Shan Xi Magic Kitchen overcharged tip

less than 1 minute read

Published:

I have been a long time customer of Shan Xi Magic Kitchen, which is a Chinese restaurant in San Diego that serves Shan Xi food.

The last time we went there, the waiter overcharged me for tip. Although I paid \$101.00 in total, a few days later I noticed that I was charged \$105.23 on my credit card. It was easy to detect the fraud because I always tip so that the total amount becomes a natural number. Furthermore, I keep track of all my expenses using a personal finance software.

This is actually the second time that this restaurant overcharged me. The first time I thought it was just a mistake and I did not take any action. If it happens the second time within a relatively short time window, it must be on purpose.

I have disputed with my credit card company and they will credit me \$4.23. I have written a one-star review on Yelp. We will never go back to this restaurant.

As I am preparing for my first teaching assignments at Emory, I started from creating a syllabus template. My department provided a Word template, which was not exactly to my taste, so I wrote a template in \(\LaTeX\) here. The version titled syllabus_template.tex follows the basic structure of the Emory economics template, and the version titled syllabus_template_toda.tex adds some of my information that I use across all my courses.

The compensation at University of California has just published the figures for 2023. I have updated the data set for my paper and run regressions. In case readers are interested in predicting their salaries, the prediction equation in 2023 is \[\log y = 12.12 -0.0100T + 0.0052N_\textrm{pub} + 0.0204N_\textrm{top5} + 0.2485D_\textrm{assoc} + 0.5048D_\text{full}, \] where \(y\) is the 9-month salary, \(T\) is the number of years elapsed since obtaining Ph.D., \(N_\textrm{pub}\) is the cumulative number of peer-reviewed research articles, \(N_\textrm{top5}\) is the cumulative number of top 5 publications, and \(D_\textrm{assoc}, D_\textrm{full}\) are dummy variables for associate and full professors.

Three years ago, I wrote a blog post in which I mentioned that I stopped (strictly speaking, significantly reduced) contributing in 403(b) and 457(b) retirement savings plans because I could no longer afford it.
