Hey, people are totally happy to talk about Kobe’s past...as long as it’s about NBA championships and scoring titles.

Yeah, it might stop when men (like Kobe Bryant) stop raping women. It would be at least a nice start.

You’re absolutely right. A smart business owner would take the opportunity to make potential customers want desperately to give the restaurant another chance. S/he would call the people whose reservations were broken, apologize profusely for the mistake (“It was an error in the computer system but I take full…

And nobody, for the whole week before, bothered to look at the reservations that were coming in? You can claim that’s on one single person messing up one little thing for one little moment, but I doubt very much that’s the truth of the matter. You don’t just let the computer reservation system hum along in the…

Every day between the time they started getting reservations for New Year’s Day, when they knew they would be closed, and the time they finally notified those people their reservations were not going to be honored made the mistake that much worse. Notifying them less than 6 hours before the time of the reservation…

How scared are you of confrontation that you can’t get on board with the idea of complaining when someone has made a big mistake (huge) that may have ruined the complainant’s holiday?

Exactly. In fact, I would be surprised if a restaurant was closed for more than a couple of the “statutory” holidays every year, pretty much Thanksgiving and Christmas, and even then I wouldn’t consider it a given that a particular restaurant is closed. I certainly wouldn’t take extra care obtaining a reservation for…

There was a sandwich shop near my grandparents’ house that was apparently great, and my grandparents agreed. I never got to try it because they were open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. only on weekdays and by the time I had my freedom from school it had finally closed. It held its location on a pretty busy street for many…

The tax implications are that if the IRS finds out that someone is not declaring these “donations” as income, they’d almost certainly face big penalties and, potentially, prison time. Providing an entertainment service and then asking for money means that the money received is taxable income, even if you call the…

If you’re taking “donations” from people under circumstances like this, you’d better talk to a tax lawyer before you get into trouble. Donations to tax-exempt entities don’t get taxed and can provide the benefit of tax deductions to the donor; such entities jump through a lot of IRS hoops to get their tax-exempt status…

It's true because Coca-Cola is tastier than Sprite/7-Up. I pity my sister because my grandparents assigned these drinks by gender and I always got the far superior Roy Rogers.

Your trolling would seem a little more authentic if you’d used Friends in your simile.  Using Seinfeld is like screaming “I’m an edgelord.”

Any good place that bakes their own usually does so specifically to show off for their customers. It’s cheap, it’s easy, and, barring allergies, people usually like good bread. Kitchen staff already have to come in early for general prep; might as well have bread baking while doing everything else.

While I agree to some degree, let’s not forget that Terry Crews has charm as his primary marketable talent. There’s a point at which the public’s dislike of a famous person cancels out their charm. I’m not saying Terry’s crossed that line with most people, but his ability to deliver the lines of great writers isn’t…

It always bums me out when someone gets the fame, money, and power (coming out of the first two) to do a lot of right but then decides to do wrong in order to get a little more money.

I found the nutritional information a little shocking.  How is it possible that the biscuits have 6 more grams of fat but are bone dry and taste pretty crappy?  I’ll happily take the sugar of the McGriddles and love it.

The guy unloaded on a handcuffed suspect sitting in a police car. I['d like to] think that it would be a very rare cop who would try to cover that up, if only for the practical reason that getting rid of the evidence would be practically impossible.

It’s not just potential self-hate, it’s also a class issue. “I became a police officer, so why aren’t you doing something better with your life?”

Of course there’s space in the market for another good flavor. It just has to be truly good. They’ve screwed around with some godawful flavors (where at best one can is kind of enjoyable for novelty) over the past few years. The only way we’ll find out if this flavor will work is if Coca-Cola sells it and commits. It…

We’ve had the Chicken McGriddles here for about 2 months (we must have been one of the test markets) and I love the damn things. I like the flavor of the McGriddles themselves and, without the ridiculous amount of mayo in the McChicken (which, despite the mayo, has been my go-to for years), I was better able to…
