You had to pay them money in order to qualify for a discount on more money paid to them for food. Also, if you refused to pay it (which I did), you were not allowed to drink soda, coffee, or tea from the restaurant, and you had to bring your own water container—you weren’t allowed to use the restaurant’s courtesy…

So does a gay couple have to notify the business owners before making every purchase to insure they are not offending its owners by trying to buy thier services or goods or does it just apply to the openly bigoted businesses?

Those awful LGBTs want rights, but then they’re hypocritically doing normal things like engaging in commerce! I too am appalled!

“What’s homo milk? Is this milk from GAY COWS?!” he demands, utterly* seriously, even angrily.

(Editor’s Note: You should hear what customers will do to the word “rotisserie.” I heard “rotissary,” “rosiary,” “rotisuwary,” and “rosary.” The last was doubly funny since I was working in a kosher deli)

The ingenious waitress’ name has been lost to history, but the Legend of The Waitress With The World’s Driest Sense Of Humor is still whispered to this very day.

The Reuben one reminded me of a story Terry Pratchett told. He said that one jet-lagged evening he accidently asked for Three Mile Island dressing for his salad. The waitress didn’t say a word, just brought him Thousand Island dressing and a bottle of hot sauce.

I mean, if you’re not going to swear at a dude who punches out a 78-year-old man, who the hell are you going to swear at?

Very fucking civilized of you to fucking apologize like that.

I am very fucking sorry you feel that way.

The only relative who would actually tell me to stop swearing would be my mother, and if she’s commenting, you’ll know, because she’ll specify it’s her.

+1 topicality

Why is Pinkham the only GM writer that gets these kinds of comments? I’m beginning to suspect a relative is involved.

Elder abuse is a real thing because people are shitty. I’ll be testifying at a felony elder abuse trial in November against my mother’s brother’s son (I don’t want to use “cousin” and I hate that we share a surname) because he stole $10,000.00 from her while she was recovering from emergency surgery to remove her…

Not at Gelsons in LA. I did that for awhile with this vegan butter (which actually WAS delicious) and trying to force people to taste some butter on bread was surprisingly hard. Like a four hour shift felt like a million years long.
