Recently, a rumour was started about a local candidate. The person who started the rumour lived in Wyoming until a few months ago, but is now homeless and couch surfing/staying in motels/staying in a trailer.

It got me thinking: can someone who doesn't have an address vote? You have to be a citizen of a municipality to vote there, right, so can someone who doesn't have a fixed address anywhere vote? If so, how do they prove where they should be eligible to vote?

I fully believe homeless people should be able to vote, I'm just wondering the logistics of ensuring they vote in the right municipality

Not sure how I could possibly be TA, but the restaurant employees didn't seem to happy with me.

I took my family out to dinner at a small local restaurant for my kid's birthday. There were 7 of us and the food and service were great, as always. We've been going to this place somewhat regularly for 7 years now. There's one server who's been working there all that time and he was our server on the night in question, too.

It was quiet when we got there, but quickly got very busy with a large party occupying about half the restaurant and all the other tables were full as well, which is unusual for a week night.

Got the bill, paid, tipped generously and left. Got home and realized that there had been a mistake. My entire meal (the most expensive ordered since I'm gluten free) wasn't on the bill. I facebook messaged the restaurant the next morning and got an autoreply that they dont monitor their messages.

The following day after that, I went in to pay for my meal. It was quiet, being as it was right when they opened for lunch on a weekday. The 2 FOH employees who were working were both being really weird. They seemed to be insinuating that I must've complained about the meal or had some problem with it. Then they started questioning who the server was and I kept reiterating how busy it was and how easy it would be for someone to make a mistake. Now Im worried that he will be reprimanded or even fired.

A little more context: The cost of living is through the roof, food prices keep rising (over 30% of people are struggling to feed their families), the local job market is crashing fast due to cutbacks in my city's main industry (lots of tradesmen who are used to making $200,000+/yr have been unemployed 6+ months), landlords are getting greedier and greedier, and things are just generally bleak. Lots of well-established locally owned restaurants have been forced to close recently because people aren't going out to eat, their supply costs are increasing, and their rents are also increasing.

I felt awful that a mistake was made in my favour, and that was compounded by knowing the restaurant is likely struggling financially, just like every other restaurant in the city.

TLDR; Went back to a restaurant to pay for a meal that had somehow been missed on the bill, now the server may lose his job.
