I come into the office three days a week (as required for me), but I have a dedicated office. Next year, we’re moving to a much smaller space that will require most of us to reserve a spot from the app. Color me not excited.
It’s not the first time either. Lower Decks had Riker swoop in to save the day in a finale after Picard did the same thing.
For all we know, 24th century transporters have an advantage over the 23rd century design but at the expense of superior pattern storage.
But they also managed to explain the moving of the Eugenics Wars as the result of time hijinks, some of which we’ve seen on screen. I think this is a credible explanation Star Trek can use for TOS retcons without being too dismissive of canon.
This does depend on which state you’re in (some states don’t have a “tipped wage”), but the vast majority of service workers are not raking in the big bucks, so be generous if you can!
