No, it only enabled and justified the actions of her father, insulating her from any help she may have otherwise had access to.

Absolutely, except that we can’t even get people to support a Canadian style healthcare system that benefits everyone. How hard will it be to get people on board with something that will only affect a certain population and looks enough like welfare to get people pissy?

I chose to take his last name because my own was a reminder of my father and it holds more meaning than my mother’s maiden name. Changing my name was not that big of a hassle, and the hardest part was going to social security for a new card.

I am currently working out my last week at my nightmare retail management job. Chronically understaffed, lack of leadership, unrealistic expectations, consistent shit talking between stores, infighting, sexual harassment, drug and alcohol use on premises, theft, and 90+ hour weeks. My boss is not a jackass; just…

With my curly hair, I can’t do the brushout part, but the shaking and letting it sit parts generally keep me from having white bits (I’m a dark brunette). Also, spraying directly at the roots in short bursts!

Yes, my ex wigged out.

Having a different viewpoint than me also does not insulate you from criticism, especially when your viewpoint tries to insinuate that the readers of this website are somehow hypocritical for not being offended by someone’s behavior that is not offensive or aggressive in nature.

It’s a fucking body part. If simply viewing someone’s naked body that is not being displayed in a predatory manner offends you, that sounds like a personal issue.

As a middle aged woman of 27, I’m just glad I have a few years left before my husband has to put me in a home...

There is a big difference between taking your dick out in a predatory sense and in a comedic sense. Believe it or not, some of us are capable of that nuanced thinking.

I love the concept of maxi dresses, but chub rub is a true struggle, y’all.

After a fellow store manager was maced and robbed at the bank night depository a few months ago, our home office allocated extra payroll so that no one would ever have to go to the bank alone. Our DM took over her store for a couple of days so that she could have time off to recover. At no point was it even discussed…

Putting someone at risk of being fired over your passive aggressive behavior makes you worthy of booger steak. But generally speaking, there is not a decent server alive that would do anything to your steak over a courteously stated complaint about your meal. Please do not go out to eat if you can't figure out how to…

There is a difference between causing a scene and asking for your correct order. If you refuse to send an order back, what the hell is she supposed to do?

The point of management is to field concerns in the moment. It is literally their job to fix mistakes made by the kitchen. In this situation, refusing to send the steak back sends the signal to the server that you are not that upset with the mistake, so of course she's not going to follow up. She's busy, and you…

You are correct. We wanted a Honeyfund type deal, but got talked out of it by our in laws. We then encouraged people to only give if the urge struck them - we got a $100 gift card to Williams Sonoma with which we purchased a salt/pepper grinder set and Star Wars pancake molds. We were... disappointed.

You were 100% right to put in that complaint. I think the point of this thread is to bitch about the people who complain for selfish reasons (free stuff, usually). People in customer service do make fun of customers, but to do so in that situation is awful. Good for you for standing up for someone who couldnt address…

Right back at you, for recognizing decent behavior! I'm in retail, not food service, but management morals should be the same across the board, IMO.

I have worked for vile, awful, lazy people. I refuse to be that person. Not a coincidence that my store is #1 in the district. Happy people are more productive! I don't know how bad managers can sleep at night.

It is, 100%, to keep people from complaining to corporate. See, what people don't realize is, you will totally get something free for complaining to corporate. However, I'd bet that the person you just complained about will lose their job over the complaint.
