Hopefully they are hitting them toward some Compound structures.

The Massachusetts Tips Act heavily regulates the use of service charges by employers. According to the Act, a service charge is a fee imposed on a patron or customer by an employer, as opposed to a discretionary tip or gratuity. In that sense, the employer, and not the customer, determines the amount of the service charge. Employers that charge service charges must distribute those charges only to wait staff employees, service employees, or service bartenders in proportion to the services provided by those employees.

direct from the 194th General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the legal definition of that term you keep throwing out "service charge"

https://malegislature.gov/Laws/Gener...49/Section152A

''Service charge'', a fee charged by an employer to a patron in lieu of a tip to any wait staff employee, service employee, or service bartender, including any fee designated as a service charge, tip, gratuity, or a fee that a patron or other consumer would reasonably expect to be given to a wait staff employee, service employee, or service bartender in lieu of, or in addition to, a tip.

No NN, the kid knows not to hit toward any structures with kids that suck.

Maybe. From what I could tell, two of them couldn’t hit it 10 yards. We’ll see how many divots there are the next time I mow.

We used to go down to a municipal park and hit golf balls at a steel maintenance shed until this one lady would lose her marbles and chase us out of there.

Back in high school during the "golf class", several of us used to stealthily hit shots into the tennis courts where another class was trying to play. This usually (but not always) happened on the days the coach was out. Most of the kids who tried this sucked at golf and couldn't get their shots anywhere near the courts. However a couple of us......scared the crap out of the kids trying to play tennis.

I just finished my work for the evening. Made some progress, but when you are trying to price every card, it can get tedious.

There is a Flextime in there somewhere.
