Also, pretty much every argument gets dumpstered here: http://kitchenette.jezebel.com/heres-how-every-argument-against-a-minimum-wage-hike-is-1728874042  i always bring my own sharpie to work but they have enough that i don't need to. just previous gigs didn't always have them so i'm accustomed to making it part of what i bring with me. that list has pared down a lot in the last few months now that i have a stable full-time gig (also i just plain wasn't using my bench scraper for anything anymore)

I mean, having to re-fire one order because the server couldn't memorize on the fly is more expensive than ordering a hundred pens with the restaurant's logo on them, for pete's sake.

Get a bag of Bic pens it's like 10 cents a pen. Save your nice pens for writing down orders, and have four bics in your apron for when you drop checks.

i remember, when i first started, wondering about the expectation to provide my own pens and just begrudgingly coming to accept it. the logo pens is a really good call, now that we actually have a logo we should deffo do that.

I need Sharpies all the time, and all my shop seems to have is, inexplicably, dry and/or wet-erase markers. Finally bought a key-chain Sharpie from AC Moore that I can keep on my person, best $1.49 I've spent. I will gladly send you Expo's for Sharpies, or even regular pens. (If anyone wants the Crayola washables [wtf] you can just have those) So I crushed the middle finger on my right hand in my garage door last night. Being on sandwich line and making wraps today sure was fun!  On the upside, I got to flip off a lot of people because I can't bend the finger.

I know some states have laws about like how much booze can be in like a single "serving", but how widespread across the country is this? Saw some old friends the other day and some of our old misadventures came up, including a time I ordered, was served, and drank, a pint glass full of Jameson's. The evening went worse from there on, but I would order and be served this on more than one occasion in a few different states, but now I cannot imagine how any reasonable person would serve someone so much at once. One of the old friends lives in NC and mentioned that there was some law about how much can be served at one time, and we wondered if laws like that were common.

Utah is the only one I know of with a specific amount you're allowed to serve at a time, but I think every state has laws against over serving, which 16 ounces of whiskey would definitely qualify as. A quick check shows NC has a law saying unless it's a boilermaker restaurants can only serve one drink at a time, but not how much alcohol can be in that drink. Utah doesn't let you serve more than a jigger of the hard stuff in a drink. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 18:12 on May 27, 2017 |

He is a nerd and wanted to let stouts warm up a bit.

Only ever having worked at a pizza place as a driver, that really sucks. I mean, you do a Manhattan or a sidecar or a martini, that's over 2oz on the base liquor, let alone the Cointreau or vermouth.

That's not a provincial law thing, that's probably just a "we're up north and this is what's best for people not getting drunk and loving up our property". Northern Saskatchewan (where I grew up) has similar things, yet where I am now (southern Ontario) the limit is 3oz of hard alcohol at a time (per person, so you can still do pitchers/fishbowls/punch bowls/whatever). And the 2 drink limit per half hour is probably suggested by Smart Serv (the provincial accreditation you need to serve alcohol) but no one ever follows that.
