Ever heard of The Vortex? The owner is one of my favorite people, like, on the planet. Here are their policies, which includes this peach and many others:

Of, like, a terminal yeast infection.

I guess it varies by restaurant then.

I don’t think you can even make reservations at Cheesecake Factory. At least in our area you can’t. I’ve started to just refuse to go to large birthdays that happen there since I know we’ll end up waiting forever since everyone will be late and there will be an hour long wait anyway. A friend of a friend had a party…

It’s fucking Southerners, and it is the goddamn worst. “Pop” is annoyingly twee, but on balance, I’d much rather deal with that than fucking “Coke.” Seriously, if you are reading this and you call all soda “Coke,” you are terrible and you should feel bad about the fact that you are terrible. Never, ever trust a person…

I don’t care what people say, I love the fake looking nacho cheese you get at stadiums or food stands. I buy it at the store too, comes in a can. I always ask what kind of cheese restaurants use for cheese fries, sorry I want the gooey yellow stuff, not shredded cheese that is barely melted and now forms a hard mat on…

You assume he’s telling the truth. This douchebag was douchey enough to not only demand the “outrageous” tip be removed (note: if 20% looked “outrageous,” it was probably a pretty hefty bill. i.e. you can afford it, buddy.), but then to go write to some columnist to brag about stiffing a waiter. The pretentiousness…

I read that title as “Taming the Racoon” (I blame the Skyline Chili thread), which sounds like an even more awesome book.

“This right here is why we need BCO for Retail.”

I don’t do “usual percentage” on really small tabs like that myself, because I figure (especially for all-you-can-eat) that the server has to give me as much attention as if I’d ordered an expensive meal. So on an $11 tab I’d probably go at least 50%. More if I had a lot of refills, and definitely in a group. Every…

That’s okay, you won’t be missed.

I had a very wealthy older gentleman one time who was offended by the caper berries on his plate, insist that I eat one (presumably to see how horrible they were), and when I tried to politely refuse, stuffed one in my mouth while I was talking. I was 19. Apparently not old enough to deal with the situation, I spit it…

What a great thought by your MOH!

That’s how I treated my groomsmen; I bought us all matching watches and thanked them for being my friend for years.

That’s an awesome, personal, useful gift. You’re right, she is a gem.

Yes, the one rule that I tend to think Bride and Grooms need to remember is that a gift is NEVER REQUIRED. Do people tend to? Yes. Do people usually give two, one for the shower one for the wedding? Yes. BUT IT’S NOT REQUIRED!!!

Right? You are not technically required to do both....although by some of the comments here about people (not the commenters but the people whose wedding’s they were in) being upset after someone gave a shower gift and threw a party that there was no “wedding” gift....some folks clearly don’t know that.

Noo! You got her a shower gift that is more than enough! You do not have to get someone more than one present for the wedding! Your friend was super wrong to demand anything, much less in such a rude way.

I disagree. I think this bride _should_ confront her friend about the lack of gift, so that the bridesmaid has the opportunity to shit in a box and mail it to her, but that's just me.

I don’t think Fuzzy Orca was saying it’s actually possible to do the shoving of the tables and the bullshit that somehow gets 20 people in the space of ten. more that there are asshats out there who think that a waitress/floor staff is going to be able to just get a table from mythical table land (similar to ‘the…
