God, this is horrifying. As a former prosecuting attorney I’ve worked with law enforcement. They are caring human beings. Some can be a tad arrogant, but every single officer I ever worked with genuinely wanted to help victims. Especially children.

Meeks said one “narrative” from the approximately 30-second video is that his deputy struck a pregnant woman. But another narrative, he said, is that Robinson was reaching for his weapon.

Fucking a. I came in wanting to say "Not for me". And its true. Every cop I've ever met, even when I fucked up as a teenager, was nice (or at least... respectfully assertive).

I have to agree with everyone else here: going on a rage tear and denying a server a tip over the semantics of the menu is petty, childish, entitled, horrible behavior. But I will say someone should at least grab some 409 if a baby's butt was on a table.

Wow, you sound like a really great person to eat out with. If you were in my dinner party I wouldn't be embarrassed by your ranting or insistence on not paying an added gratuity. I totally wouldn't just quietly leave your share of the tip on the table out of my own pocket out of being ashamed at being associated with

My protip to anybody using O’Hare would be to pick the earliest-morning flight you can find. The business types that fly that early don’t fuck around.

I love when people try to rationalize their assholery. I work retail and when people are being dicks about coupons or discounts they always say "it's not the money, it's the principle" Look Lady, if you're going to scream at one of my teenage employees over 87 cents you're a dick. The principle you need to embrace

I worked at Denny's long ago. One asian family of 4 left a penny at each seat, which made me angry because they had no complaints about my service. However, I soon noticed they'd made a number of dollar bills into quasi-origami and put them into the fake flowers on their table for me. Apparently the pennies were

I hope you stop going to restaurants altogether.

I once got a 4-cent tip. Not NO tip. A 4-cent tip.

You are a repugnant excuse for a human being, and you should really spare more people the "pleasure" of your patronage.

I worked at a Little Caesar's in high school, and this guy once came in and went "Hail Caesar! Do you know who Caesar is?" all condescending. So I, being a full of it 17 year-old, started reciting Mark Antony's speech from Julius Caesar ("Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not

Callie is up there with Dustin Hucks for "people who made a mildly entertaining story far moreso in the retelling." I'm looking this over again, and I really should've given that story the last spot (which I usually save for what I think is the best) rather than the first (which is usually second-best). I think

I just followed you purely for this beautiful, majestic swan of a comment.

HAHAHAHA @ the popcorn story. HAHAHAHAHA I wish I could have seen the look on that woman's face. You want free popcorn? If it's on the floor, it's free!

Use a few tablespoons of it to make chasseur sauce, then pour that sauce on some meat, then eat it, then die happy.

I'll give you all a real deal on my Cotton Consommé - just $7 a cup. It promotes ketones, removes toxins in your bloodstream, and offers a natural immune boost.

Make a stock and then reduce it into a demi-glace. I don't know where I would use this, but it sure looks like fun.

I worked in restaurants all throughout my 20's. Sexual harassment is a part of the job, so much so that, as both CA Pinkham and the woman in this story say, you just grow accustomed to it being a part of the job, ESPECIALLY from the kitchen staff. I have this strange feeling even typing this, that just acknowledging
