I have heard stories like this but never wanted to believe them. Is this some insane passive/aggressive hell or do these people have health issues?
As another poster to your post I also worked in a grocery store. One day while walking the aisles to put back left merchandise I watched as an older man starting shaking his legs and some poop just rolled out. I was in shock for a brief moment then said nope to myself, went back to the front, picked up the pager…
I worked in a grocery store when I was in high school; someone pooped in the frozen food aisle. We all gathered around the security monitors to replay it again and again.
This seems like one of the first times the Salty Waitress truly lived up to her name. This is about the saltiest answer she’s given to someone’s stupid question, and I, for one, welcome this new, no-nonsense Salty Waitress.
Who raised these people? Aside from throwing the issue away in the bathroom, where are these people dining where no trash bin exists?
Brilliantly stated.
He’d also be fat and out of shape and wear ill-fitting clothes and have fucked up hair...oh wait...
I never saw the survey and I spend more time on this site at work than I do working. Plus all the time on the shitter and whatnot when I'm off work.
And then one time he says “If you rake forests, forest fires are finished.” then the next time it’s “Raking forests is why the Finnish never have forest fires.” then the next it’s “I was talking to the President of Finland - great leader, they love me in Finland - and he told me that they don’t have forest fires…
I don’t think he’s actually all that self confident.
It’s a recurring thought exercise of mine to imagine what and where Trump would be if he hadn’t inherited the fortune, business, and political connections of his stupendously wealthy father. I keep coming back to this:
If Trump wasn’t a traitorous white supremacist grounding our country into the pavement, there’d be an almost endearing Baron Munchausen quality to the man. One day a visitor at one of his hotels or casinos, who happens to own a used car dealership in a small town in Michigan, pays Trump some benign compliment, and…

I go to bars to interact with and meet people. I do play with my phone sometimes,but people I see that only do that must be so lonely.
Dude, they’re being rude AND not paying attention to what you’re doing with their drink - this situation seems rife with opportunity! The lessons people aren’t taught as children are often taught to them by life as adults in a much harsher way than Mommy & Daddy could have...
Don’t do bars, so that part doesn’t apply to me, but since I normally eat alone, most of the time I’m at a sit-down restaurant I am busying myself on the phone, probably reading TV Tropes or Twitter. I’ll put it down to look at the menu and have eye contact with the server whenever they come over, but otherwise, I’m…
I like playing on my phone too.... but sometimes, it pays to put your phone in your pocket for a minute and interact with the world around you (just like we did back in the stone age before we had portable cellular telephones)
Beyond giving me your attention while you’re in the process of ordering (and that includes paying attention to when I’m done making your drinks so you can pay and receive your change) I don’t really care if you want to stare at your phone. Engaging with a chatty customer in conversation is always a roll of the dice…
You should definately encourage the bar’s owner to ban cell phone use. Perhaps set up a phone check area at the entrance where an employee can take the phones and give the customers a receipt. If that isn't appropriate for your place of business, might I suggest a cell phone jammer? Barring that, I think your only…
