ParticipantYeah, I heard about that too, arraya. Don’t know what to make of it. Not my line of work.
Our politics, and particularly the fake-patriotic GOP grandstanding, has become unacceptably divisive and disconnected from the reality on the ground. It is damaging the long-term interests of our country. A quiet, committed, effective and united foreign policy is in all of our interests.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=urbanrealtor]This is a comment regarding the original thread post.
If anyone thinks that insulting someone who serves them food is a good idea, I laugh at what stuff you have eaten in your life.
During college, I worked as a waiter. Make no mistake. The one who handles the food you put in your mouth has the ultimate control.
If someone gave me bad service I would give them 15% instead of 20% and mention it courteously and briefly. If it was terrible service, I would stiff them and then never eat there again.
If you think that going to a different server is a good enough measure, think again. Servers tend to party, drink, and sleep together. They certainly know which clients are pricks.
I recall one rude gentleman that thought it appropriate to lecture our staff on wine tasting and etiquette. He drank nothing but red Gallo cooking wine (in Chateauneuf-du-Pape bottles) for a year. He never knew about it but we got our revenge and usually a tip afterward.[/quote]
Yeah, and if you knew what goes on at some asian restaurants in the U.S…. Oh boy, don’t want to go there.
But regarding the original post, LOL…..
I hope that person never goes to the same restaurant again (for his/her sake).October 29, 2008 at 3:22 PM #295190CoronitaParticipant[quote=urbanrealtor]This is a comment regarding the original thread post.

ParticipantWow, a lot quoting going on. Also a lot of socialist talk from what I thought were level-headed piggs.
Here’s a thought. The Government collects nearly $3 Trillion in taxes each year, and yet they fail to make that profitable.
That’s pathetic, and raising taxes is a cop out of doing what needs to be done.
When a business becomes unprofitable it can’t simply raise costs arbitrarily without losing business. They have to cut costs.
How about a smaller, more efficient Government that can actually balance a budget WITHOUT raising taxes?
It doesn’t matter who ends up paying higher taxes, the NET effect will be negative: bigger Government, more welfare/socialism, more unemployment, less consumption, lower quality of life and so on.
It’s a self-destructive cycle that will only end with a smaller Government that can actually balance a budget.
