We had a similar policy at the Whole Foods I used to work at. We had to have managers check our bags every night before we left to "prevent theft."

It IS ridiculous. The problem is that we've reached this horrible impasse where you HAVE to qualify what you mean when you say "tipping culture is stupid," because there are a lot of people who use that as an excuse not to tip under the veneer of "I refuse to contribute to the system" — when all they're really doing…

Firing is kind of an odd punishment for someone there, honestly, especially if it's a first offense. Hell, I once told a customer who ordered a tuna steak well done that she was ruining a perfectly good piece of fish, got stiffed (of course I did, people who order tuna steak well done are shitheads), and I only got…

" they belong in a special level of hell where they have to spend eternity watching Mind of Mencia reruns"

That's it, I'm boycotting Kitchenette. This is over the line. No one deserves that.

It's not either-or.

Counterpoint: Why get so bent out of shape that someone is trying to improve the experience from "way less than perfect" to "less than perfect?"

If…

I can usually find a quip or a joke to make these things seem less threatening.

Anyone that blames the community for murder is obviously reacting with anger and being unreasonable. Guilt by association is bullshit. Only Elliot Rodger is responsible for killing people and anyone who thinks it's simple to dissect anonymous grandstanding on one of the Chan sites from a legitimate threat has…

Right! that's the part of the Second Amendment everyone ignores!

Ugh. UGH. This is the worst thing to happen to my sweet tooth.

I hate this. I was just thinking about going to buy some pear & root beer Jelly Bellys. I am so sad now because my conscience will not allow me to have them.

If you haven't already, you HAVE to read the 11-point press release from the Malawi president to Madonna. It's amazing.

This reminds me of the time Bill Frist denied diagnosing Terry Schiavo via the 24 hour news networks.

I have a close friend who's recently decided she wants to make a living as a mommy blogger. I think it's an interesting extension of the huge issue of childcare that America refuses to address: we now have all these college-educated women often stuck between wanting to raise their kids (and not wanting to/can't…

exactly, he said he would stand up for family values, not value his family.
