Yes, the article definitely does not accurately characterize what seems obvious on the video.  

What an eh-hole.

If the “Most Dangerous Car in America” isn’t

“How about you buy the vodka and I’ll throw in a mixer of your choice and a bag of chex mix for free?”

...except she’s getting paid while people are losing either valuable vacation time or valuable unpaid personal time.

The difference is that she is getting paid to be inconvenienced while everyone else paid for the pleasure.

If you don’t want to deal with annoyed customers, don’t take a job where your primary duty is dealing with customers in an industry where they are often annoyed.

Or the sky waitress can do what other wait staff in the world have to do and just placate and move on. 

No, this is like going to your job as a flight attendant, being delayed - as is common in your job, and dealing with people making shit jokes as part of your job. Because it’s your job.

The difference being she’s getting paid while the passengers are paying for the experience of not getting to their destination on time.

“but federal regulations forbid me from giving free alcohol for any reason”

Ageism my ass. I was a young person once and if present (old) me met past (young) me, present me would slap some goddamned sense into past me. It comes with the territory.

Don’t crack wise on the plane, not since 9/11. Yeah, flight attendants ought to be less tightly wound and power tripping, but they ain’t gonna be; ‘cause they got a taste for power. Moreover, not a single legislator is gonna put forward any bill to limit that power because their opponents will brand them as weak on…

I just had an an encounter not unlike this one. Only it was with a nurse, over the phone, trying to get my THREE DAY LATE chemo drug sent to the pharmacy. She is very young too, and I’m sick of these ‘children’ getting all ‘extra’ when they aren’t in complete control of a situation. They don’t know how to handle even…

I’m guessing there’s more to the story (there often is when someone is claiming to be victimized in a baffling manner by a company, but certainly not always), but I’m also guessing whatever the more to the story is doesn’t justify calling the cops and getting the guy thrown off the plane. 

This looks like something from Grand Theft Auto. The Joop Hummgler or something

I’m not going ga-ga over this, but it’s interesting & flows well, & at least makes more sense than the Hummer nose.

Well, it’s going to appeal to someone. And there’s no denying extra access to the engine bay isn’t a bad thing, though the presence of the tip-forward hood will add new complications that didn’t exist before.

Perhaps I did, but it doesn’t change my mind on this get-up.
I still have serious reservations about that engine being able to extend the range any usable amount while actually hauling something significant. Using some small displacement engine to regenerate the battery in a Prius isn’t nearly the same as needing to…

It’s not just the Takeout, this weird fear-mongering is everywhere. I’m sure drinking 6 energy drinks a day is really unhealthy, but so is drinking 96 oz of strong sugary coffee.
