Thank goodness there was a man there to intervene.

They left out the part where the hero tips his fedora, and escorts M'lady out of the store. And then they both married the lady who asked if she was a lesbian, and everyone clapped.

I didn't notice that it was posted by someone to another's page, and I'd never heard the joke before. My apologies.

As long as you promise to never go that fast again, it's all cool.

Tip Sharing is illegal as gently caress in most cases, and if any employer asks you to do that, you should contact a state agency ASAP and make sure they're not cheating you. There's still a shitton of restaurants that flaunt that law, and nobody calls them on it because tipping positions are often given to people that the system has beat the fight out of long ago.

quote:

Tip Pool
Requirements
: The requirement that an employee must retain all tips does not preclude a valid tip pooling or
sharing arrangement among employees who customarily and regularly receive tips, such as waiters,
waitresses, bellhops, counter personnel (who serve customers), bussers, and service bartenders. A valid
tip pool may not include employees who do not customarily and regularly received tips, such as
dishwashers, cooks, chefs, and janitors.

If you're ever asked to share a tip with the chefs, scream bloody murder because they're robbing you.

Oh god I found a horrific poo poo that did happen. How fat do you have to be for CPS threaten to take your kids away, for that reason? Like you would literally have to be immobile and confined to a bed.

If you aren’t in fear that your children will be taken away because of your weight, you have thin privilege.

I like the implication that the Reddit user is so fat, nobody in his story seems to question the idea that he would purchase and eat 23 pies on top of his burgers. Like, he walks away with two armfuls of bags stuffed with pies, and nobody gives a poo poo until that one customer gets to the counter. The mental image of a 400-pound man power-walking through a food court trying to cram ill-gotten pies in his food hole while being chased by a woman intent on stealing his pies makes me chuckle. :v:

"I don't know, ma'am. Why don't you ask that gentleman who just walked off with 23 pies. He might have some idea."

After dealing with all of that when my grandfather died, my mother found the magic bullet when it was time to cancel the insurance policy on his vehicle.

"I'm sorry, we have to speak with the policy holder."
"He's dead, you can't talk with a dead person!"
"I'm sorry for your loss, but we must-"
"He was also deaf, before he died. He's literally never spoken with you people."
"Oh... in that case, you can act as his interpreter then."

Right, they don't say "We must talk with the deceased", they say "only the account holder can make that decision." The issue isn't that they're stupid, it's that they're peons. They have two things hammered into them constantly. "Don't let someone other than the account holder do poo poo or we'll get sued" and "Don't bother management with anything, or you'll get fired." So it becomes a catch 22. Only the account holder can get through to a manager, and only a manager can give the OK for someone other than the account holder to cancel the account.

It's at it's worst when you're dealing with money, because the person on the phone doesn't want to close the account. If they can frustrate you enough to give up, they've won. The account will continue, until the unpaid bills have it sent to collections, where it officially becomes Someone Else's Problem. As long as it's Someone Else's Problem, that particular customer service representative won't get written up and/or docked pay for losing an account. It's the same poo poo that led to the infamous comcast call that was all over the news a few weeks ago.

And now, instead, she's with a guy named Chad who isn't into "nerd games" and has never tipped his hat at her and called her M'Lady not even once.

FYI, that was very nice of you and this is one of those cases when someone should applaud and cheer. And I'm sure they're kids were happy to have some fun straws. We should all be doing poo poo like this.

For some poo poo That Did Happen, I once interviewed a guy with the local food bank, on the air, about their food drive. He asked people if they wouldn't mind donating some sugary cereal, beef jerky, fruit snacks, etc. He said they already had received a bunch of donations of canned vegetables and dry pasta and stuff, but he'd like to have more things they could give out which the children of poor families would really enjoy eating. People got pissed, and a few actually called in to complain. He was called everything from a socialist, to an ungrateful bastard, for daring to suggest that maybe poor people should get something other than the cheapest, blandest poo poo available.

Also a lot of places that still sell CDs tell their cashiers to say that. It's so people won't buy a CD, run home and rip it, and then bring it back. It's retarded, because anyone that just wants some free music has a billion options for getting it other than "Rip off -your store here-" Hastings, in particular, is super-anal about that poo poo. One store I used to go to stopped taking returns even if they sold a hosed-up CD, they'd just spout that crap about CD returns not being allowed.
