I didn’t watch that closely but I wouldn’t be surprised if some stores did that. The pancakes go in there too, that’s why they’re the only breakfast thing I’ll order all day. They’re not sitting ready, getting gross and old...

At McDonald’s the difference is that at self check out screens, it didn’t pop up in the kitchen until the customer was completed paying. BUT it would pop up *between* preexisting orders with the countdown already started from when they began to order it. So the kitchen wouldn’t even SEE the order because it was not…

Hahaha oh my god you would have *loved* the day a woman came through in a minivan literally full of half-dead potted plants, ordered an ice cream cone, DEMANDED BLACK PEPPER (yeah she put it on the ice cream), then refused to drive away from the window until she had eaten the whole thing.

Nah, the eggs still get cracked one at a time and grilled in the little rows of circles. Probably just so they can put those keywords on the ads.

Ooooh, oh, right. And the entire menu thing is because it is against regulation to cook pork and eggs on the same grill as beef unless a 5 minute sanitization process is done between. It’s not because humans too stupid to flip sausage and beef, it’s because the burgers would then cease to be edible to 2/3 major…

Even the 24/7 mcdonalds’ need about 30m downtime per day. Not for the employees. For the cash register system to reset. One time they forgot, and we had the system forcestop in the middle of a rush. We literally had to close because we could not order anything or accept any payment.

They usually lose pets off the plane. Some geniuses can get out of their crates (or the crate breaks through mishandling), they’re surrounded by scary noises and smells they don’t recognize, and even if someone sees them escaping they often keep running. One time I heard about a cat that walked back to its old house,…

I mean, you know people relocate permanently on airplanes, right? I guess they’re supposed to just abandon their dogs and cats (no, you can’t bring a peacock in the cabin of an airplane)

If someone knows your address, they can probably access more important things than your child’s computer. Strangers won’t know the password, and that’s the real goal.

Everyone around said that it was verbally stated that the bag contained a dog. The only person saying the dog was unknown is the woman who is at risk of losing her job if she accepts culpability. Everyone else interviewed said they heard the owner say it was a dog, and that the dog barked or cried and attendants…

A lot more training than passengers. If we had to choose someone of the two and say “this is the person I expect to know about flight safety” it would be the FA, not the passenger. I expect a fast food employee to be able to tell me what toppings are on a burger, I expect a barista to know what’s in a latte, and I…

“All flight attendants must be certified by the FAA. To become certified, flight attendants must complete their employer’s initial training program and pass an exam. Flight attendants are certified for specific types of aircraft and must take new training for each type of aircraft on which they are to work. In…

I wouldn’t have done the same thing, but I do understand how this could have happened. That doesn’t mean she’s morally off the hook. I believe that since this only is news because witnesses came forward, that implies that she accepts a large portion of blame for the death. To me, if she is already experiencing the…

Also, I don’t know. I take what is technically no different than poison every day because someone who claims to know what they’re talking about tells me it will make me feel better. Even though it never does make me feel better. Yeah, we do what experts tell us to. Yeah, we are told to trust people to know how to do…

Ok. Not everyone has the strength to follow their own instincts against what a trained professional tells them is correct.

Should all the passengers be banned from having dogs as well?

You want to absolve a flight attendant for making a really bad mistake at her job. I want to forgive a passenger for trusting a trained expert in airplane safety over her own instincts.

Is it that hard to grasp that there are hundreds of possible reasons why not taking that flight would have caused her considerable harm?

And no, we don’t know her reason for the flight. It may have been medical, it may have been an urgent situation causing stress to her and affecting her ability to walk out without huge consequences. She paid for 4 living things to be on that plane, not just one ticket. The baby might have not needed a ticket depending…

If you say you will not comply with airline officials’ orders (here the order is, put the dog in the bin) then they bring on specialized airport security which has been represented in the media as violent for no real cause (see: man beaten bloody for refusing to get out of his seat and get off the plane to make space…
