    Eatin breakfast at work

    Texting! Whenever I see that face buried in a phone with those fingers a goin I want to slap the effing thing out of their hand and stomp on it, my employee, your employee, no one's employee. And what about customers who answer their phone or text while talking to you? Not much that you can do...

    Eatin breakfast at work

    In some states that may come back to bite you. The employees can SAY all they want at the time, that it doesn't bother them, etc, but in some states there are very specific laws about how often they must be allowed to take breaks per so many hours worked. The break can be unpaid, but absolutely...

    How much do you tip?

    I agree that it's rude and pretty inconsiderate for customers to hang around so long under the circumstances that you explain, but if you are worried about running into inconsiderate people, being in a service industry is the last place for you. Your wife knew the rules when she took the job...

    How much do you tip?

    I start to feel bad when I hear stories about how poorly waitresses are paid and how hard they work, etc, and then I hear something like this, and it makes me never want to tip again. Hello, that is often WHY people go out to eat in the first place, to relax and enjoy themselves, and dog forbid...

    I met a true outlaw yesterday

    In my experience most people who complain about the price of services have never been in business for themselves. They just don't understand the costs involved. All they care about is how cheaply they can get it for, despite how much they'll insist that they want quality. Sometimes, for those...

    Spreading Grandpa's Ashes . . . .

    Very nice. Whoever raised that kid needs to print up the instructions and staple them to every light pole in the inner city. Maybe they'll learn what life is all about.

    I'm being a jerk

    I've done it both ways too, but more and more I'm inclined to just set my price and hold to it. I've had them say to me too that they won't buy from anyone who won't dicker. That's perfectly fine with me, it saves us both some frustration. Some people like the game, on both sides. Not me...

    Debate is finally settled.

    Not necessarily. I don't know any of the details, but there is some sort of fairly substantial tax benefits in CA for agricultural land which is being "actively" farmed. In some of the wealthiest communities surrounding San Diego the land owners plant the entire property with oranges, except for...

    Milkmaid

    While I usually respect your opinions, in this case your affection for your pets is clouding your judgement. There may be some fools here, but they are far from the majority. At Family Cow it is pretty much a requirement for membership.

    Milkmaid

    Right on. Nothing but morons, imbeciles and mental defectives, apparently with one exception. The extent of their emotional retardation is boundless. They're too stupid to live, and don't deserve the energy needed to type out an answer to one of their hysterical dramas, let alone the wisdom and...

    mouseover is the bomb

    Yes, now if we only had a like feature it would be almost perfect.

    A little disappointed at the fair board...

    4h has been going this way for the last 15 or 20 years or so. It's all about fun and games, giggles and emotions. No one is ever supposed to come away thinking that they should or could have done better. In many places they actually do give every child a ribbon just for showing up. The kid who...

    Kidding time!

    You like to live dangerously with those lights where an adult doe can get to them. My dairy kids go in a box in the house until dry, then out into the barn. No lights, no mother, no problem.

    Man killed by Longhorn!

    There is that. Still trying to give the benefit of the doubt since there's not a lot of specific information. Or not. Depending on who is reading and how they interpret it.

    Man killed by Longhorn!

    Um, that is what I wrote genius. Up your meds, or your reading glasses prescription, or put down the bottle... something.

    Man killed by Longhorn!

    Very sad. There is no indication yet that this was a case of a stupid owner making a pet out of a bull. If it was I sure wish that it would be made public, as a warning to all of the idiots out there who do that sort of thing, but until then I feel sorry for everyone involved. Some of us are...

    That Was Funny!

    Actually, she is, who also happens to work as an EMT. It is obvious which of her positions is most closely aligned with her true self. Professionalism is not always defined by the career. I've known mail clerks with more professionalism than some lawyers, but thankfully most professionals do...

    That Was Funny!

    I hope that she keeps her promise. This is the kind of thing that sometimes goes viral and makes poor decision makers regret their choices. What town does she live in? Let's see if the taxpayers there who all love her find it as funny as she does.

    Or just leave it. Everyone knows that it was just a mistake. No big deal.

    That Was Funny!

    Maybe next time she should just stick to carrying around an air horn down at the Sack O Suds and sneak up behind all of the shoplifters, embezzlers and lazy employees, thereby doing a real public service and leaving the inconsiderate drivers to the police.
