What the fuck is going on here? This place looks like a real web site. What the hell happened? There's no weird pictures on the background. Things look organized.
Uncharacteristically industrious for a bunch of lazy commie slacker hippies.
Actually, I've worked in restaurants since I've been 14 (corporate and private; family, upscale and college dining) and I've never seen anyone do anything that affects the sanitary level of a guest's food out of anger. But perhaps I just choose the right establishments to work in?
I am pretty sure that abrakapokus said she worked with people that would do it. If I remember right, she said she was more of a fan of "Oh, you want to be an ass? Well, you better make that drink last because I am never coming back to your table until I drop a check on it." style of revenge.
Nah, the only time I saw a cook fuck with someone's food it was our manager's food who was a major bitch. If I have crappy customers and/or nontippers who repeat my section I've just went by enough to take the order, serve the food, and drop the check. That means no refills, I don't care how much you stare at me and go ahead and complain to mgmt. They will act like they care but they would rather you bitch at them than me.
That's most definitely NOT a Bud Light. I don't drink that garbage!
....it's a Miller Lite!
They brew Miller Lite in the depths of Wrigley field. They just funnel all the urine in the stadium on game days into the brewery and re-bottle it on-site.

Yeah Miller Lite is pretty awful. I mean, just drink water and down a shot or two of Nyquil(TM) if you need the buzz and don't want to drink actual beer.
If they play loud enough, I might be able to hear it from LP during the Redskins-Titans preseason game.
Implying that LP Field is loud. Ghost town the last game I went to.
Ha, trust me I wasn't implying that at all. Just hoping for a distant soundtrack that will drown out Phil Vassar. That being said, given the forecast for tonight, there is a chance I may just watch the game at home on tv. HTTR.
Why does my grocery store always put their worst cashiers on the express lane?
When I worked in a grocery store (WEGMANS to be specific) only the best ones could go on express. They tracked how many items per minute you scan and posted your "scores" and the top scoring were put on express.

I usually go through the self checkouts if I can because bagging groceries is apparently super complicated for some people (bread and raw chicken shouldn't go in the same bag. ever.), but I went to the express lane a lot when I had to pick up cigarettes on the way home. I noticed the other day that the same two cashiers are usually behind the express counter. One is overly chatty and will talk to customers after their order is done in an apparent effort to be nice. The other is easily confused and will lock up when presented with something out of the norm, i.e. the other day, a woman and her daughter had two separate orders that came out of the same cart. I can understand the idea that adding 10% to the time spent on the express lane is going to be significantly less than 10% added to a regular lane, but people go to the express lane because it is... express, so yeah, it would make much more sense if you had the fastest people on that lane.

I am OCD when it comes to packing bags. I would rather do it myself as well. When I put my stuff on the counter I categorize by boxes, cans, cold, frozen, and non-food items. Meat is always last so they have no choice but to bag it on it's own. The first thing a cashier should learn is to bag meat on it's own! WTF!
Sidenote: When I moved to NE, my mind was blown when I saw that the cashiers at Stop and Shop simply scanned the groceries and left it to the customer to bag them.

We don't have those here, but ALDI does the same thing. They just scan stuff and put it in another cart leaving you to organize it however you want.

My first job was a Wegmans cashier, and I do exactly the same thing!
Stumbled into a big stack of awesome at the 2nd and Charles down the road (don't know where to post this, I'm just really happy with my findings)... picked up the first two collections of Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing, and TPB book 2 of Sandman, all for about 20 bucks together. I'm particularly happy because I've been wanting to read this Swamp Thing run for almost half my life, but never wanted to sped $20 per TPB or spend 5-10 per back issue. This place is quickly becoming one of my favorite stores I've ever been to.
I do self-checkout because I prefer not having people do something for me that I can do myself. Also, I put as many groceries in the least amount of bags as possible- including bread on top of meat (though I rarely buy bread)! In fact, I think those match the best to put in one bag. All that being said, I did do a short stint as a cashier at an IGA in high school. I didn't do much bagging but I always made sure meat was in its own bag, cleaning products were in their own bag...
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Full disclosure: I also like to do self check-out because it means there will be one less person I have to talk to during the day.

That Alan Moore run on Swamp Thing is some of the best comics' writing ever. Not quite as good as the Sandman though - nice selections.
