When I was in college, I worked for a movie theatre. We ALWAYS found dirty diapers in the theatres. ALWAYS. Disgusting. Plus, you’re changing your child IN THE DARK. Good job, parent.

Watching Sham, a tremendous horse who would have been a triple crown contender any other year, in the Belmont is amazing. He ran with Secretariat for half the race, and got beat by 50 lengths. That is what happens to a normal horse when it tries to run at that pace for a mile and a half.

Telling us she’s your sister only makes it funnier/worse.

“Having a child doesn’t mean you have to stop living your life and limiting where you go...”

Actually, that’s exactly what it means. Having a child means changing your lifestyle significantly.

Yup. I used to work at Sears and people would leave their small kids to wander in the toy section, expecting us to keep an eye on them, like we didn’t have better things to do. I had a coworker who would always tell the parent(s) “John Walsh’s kid got kidnapped in a Sears!”

Because customers are generally the most disgusting people ever.

If any of you guys have not seen the movie “Waiting” (with Justin Long and Ryan Reynolds), it really sums up perfectly the restaurant business. Everything in that movie has happened to me when I waited tables during my teens/twenties. It’s not an exaggeration either. Everything.

When I worked at a craft beer/pizza joint a popular menu item was our calzones. These were huge, and made fresh to order and took a while to cook. Our menu made note of this and it was there in writing that it could take over half an hour depending on how busy we were.

*cant post her blues brothers gif. Sad face*

I’m just impressed those racist shits from Arkansas could correctly spell “KKK.”

Goddammit. I have to pay better attention. ‘Cause I had one for this column, too.

No. If he tries to stand up for the new guy—a guy he doesn’t even know—suddenly he’s going to be the one to get shit on. He doesn’t have any power in this scenario; he’s not a manager, he’s a low-rung employee barely above the guy who’s just been hired. Additionally, you don’t know how badly he needs the money that…

Pizza guy, there at the bottom? That guy is my fucking hero.

My assumption was that the bill was like $59.75 and the guy left 3 $20 bills. Or a similar cash situation.

i hope you are trolling. if not,you have no idea what anyone’s intellect or accomplishments are by their vocation. I have know very wealthy people who went back to doing service industry in whatever form because they enjoyed that form of work. my good friend was valedictorian had two college degrees and was working at…

While I appreciate your attempt to bring data into the discussion beyond anecdotes (I really do), the data you offer isn’t super compelling. The tipping data is based on tips given via Square only and doesn’t factor in things like international tourism or what service industries are represented. The enlistment map…

SHITTY TIPPING IS NOT A SYMPTOM OF MENTAL ILLNESS.

You forgot black people.

You’re right, tipping shouldn’t be a thing. Companies should just pay their employees a decent wage.

Let’s see, who are notoriously crappy tippers? Church folks, college kids, and military—you’ll notice the common thread is insular communities that tend to foster an “Us vs. Them” mentality. I totally believe Heflin’s assertion. I’m not necessarily a fan of how he handled it.
