We will handle this issue with the server at the end of the shift." and he'd come back saying "What an asshole!" and laughing about it with us. He had been a server as well as a cook before becoming manager. He knew…

Everyone please pipe down, a man is talking.

I always get the impression they're waiting for a nice, deserted alley to present itself.

This lady is me.

Not to create animosity, but you do know that lots of people's families once owned slaves, right? Like, probably a long list of famous people that you otherwise respect/admire....
