definitely not Asian. we a) eat cucumbers like its going out of style and b) sea cucumbers are a luxury food for us (good sea cucumbers go for $100 - 500/lb) so she would've bought out all the sea cucumbers in the store if she discovered them on salads and sandwiches

One of my former bosses was trying to order a chicken combo, 3 pieces, a biscuit and a drink from a Popeyes/KFC (doesn’t matter). The price was like $5.99 based on the menu. When the cashier completed the order, it was a few dollars more. He questioned the cashier, and she informed him that the “combo” button was…

I enjoy reading the posts on a Kinja subblog that rhymes with “Flitchenette”.

My family would get Little Caesar’s pretty often as a kid, but I never realized they had salads, and I gotta say beats and garbonzo beans are more than what I would expect, most places would just do lettuce, tomatoes, maybe some shredded carrots or cabbage.

One time I ordered some pasta without a particular sauce, and the restaurant’s chef came out and yelled at me for what an awful barbarian I was.

Note: I was nine years old at the time.

As I love both Garbonzos and Beets, this frankly sounds delicious.

it really took me a long time to differentiate between lobster crackers and oyster crackers tbh

A Louisiana company called Zapp’s makes Crawtators. They are regular old kettle chips with crawfish seasoning. Pretty sure there’s no crustacean in them. https://www.zapps.com/zapps-cajun-cr…

She thought it was really dishonest that we said some of our sandwiches were vegetarian or vegan when they contained cucumber. The dishwasher was confused and said that cucumbers were vegetables. The first woman disagreed, “No, they’re animals. They live in the sea.” They argued this point for some time.

I can’t believe I’m becoming that person, but: I totally would have made that mistake. I live in Maine and I’ve never heard them be called ‘lobster crackers’. they are nut crackers or claw crackers. My brain would have jumped to oyster crackers, too. That being said, THAT’S WHY YOU ASK. All of these today (not knowing…

Seriously. Most people were laid back and were incredibly nice. This lady was weird. One of those who get their jollies picking on others in subservient positions. I think the main point of all her questions was to figure out why I wasn't making a six figure income right out of college. I wasn't a Trump, lady. Don't…

Wait, I double majored in English and Philosophy and I turned out...

that's the way i learned it from the works of robert heinlein

But, but, but... it is EXACTLY free if she gives it to you.

I got propositioned while fully clothed in winter weather puffy coat and rugged-tread boots walking to my boyfriend's apt less than a mile away. Dude really, really tried to convince me I was for hire and to get into his car even after I shot him a very embarrassed and emphatic, "UH NO THANKS." I ran away bawling.

I had a table once whisper loudly to their children, "if you don't go to college, you'll end up waiting tables like her..." while I was prebussing their table.

Doesn't corporate realize how much in profits they lose by kowtowing to these idiots?

Along the same lines as Becca's story about people making assumptions about educational backgrounds, I waited tables at an Italian chain restaurant that falls between Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill in terms of cost/quality the summer between college and law school. Our clientele was generally pretty decent, and as a…

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!

So....were the "Air Force" sons in Lawrence's story threatening to bomb San Francisco if this restaurant didn't give them a military discount? I'm trying figure out if they could have possibly meant anything else.
