Completely anecdotal but people from the south have taken to cramming "blessed" into their speech as much as possible (have a blessed day" instead of "have a nice day") because it's one more way of pushing Jesus on people and spiting their perceived enemies, akin to how saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" became a thing.


Here in North Florida a local car dealer has been using his twin daughters in his ads since they were old enough to talk and they're so hated that at one point a free local rag declared them the scariest people in Jacksonville.



Hey I went to their dealership last weekend (likely because I was aware of it from all the ads with those annoying girls) and it was loving terrible

Wow, the Texas Roadhouse near me isn't like that. I've probably been there fifty times because it's one of the few reasonably priced sit-down restaurants in the town I work in. I have never once seen a dance routine.

They do have a lovely song that they sing for people's birthdays, and that happens at least once every time I'm there. It's short, though. I really hate being in a place with cloth loving napkins and hearing a line of clapping, singing servers coming anywhere near me. It is upsetting to the digestion and feels pretty degrading to the staff. This is pretty much every restaurant now, though, sadly.

It's your Birthday Yee HAW

lol how big a child are you

I am literally giant baby.

Seriously, though, I don't mind noise at all if I'm in a place where it is appropriate. You don't bring screaming children into restaurants that don't have a slide or a ball-pit, and I find it similarly intrusive to suddenly have a bunch of people yelling at the top of their lungs while I'm eating a steak.

It's not the end of the world or anything, but I think it's pretty stupid, that's all. I don't really lose any sleep over it or anything, but you know, internet hyperbole.

Every restaurant? Do you only go to child-friendly chains or is this actually something that real restaurants are doing?

Pretty much every chain restaurant. Obviously not fine dining establishments with $50 pasta dishes and $80 steaks, but any place that average people go on an average week.

My very first job was at a union supermarket in RI

I had to pay $100 for union dues out of my first four paychecks and then like $5 after that I think. I was making less than $6 an hour too.


I didn't really understand it at the time because we don't teach important things in the US, but even then it didn't really seem like a big deal.


I am now a massively pro-union leftist but haven't been in a union job since.

Chain restaurants are fine.

You don't have to like everything for it to be of value to others.

Many people value predictability over novelty.

This is also fine.

My ex would specifically buy pink stuff like dice, tape measures, and pencils so neckbeards wouldn't steal her poo poo at games stores. There were a few guys who didn't even want to use a pink tape measure while playing with their meticulously painted plastic dollies.

When I graduated for my MA, I opened the program and saw that Donald Sutherland was speaking. Holy poo poo, how did I not hear about this? Turns out the head of some frozen food company is also named Donald Sutherland, and was giving the intro speech for the MBA class. Boooo.
When I was like 16 I was working one of my first jobs and I was being a cashier for two days at another branch I was unfamiliar with so I was already a bit stressed and some old dude asked to use the bathroom and I was like no, sorry. And the manager fell all over himself to apologize to the random customer and escorted him to the bathroom. Obviously, that man was Donald Sutherland but I didn't know who the gently caress he was at the time.

Fuckers should have to follow the same rules as everyone else even if they're famous. :colbert:

Why couldn't customers use the bathroom?

It was a small pharmacy and our only bathroom was a tiny closet deep in the stockroom which also housed mops and tools and such. It just wasn't designed for customer use. Probably an insurance violation too.

The single most tiresome and embarrassing goon trope is the claim that a single glance at any perfectly normal food item from a fast food or fast casual chain restaurant will cause them to immediately poo poo their pants, vomit, black out, have a heart attack, and go into a coma.

We get it, you don't even own a TV, you vape, and you only eat cage free artisanal activated Soylent. Shut the gently caress up.

Chipotle had a few dozen people get sick out of millions of served meals. It's funny, but it's not a crisis, nor the norm.
