Apparently the DC Metro bans eating on trains to avoid rats.

I mean, I was cherry-picking one incident because it’s one of the more recent ones I remember. But there’s a story from 2000 about a 12 year-old getting put in handcuffs for eating french fries on the Metro. There are others, but hard to find via google as of late because this story is taking up the bulk of the search…

it’d take a special flavour of jerk

Remember the story about the girl who was handcuffed for eating a CANDY BAR on the metro?

More like antisocial media, amirite?

Two of many things that suck about social media.

I work at a restaurant. If people have a couple of slices of pizza left that they don’t want boxed up to take home, I box it up anyways, and then I take it home.

Some people can’t eat a whole lot in a sitting, and portions are often huge. Sometimes the food isn’t very good. Sometimes it’s very rich, and you’ve had enough.  Many, many reasons exist.

True story, but back when I was a first year First Officer at a regional airline (making roughly $17k/yr), I absolutely trolled the hallways of hotels on overnights for leftover room service. To this day I remember my biggest haul was a large pizza only missing one piece. It was like hitting the lottery.

This is “you gonna eat that?” behavior from the high school cafeteria taken to a new level. I approve.

As a drunken college student, I did this once and got kicked out of the restaurant.

What if you just got up and went to the bathroom and come back to see some random goofball eating your food?

I think there are a lot of questions not addressed/answered by the press release, obviously--what this means for each brewery’s portfolio, staff, distribution, etc. etc. Who knows how much this will even register to consumers. Years after the Duvel/Firestone/Ommegang deal, do people care? 

Jim Koch is a proponent of independent brewers and craft beers (unless something changed?).
