This photo comes in handy yet again:

It's really not. It's acknowledgement that the cost of living has run totally off the rails, for both lower tiered hourly employees and those supposedly up the corporate ladder. We're all getting screwed.

Just because you don't get paid a fair wage where you work doesn't mean other people don't deserve a fair wage.
You should be wanting the place you work to pay you more, not McDonalds to pay their employees less.

On the bright side, the senate Republicans might have just inadvertently started a nuclear stand off with Iran, so. At least we will all be dead soon?

Honestly, if corporations try this all the time, the words "Hail Mary play" come to mind. They don't think this'll work, they think it'll get them a temporary injunction stopping the wage increase. It says something that Wal-Mart looked at Seattle and didn't even bother trying a court press, and that's a company with…

"I will only accept that corporations are people when the State of Texas wrongfully executes one."

So let's all set a precedent of eating at places that are not McDonald's, instead. I mean...that is what they want, right? At least that's what this temper tantrum sounds like it's saying.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State…

If corporations are truly people, McDonald's is the guy who takes five ones on the table at the start of the meal, announces that it's the tip, and pockets one for every time the waiter's groveling is insufficient.

So did I. I also thought they were just describing someone dressed as him until a few comments made it clear that it was the actual Iron Sheik in the story being told. I'd let him take all the salad bar too if he showed up where I was working.

Maybe Skinny P was so stoned that he pixelated his own bong. I bet you didn't think of that.

Stay strong, Bacon-Croissant guy. Some day you will get the breakfast sandwich of your dreams.

And THAT is why I never sit next to anyone wearing a poncho. You just really never know what's going on under that thing. They could be peeing in a jar or they could be hosting an alien life form.

Hey Badger... BADGER! Yo! I think someone wants to order a salad.

I'm looking forward to next week's offerings when a guy writes in to tell the story of a breakfast place he went to every week that was ALWAYS out of bacon croissant sandwiches every time he went in.

Kanab is a very nice town, with a very nice hospital (I found this out after pulling a Homer Simpson down a rocky incline near the Grand Canyon - it's the nearest hospital to the North Rim at 2.5 hours away). DH managed to find edibles at a Chinese restaurant.

I have worked late-night fast food, and I can confirm this is nearly a job requirement.

No clear alcohol but there might be a buck in loose change in it.
