Limiting special orders is definitely a factor, especially at McDonald’s which pioneered the super-fast assembly line of burgers.

The Friends cast didn’t get those sweet salaries until the show blew up and they were able to renegotiate their contracts. Neither did the stars of Game of Thrones.

Assuming it was a union shop, the cast and crew were paid for their work. Even if it wasn’t a union production, they still got paid, just less.

I worked briefly (temp) for a neurosurgeon at an extremely prestigious medical school/hospital and his specialty was researching and treating a condition literally called “failed back surgery syndrome.” It was shocking to me at the time how many cases were referred to him from all over the world.

Absolutely. If he was having trouble making his proverbial nut on a million-plus dollars (gross) per year, such that he needed bridge loans to get by, then he was fucking up.

Nope. Not even a little bit. Every guy in history has thought a pretty woman in the service industry has been flirting with him at least once, and 99.99% of the time it’s just someone doing their job in a friendly manner.

Also, what kind of crappy boss is posting pictures of employees with enough information to allow their personal pages/profiles to be found? I’d be one pissed-off employee if a customer found me through my employer’s Facebook page.

To clarify, talk to her as a server, not as a potential romantic connection. The worst part about being hit on at work is that the hitter has essentially trapped the hittee in a situation from which they can’t easily escape. When it’s a stranger (meaning anyone they only see at work once a week or less and with whom…

That excuse looks pretty weak when you take a look at the Repugnican filth elected to state office. Gerrymandering doesn't do shit to statewide elections.

Except that such a lawsuit would be invalid according to the Supreme Court which has previously ruled that police officers are not required to intervene in situations like this where they might risk injury.

Leto is wildly overrated. Also, method acting isn't acting.

If they won't show you the fish on top of the counter before weighing and wrapping, fuck 'em. You should be able to smell bad fish from a couple feet away; you don't need to put your honker right next to it before taking a big sniff.

And, if you’re really picky (or live somewhere the water is trying to kill you - e.g., Flint, MI), run it through a filter. A Brita pitcher (or other comparable brand) will cost a lot less and do a lot less environmental damage than buying bottled water.

I don’t doubt that but there’s a thick layer of stupidity underlying the CTE. He was clearly not educated during his years playing football in school, likely making grades for eligibility because nobody would dare fail the star player. Add in the right-wing love of flat-out lying and you’ve got a perfect recipe for…

It’s far more likely she didn’t eat because someone on set told her that nothing on set was actually edible. This isn’t like a movie where eating isn’t the focus of the scene. If her employer wanted her to take a bite, she’d take a bite.

It seems like Sony simply took the simplest - and of course most profitable - approach to calculating the upgrade cost: Total cost minus amount already paid.

People are choosing to conflate going to comedy club shows with buying tickets to see a specific comedian at a large venue. One should expect random combinations of style and content at a comedy club but a big draw like Mulaney is in control of his shows and should be curating his openers carefully.

I pity him. He looks in the mirror every day and apparently doesn't realize that he needs badly to go to the doctor. 

Do you really think this model is anywhere near 300 pounds? How often do you comment on the health problems attendant to and implied by pictures of models who don’t weigh a hundred pounds soaking wet?

Cool. I'm sure you've been lobbying hard to make it illegal for kids to buy Pokemon cards. Keep it up, you philosopher genius!
