I haven’t worked in a restaurant since 2011, but I’ve noticed an alarming drop in the percentage of restaurants doing auto-grats, and I’ve had to patiently explain to large groups of very dumb people I eat with that no, there’s no gratuity, YOU CAN LOOK AT THE FREAKIN CHECK AND SEE IT’S NOT ON THERE. Several people…

Gotta love that corporate double-talk.
What are you even talking about?
Is there really such thing as an etiquette “rumor” though? Like, no matter how many people believe vaccines cause autism, it’s still demonstrably untrue. But once a certain percentage of the population believes it’s OK to send a gift up to a year after the wedding, then doesn’t it become true?
I really don’t care about receiving thank-you notes, either. If I ship someone a gift, I might worry about whether it arrived, but a quick “got ur pkg, tx!” text would more than suffice. If I never get confirmation and I’m still worried, I can ask next time I talk to the person. I seldom bother giving gifts to people…
Are you trying to say Baskin-Robbins? Because there is no such business as “31 flavors.” That’s Baskin-Robbins’ tagline. And if you can’t get that part right...

It was actually Farrell’s ice cream parlor, and the list was sold without their permission: http://www.snopes.com/military/icecr…
Most chain restaurants and coffee shops are owned by people who have never worked as servers or baristas and don’t fully grok how awful humans can be. Their perspective is essentially that all customers represent potential profit and therefore must be catered to, and if the employees won’t do it, there are a thousand…
I would pay a $20 cover charge and wait an hour for my cocktail to watch that.
Kinja won’t let me star your comment, and I can’t just let that go. Your manager is awesome.
Maybe you can speak to why this douche had to have it rung up the cheap way, since he was getting it for free anyway. Does the free birthday drink apply only up to a certain dollar value?
You probably know this, since you say “if possible,” but I just wanted to add for the benefit of anyone reading this that sometimes that’s not a great solution, because some restaurants have only a few pitchers and need them all in circulation at all times. This was the case at one restaurant where I worked, where…
And then of course there’s this asshole, who thinks abortion is murder but it’s OK if the father does it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/17/mis…
Fireball in chocolate shakes actually sounds like it would be really good. As to your question, I think just a tiny bit of regular soap on a damp paper towel might do the trick. Now I’m wondering what ever happened to Jolie Kerr’s Ask A Clean Person.
I don’t think you need to oppose an exception to abortion bans in the case of danger to the pregnant woman to be consistent. You do need to oppose exceptions for rape and incest, because otherwise that makes it clear you don’t really care about the fetus, just about making sure sluts get punished. But we make…
You’ll never please everyone...that’s why there’s a bar.
She is dead to you now, right?
I had acne starting at around age 8. Washing my face made no goddamn difference at all. Almost everything else on the market made no difference. The only thing that helped, in fact, was the nuclear option: Accutane. Four courses of it over 20 years, to be exact. Fuck anyone who says my acne was due to my lax personal…
