I said reductive because it’s eaten all over the world. It’s also considered a Jewish dish and a Somali dish, and there’s this Kuwaiti restaurant I go to that makes it.

Don’t all athletes have natural advantages?  How come this particular athlete isn’t allowed to have a natural advantage?

Calling this a Moroccan dish is a bit reductive, and maybe not quite accurate

I worked at a Moroccan restaurant where we made it without eggs but it wasn’t great

The more wealth, status, and power you have, the more desperate you are to justify said wealth, status, and power

oh, I would never advertise that.  But I’m saying that a lot of places that do, and I do mean A LOT, aren’t really being honest

Honestly it’s not worth eating pizza WITHOUT pineapple

Is this the equivalent of the woman who likes traveling, the outdoors, and dogs? And the Office. That was a big one.

Well, if you have an allergy to the point where one molecule too many may hurt you, yeah, it’s extraordinarily difficult to prevent cross-contamination.

You said your favorite bands were The Smiths and The Cure.

Separate prep areas?  You have unrealistic expectations

I worked for a place that offered gluten-free crepes but we had to make them live, mixing up fresh batter every time (we didn’t get much traffic).

Yeah... if you think there’s room for everybody to get a 50k a year job you don’t have a clue

It’s because we’re taking these wages out of a company’s profits, so companies raise their prices to compensate.

15 dollars an hour is nothing. I say this as somebody who lives with very cheap rent and eats for free. I’m glad I make at least 20 dollars an hour. It’s what allows me to actually, you know, live.

uPlay is still an unholy cancer

Can the customer learn to wait a damn minute?

There’s a space for customers. Stay in that space.

I hate to say it but Americans are suckers for forcing people to smile at them.  Everybody has such policies.  A lot of companies will take it to the next level and will have employees engage the customer.  Trader Joe’s, for example

You don’t tip 20% because you’re a greedy bag of shit who can’t recognize his own privilege.  But hey, go ahead and tell me that I deserve to be poor.
