Someone with better Photoshop skills than myself needs to make that Shithead Customer Bingo card. Claiming to be gluten-free and ordering bread, color allergies, and so many, many, many others...

I sent in a tip, and it has been published! Can I please become un-greyed now?

There’s enough of her so that you can bet, somewhere out there right now, a couple kids are responding to their friends’ snap chats with, “Yeah, that’s my mom,” and, “No, I totally eat green peppers. WTF?”

My only regret was that she wasn’t carrying a huge red Slurpee. Or hot coffee.

I am getting so sick of the whole “This is America, speak English” bullshit from these people. Especially when you walk into a presumably ethnic restaurant and then proceed to put your xenophobia on full display.

It’s depressing that even this mild, self-inflicted punishment is so cathartic. I’m glad she made an ass of herself, but in my ideal world another customer would have upended a gallon jug of salsa over her head and explained to her kids that they should never emulate their mother.

Knowing the story behind the name, I would be a little bit suspicious that the delicious looking food in the pictures is a trap to lure people to their deaths. Its still working though, I want that food.

If I had made more than minimum wage at Burger King, I would’ve ordered more value meals instead of from the value menu (because you still have to pay half price, and no discounts on pickin chicken Monday or whopper Wednesday)

It is like that quote from _Hello Dolly_ (and I maybe revealing all sort of odd things about myself with this...but), “Money is, pardon the expression, like manure. It is no good unless you spread it around, encouraging young things to grow.” Like, oh, the economy, maybe.

I swear the people and their minimum wage bullshit- like this gem “If you don’t want to make minimum wage then don’t settle for minimum education and minimum effort” Hey. Fuck you! I have an Associate’s Degree and a Bachelor’s degree- I am working in the kitchen in a long term care facility as cook’s help. Eventually…

I can definitely confirm their food IS delicious. Several of the higher end restaurants here in Seattle paid their kitchen staff $15 or more for the last few years, but they rarely extended that minimum to the wait staff—for the obvious reasons. I’m no longer bartending, but I’m glad the $15 Now passed.

Everyone who gets paid minimum wage would get the minimum wage hike. Everyone who gets paid more than the current minimum wage, but less than the new minimum, would also get the new minimum (and if the only way those jobs were getting/keeping decent employees was by paying a little more than the old minimum, they’ll…

“Aspiring Nazgul” Is pretty much my favorite line ever.

The Walrus & the Holy Crap That Looks Tasty Where In Seattle Is This So I Can Eat There hits upon an interesting point. Paying employees better seems to me that it would be good business, as it signals to a clientele that cares about social justice that “this is one of the good ones.” Those folks are often willing to…

Is there any way Berman doesn’t have a monogrammed thermos?

Lobbyist-mercenary and aspiring Nazgul

I cannot wait to use “Aspiring Nazgul” in a sentence, specifically one directed at those who oppose raising the minimum wage. It’s astonishing that so many people can be ignorant of the fact that the minimum wage was intended to be (and was, for a while) a LIVING wage. This is the digital age. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers…

Regardless, if your business doesn’t make enough money to pay your employees a living wage, then it is not a very good business, and deserves to go broke.

More than once, the “relationship experts” said they paired these two up because of their attractiveness. Even after they began fighting, and he was immediately becoming incredibly vicious and ugly toward her during any confrontation, Dr. Pepper (yup, f’real) kept emphasizing her hope that they would work out because…
