I mean you’re spring break in college that’s kind of the point

If reviewing a place is only your instinct when you are unhappy

I have a serious problem with online reviewers, particularly trusting negative reviews. Or rave reviews.

So like “The food made me ill but the restroom was clean enough to throw up in.”?

This. I ignore almost every one star review. On Amazon, if you find a one star review and look at the other reviews by the same person, they are all complaints. 

I try to write, and also look for, reviews that mention both the good and the bad. It’s rare that a restaurant fails at every single level.

Yeah, the wording provided sounds defensive. He could have just said, “Dude - we come here all the time - she’s our regular bartender.”

He totally has a thing for this bartender, and he doesn’t want to send his girlfriend’s radar up by giving her the 411 on why Katie isn’t “their” Katie anymore.

The problem is I invited some coworkers to go out one night to show off a favorite spot of mine.

It’s odd that he doesn’t want to tell his girlfriend the truth about an awkward interaction that was by no means his fault. It seems like maybe he has a thing for Katie? Otherwise, what’s the fucking secret?

Sleep with her. That usually makes things less award.

Katie should realize it was no big deal. If she doesn’t let it go after a few visits, maybe your coworker had a point all along.

Because it is what they wrote down that they expected to pay. Even if their math was wrong that is the amount they expected to see charged on their card. 

In my (somewhat extensive) experience in the service industry the most common rule was to take the Total line as the amount. This was the procedure regardless of whether it resulted in a lower or higher amount of tip, as the “tip” line has less legitimacy than the total amount. Presumably the customer is fine with

Its the exact same math just done in a different order. Doubling or multiplying by two is the same thing, and knocking off a zero is dividing by 10. So according to PEMDAS, you’ll get it the same results. 

Why do I want to bag my own groceries?

I am absolutely saying hes an idiot.

There are fewer better poster children for shitty automation than self-checkout. I have literally never, as in not one single time, successfully completed a checkout at a self-service station in a grocery store without having to call a human employee over. And it’s not because I’m an idiot. Or not entirely, anyway.

Self checkout is the greatest invention in retail. I don’t have to deal with people, I can bag my groceries in ways that make sense to me, and it is way faster. You can take my self checkout when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

Cops aint stupid. This is a charged case with the gay and black elements.

No doubt they put their best people on, tons of oversight, making sure they cannot be accused of being corrupt or racist or whatever. My guess is they put a black detective on lead.

You and I both know, first thing Jussie does as a defense is
