Maybe if McDonalds was a clean place, with friendly, efficient employees and a smoothly flowing drive through people might go back.

To be fair, some people work New Years eve and countless other days, have family obligations, or just plain forget something. Some people also choose to work New Year's to bring money in for their household to pay bills like every other day. It might be the turn of a New Year, but not shopping on days they work…

And if the fucking chef was eating my food, that would fucking matter. But I am eating it, and I get to decide what touches my tongue which will be tasting my food that I am paying money for.

That’s what the calculator was showing me — that I would still owe hundreds with 0 deductions, and I know that just can’t be so, given how much we make and how much we squirrel away in a tax-deferred accounts.
I think their calculator has a glitch in it.
Or maybe the IRS just wants us to overwithhold?

Man, I really miss speedsters and contact hitters. Baseball was almost a different sport when I was a kid.

WTF. The issue isn’t (simply) the material cost to the restaurant - the issue is that you are refusing to pay the restaurant what they charge for something, and just taking it anyway. That’s theft.

One of the things I dislike most about soccer is that arbitrary extra time thing. One of the great aspects of sports is the idea of giving it your all when shit is on the line and the game is almost over: pulling a goalie, closers and pinch hitters, fouling the other team to seemingly only lengthen the game by 45…

“and the match lasts 90 minutes”

although 

I feel this is a bad premise for math purposes. Comparing scripted television ratings to live sports seems like apples to oranges. How are the other sports comparing? NBA regular season rose 8% this year. Premier League rose. MLB dropped from 2016-2017, but under 5%. And the NHL had the worst, a 12% drop. If some…

I ordered 9 things on amazon this weekend and i hope my city wins the amazon 2nd HQ. The biggest employer here pays no local property tax and was incentivized to build here. Then it brought 20k professional jobs to the area. This town has gone through a massive boom because of them and its a great city.

Depending on what state you’re in that could be illegal.

I’ll eat at my pace, you eat at yours, and if either of our eating paces are the deciding factor in “getting laid” or not, then good. I have no interest in such a pretentious shitheel of a person who thinks they’re “more civilized” or otherwise superior because they ingest food at a different rate.

So, ipso facto, if you could just slow the fuck down, and match the pace of the person sitting across from you, you might get laid more often. No one likes to feel pressured to scarf down, or abandon, the remainder of their meal at the risk of eating alone in front of others. Think about it.

Oh the tyranny of many side plates!

A lot of chain restaurants give you a shit ton of plates, though, and a itty bitty table for multiple people. One time I ordered an entree that arrived on three separate dishes and when I asked for a side of some kind of dressing, that came on yet ANOTHER plate. I genuinely thought stacking was helpful, so it’s good…

Spoiler alert: you don’t.

Oh, come on...

Me too. And don’t worry, not EVERYONE on this thread is a total asshole. A surprising number, but not everyone.

Thank you for posting this. As soon as I stop crying for the 75th time I’m getting on the Addison bus with a box full of chalk. I have quite a few names to add to that wall.
