today I learned that my favorite coffee shop in Austin doesn't give tips from the POS to their baristas -- those tips go to the house, while only the cash tips go to baristas the split is likely 99% of tips via card vs 1% cash, because no one carries cash anymore this is wrong

@Aella_Girl yes, you’ll need to upload a scrip from a doctor in the states (sometimes it’s trial and error to find one that will just write it) and they order the drugs for you. no need to test as they buy in bulk from manufacturers; the drugs are MUCH cheaper, too.
