Good for her using social media to get help, but I have never not been warned about surge pricing when using Uber or Lyft. On Halloween in San Francisco, both Lyft and Uber wee charging 3.5 their normal rate and so I just skipped it and went to Reno instead of karaoke. (A two-night stay in a luxury suite with a…

There are lots of reasons to love living in Chicago in spite of all of our boo-hoo weather, and the WGN News team is one of them. Thanks for posting this.

That's actually pretty interesting. The question might be when is the contract actually formed. Is it when you download the app when sober?

Moreover, the incapacity argument about being drunk is tough when your argument was that you were too drunk to understand certain terms. Usually, arguments about your incapacity…

So I am working in a bar in Richmond Virginia, and its a slow early night in the summer, when our place only got busy around 10:00 PM.

Different molesters get different rules, and sometimes no rules. As for being near schools, that's a jurisdictional issue.

Hopefully their father will petition the court for custody and present this situation as proof that June is endangering those children.

Do you have a link? Everything I'm finding says that Anna was the 8-year-old victim previously mentioned, but if you've got something, I'll update it!

I had a regular when I worked at a diner who came in just for coffee and as he ordered it would always make the same exact joke "I like my coffee like I like my women, hot, black, and sweet." Even when I dropped the formality of taking his order and just grabbed him a cup of coffee as he sat down, he'd say it when I…

I know this might not be the best place to say it, but i just need to express my eternal gratitude to jezebel for having the only comments section anywhere on the Internet that fills me with joy instead of anger.

My favorite zippy comeback line is one I got from my boss. She was working the till, and chatting with an old lady who comes in to buy vegetables sometimes. Boss says something innocuous, like, "Oh, do you enjoy cooking?" And the old lady says, "Sweetie, when we got married I told my husband to pick one room for me to…

In the olden days of High Schools past, I was a meat clerk at a grocery store. We had a very nice, mid-40's woman that worked there, and she had an old guy that would call and pretend to be her husband. We usually just put him on hold and let him wear himself out, but one VERY busy Saturday, I elected to tell…

Not from a restaurant, but from Williams-Sonoma (which some customers seem to think is an all-you-can-eat buffet):

Oh my God, is this guy God?????

Awww!!

I worked at Subway for about a decade, and have had my fair share of awful and excellent customers.

I recently quit my job at a huge university to start my own business. Until it's up off the ground and bringing money in, I work as a cashier/bartender at a local cafe inside a grocery store. Some of our customers really suck and treat us all with utter disdain, because not only are we service workers, we're working…

It is often not spoken of as much, but yeah, a big part of what makes serving such a hellish experience can be your coworkers. I can relate to the last story and I can't even tell you how many times other servers would be desperate to get rid of tables based solely on the customers' race (or gender, or age). Over…

That is so lovely. My Celebrity Story: about 17 years ago I worked in a fancy sandwich shop in Berkeley. The guys from Green Day, who are locals and who were then newly huge rockstars, came in and ate sandwiches, then carefully bussed and tidied their table. Which no other customers ever did the whole year I worked…

Every Friday night, these two wonderful women come into the restaurant I work at at about 5pm and stay until 8:30 or so drinking and chatting and relaxing after a long work week. They always have kind words for my coworkers and me, and they are genuinely interested in seeing me pay for graduate school - so much so…
