Seagrams is definitely some nasty shit. New Amsterdam is pretty good. I’ve always been quite fond of Bombay Sapphire and Tanquery, but Hendrick’s is my absolute favorite gin.

I love a good sour Tom Collins, but gin and tonic is my summertime drink of choice. We used to find a good bottle of tonic, pour the right amount of gin into it, and take that bad boy out in the boat and bomb around on a Saturday afternoon.

That reminds me of the time I was shoe shopping with my taller cousin (I’m 5’1”, and she is 5’8”) so obviously I have smaller feet, like 6.5 at the time, and she was a size 8. We both send the employee back to grab us shoes in our respective size to try on. He comes back and hands me the boxes while saying, “whoa…

The problem with the whole “customer is always right” concept is that in far too many restaurants/retail outlets it leads to the very behavior we talk about in BCO all too often.

I once had my very first customer of the day pull that crap on me.

I for one give you a pass because that dick bag deserved to have to clean up several slushies worth of mess after that.

I want to frame this.

The entire bullshit concept of the customer always being right reinforces this crap behavior. The customer is always wrong when they behave like that. No. Fucking. Exceptions.

She was the sweetest dog. I still miss her like crazy.

My husband had a lab mix when met him, and she did the same thing in the snow.

I’ve actually had a couple request two tables so they could each sit alone, shout across the aisle to each other as they ate, and both use a coupon.

Where in the South have you ever heard anyone use “chips and dip” to refer to chips and salsa? I’m only curious because I grew up in North Georgia and have never encountered that.

I have a friend I could see punching herself in the face while drunk. We were once helping her get out of her van when she feel back into three times.

I am so happy to learn that I am not the only person who has ever given themselves a black eye. Mine was trying to dislodge Christmas tree lights from a branch.

I used to love the paper bags when I still lived in Wisconsin and had a wood burning furnace for heat. Now I love the reusable bags because you can fit so much in them. The only objection I’ve ever heard is that they can hold bacteria, but washing is a solution for that.

I really hate plastic bags for my groceries because you end up with too many bags because they can’t hold as much.

Having read about way too many managers who were like him about sexual harassment and never took their employees’ side against crappy customers I am just glad he wasn’t worse.

I can’t even imagine needing that much of any condiment.

I can’t believe how attached people are to plastic bags. I only ever get them when the bagger insists on putting meat into them, and I do use them as trash bags for the bathroom. If my area were to enact a ban I wouldn’t be upset I would just find another solution.

This was back in 2002 and Starbucks had figured out how much money they were losing from all the extra caramel everyone wanted so he was adamant about us charging extra. He was also quite good about backing us up when a customer was clearly in the wrong. The only problem was that he didn’t know the difference between…
