This is an idiotic promotion. What percentage of Amazon customers haven't taken the easy, non-personal Gift Card present route considering that Amazon sells everything from leaf blowers to Radiohead mp3 albums? 5%? This is no different than CVS saying you'll get a $10 credit with a $50 purchase of toilet…

But all too expected.

I agree with your points and think our disagreement comes down to semantics. I'm aware of every point you mentioned and I sadly rested most of my case on that which I can't stand as a basis for an argument: anecdotal evidence. I lived in every neighborhood, MD, and VA during my thirteen years I DC get progressively…

I never said it was different than any other stadium deal.

Same old, same old for DC. After thirteen years in that stinking shit pile of a city I couldn't have been happier to leave. The electorate is apathetic, which leads to multiple Marion Barry/Kwame Brown/Vincent Gray corrupt dirtbags, which leads to nothing changing, which leads to more apathy.

I have no idea. It's so shocking considering she's the nicest person I know. I assume it's something along the line of what you suggested: one bad experience with a server stuck with her forever.

I never get these folks. They remade his fucking drink, apologized despite the fact that the guy was in the wrong, but he still needed "satisfaction." What exactly would that look like? A refund plus a gift card plus stock options?

I really feel for all the servers on here despite the fact I never worked in the restaurant business. Why? My step-grandmother. She is one of the most wonderful woman I've ever met and has been my model for kindness from as far back as I can remember. However, she metamorphoses as soon as she's seated in a…

Either that or they will be sued out of existence.

I did this to my cat with a MIDI of Can You Feel the Love Tonight blasting in the background. I had three parallel, six inch scratches on my forearm for two weeks.

1270. I don't remember the breakdown, but I distinctly remember it being a number so low that my "guidance" counselor essentially told me that my GPA, extracurriculars, etc. were not going to be good enough to get into any school I was interested in. I hated that fucker, but he was right.

That's exactly what they are paid to do: Gate Guard. As in stand next to a checkpoint and "keep and eye on things." They are no law enforcement. Some go out of their way to act like law enforcement, others act like this.

Is 15 really that bad? Granted it runs VERY long for a sporting event (which I why I think the players were laughing) and opera is wildly misplaced at sporting event in general, but she got all the words right and is technically more talented than anyone else on this list by a mile.

Officer trainee sponsored power hour sounds great. The eye test came as somewhat of a relief to me as I have the worst balance and have enough trouble standing on one leg without having to do it under pressure.

Also, was he coming from playing stand up bass at a Rev. Horton Heat inspired Blues Hammer show? What the fuck is that shirt?
