And neither does the person quoted in this article. But this all reads like made up bullshit to someone who worked fast food for years. Nobody is giving you extra “ketchup” or anything else because you had a bad day and there is a shitload of noise near the microphone. You aren’t clearly hearing most conversations…

I’m surprised people didn’t know this already. You’re not holding down any buttons to speak, like a walkie-talkie. If it wasnt always listening, you wouldn’t be heard. 

When a drive-thru worker doubled as tech support.

Lol, I worked in fast food for like eight years. The people in the drive through don’t give a shit about what you’re saying unless they’ve already started taking your order. If they told you to wait, they aren’t paying attention to you, they’re focusing on whatever they needed to do before taking your order. Unless…

You don’t have to spend every dollar you take in.

If it’s just slightly bad, it can be resurrected by washing it throughly in water with lemon juice and salt.  Cook immediately.  And let your spouse take the first bite.

I want to give you the Pedant Award for this comment but I’m sure you’d find something wrong with it.

Just to get a little more technical since it’s tax season... $50,000 salary less federal taxes of $4,373, CA taxes of $1,513, FICA of $3,100 and medicare of $725 leaves $40,289 assuming no other paycheck deductions so it’s more like $20/hour when considering the trade-off of making a purchase.  If your employer isn’t…

They can also be Fat black guys.

I’m one of those people with an ability to take standardized tests and do really, really well, but they’re not nearly as easy as you portray. Kids of decent intelligence and good early academic opportunity can sincerely apply themselves, get the most expensive prep courses and tutors, take practice tests for years—and…

Takes like this are the best, because they reaffirm that Lakers fans will maintain Lakers exceptionalism long after they have fallen into basketball hell: “Oh, Denver? I thought you meant REAL NBA teams, like the one that is currently in line to get the 13th pick in the draft.”

Who would have thought Rondo was a petulant guy and poor teammate?  No one could have predicted this!

Yes. No team has ever survived injuries to their best players. The Pacers are an illusion. Last years Celtics are a mirage.

That video of Rondo. Holy shit. There’s dysfunction, there’s toxic workplaces and then there’s THAT.
