The way this week’s BCO made me feel in a nutshell:

The only help you need is directions to his home.

What is with people throwing things at the restaurant staff? How is that acceptable behavior? We need interventionists for people that reach adulthood without being reprimanded for still acting like children and served community service in a homeless shelter food line.

Also! I was dating a guy in college who was kind a…

My mother didn’t start acting horrible to servers until well into my parents’ marriage. She was a horrible person, but she hid it much better in public (and even at home, when my father was around) until I was about 10, at which point apparently she woke up one day and decided that no more fucks would be given. Dad…

I... I honestly can’t even tell which one is the worst this week and that horrifies me.

He handed me a $50 bill and shook his head, saying, “I’m so sorry. Three years ago she found out I banged her sister, who used to be a waitress, before we started dating. It’s been like this ever since.”

Yup. Go inside. When I was at one place, we got periodic large orders from our local nuns. They always called ahead then came inside to pick it up.

“About 10 minutes after she ordered, she came back to the counter (after cutting the line of 5 people or so) and asked me why her food wasn’t ready. I explained politely that the hummus plate included a made-to-order flat bread which had just gone in the oven, and it would be another 15 minutes before it was done.…

I used to work in a bank, we had another branch less than a quarter of a mile down the road. Pretty much all banks in the UK are only open 0900-1700 (if you are lucky, a lot of them close at 1600) in order to give the most coverage we opened at 0830 and closed at 1630, the other branch was open 0930-1730 so there was…

Only thing missing is, when the server brings out the lineless grilled chicken, the dad saying, with a smirk, “There, now *that* wasn’t so hard, was it?”

I understand the fact that Starbucks, by nature of serving so many people, is going to have many horrible customers. However, why must the employees deal with so much crap in a magnanimous manner. I just don’t understand why Brad is required to put up with so much crap from an obviously shitty customer. Why can’t…

Re: Gluing the tip jar down:

Where’s the part where she tipped you $50?

Never date or marry anyone who treats a restaurant server or bartender like shit. Words to live by.

Me reading Freddy’s story, start to finish:

The second story reminds me of one of my wife’s tales of waiting tables at Dead Lobster while in grad school.

Ha oh not even remotely.

What are you guys talking about? This video is super diverse. They had one black football player in it for a few seconds and they even twerked.

I say this as a blonde. That is WAY too many blondes in one place. A concentration like that does not happen naturally.

It looks like one big tampon commercial.
