I honestly forgot she was still a waitress.

[Dr. Jamming]

Ya know what? That punchline landed perfectly. Didi, never change; never change a thing.

[Milnoc]

That was a wicked body slam of a punchline!

[Valkog]

She makes what.

[Spidrift]

Okay, that was a joke - but one does wonder what she does with that money, given that she's still living in a shared apartment with few expensive vices. I have this feeling it all just goes into her current (cheque) account and just sits there. She could still use a financial adviser.

Hmm. This feels like a scene ending. Wonder where we'll go on Thursday?

[TheFoolishOne]

*coffee spittake* she makes WHAT?!?!

[lordoffiling]

So, in Canada, they don’t do that thing where they slice the wage down severely and expect the wait staff to live on tips. Canada wait staff makes $11/hr.

That, plus tips, plus the DiDi percentage, and I can actually believe this.

[gormadoc]

$11 per hour for 2000 working hours a year is $22000. The remainder is ~$100000, for $50 in tips per hour. If she waits five tables each hour, that's $10 each table.

Not terribly unreasonable, so long as she's busy all the time and gets only big tables. With Didi that's certainly possible.

[Cortez]

Also, Roxie looks cute when she blushes.

[Fereshte]

I thought they don’t tip in Canada?

[rogermart]

I bet Didi gets sometimes $200 tips on a $50 meal.

I also bet that Didi's base salary is more than $11/hour.

[brasca]

Even if DiDi is exaggerating it’s still a good punchline.
