Joe Biden 2021

[Eskimohorn 5,644]

A desire to maintain respect for my friends and family is why I go out to eat with them as rarely as possible and never on Sundays.
I have a daughter-in-law who waggled her empty glass of iced tea to get the attention of a waitress once and I later asked my son if he might consider divorce. The grandchildren are beautiful sparks from a loving god, but I keep my eye on them. There's an ungrateful harridan hiding in there somewhere.

Would the DIL fake an injury in a car accident to get more cash (see bad commercial thread)?Also pics of DIL are not coming through.

Do you take the grandchildren out solo so that you can model respectful patronage? Children pick up so much through observation and adults modeling positive behavior.

I don't take them out for that reason, but just because that's what doting grandparents do when the parents want to take a break. Spoil the grandkids.

You want Chili's? Of course you do, so do I. It's not like we are in Houston, a city perhaps unmatched for variety and quality of places to go. By all means, Chili's it is. Of course you can order off the adult menu, what is this, Stalin's Russia?

I remember a co-worker telling me, in great detail, how sexy his daughter-in-law was. I was very young at the time, just starting. I worried that I would think like he did and would fantasize about my own sons' wives.

By the grace of god, they married beautiful women and nothing could interest me less than the thought of them naked.

After all, Salma Hayek is still around. What more does a man need?

Of course. My late mother absolutely loved spoiling our children. But she was also a wonderful example of treating others with kindness and respect. Man, we all miss her.

Blessed you are.

Her movie is coming out next month.

You can’t just accept the fake $20 bill that’s actually a church pamphlet and the praying for your Heathen soul without bitching! 

they ask why you aren’t at church, bc it’s Sunday. “But Karen, how would you be served if all the waitstaff went to church instead?”

This this this. Eleventy billion.

Because I know there are folks who need work and also folks who work that also need to eat I cannot say, "close the restaurants on Sunday" but were that to happen, you know the grievances would pile higher than the papal indulgences of the 1500s.

SERVE ME!

Nothing is more embarrassing and disgusting than people leaving the fake bills as tips. Now, if you want to leave a real $20 along with the fake $20, that would be a better way to open someone's heart and mind by leading with generosity before trying to be a missionary.

It would be like going to the Congo jungle to spread the gospel but instead of bringing water and food or shelter or clothes, you bring nothing of value at all and in fact you take from their limited resources and act like being there is a favor.

House GOP trying to blame Biden for high lumber and gas prices.

anyone with a speck of intelligence would know that gas prices are high due to the economy being restarted back up, gas switching to summer blends, and the hacker issue that shut things down a week or 2 ago.

high lumber prices existed during Trump.

I worked a whole bunch of Sundays and it did not matter where I worked. The early afternoon Christians easily tipped the least of anyone I ever ran across. I eventually said that Sunday was no longer a day I would work because I was at a point where I did not want to miss church anymore myself. Thankfully I had an employer that did not argue with me not working that day. I will say that Sunday Christians were pretty high on the list of people that servers actively tried to avoid having to wait on. It is counterintuitive to come in and talk to a server about God and then leave a miniscule tip because the rest of your money apparently went to the offering plate.

The more outwardly/visible “Christian” you are, the less actually Christian you are. It’s a perfectly inverse relationship.

Isn’t it amazing that dozens of different people had independent experiences that showed them the same thing: “Christians” are the worst fucking people? And mind you, we were in the service industry, “awful fucking people” were the rule....yet “Christians” stood out.

Eye opener time: “Christians” are vile, acidic shit-spewing assholes 7 days a week. 52 weeks a year. But it’s CONCENTRATED acidic shit on Sundays, when they gather together and feed on each other’s hypocrisy.

Actually, it's worse than that. 

They gather at restaurants as a part of the Sabbath rest their belief system requires. 

So, it's both on purpose and in conflict with their Biblical teaching.

As a back of the house person, it was a triple whammy: usually Sundays were when we had to pull the ranges and coolers for cleaning. Brunch in general is cook your leftover not quite rotten produce and proteins day, which also sucks.  And the tips were garbage and the clientele awful, which meant FOH was usually in a bad mood and disinclined to give up ass after shift. The only good thing about it was Monday closure. 
 

Just terrible all around. 

Edited May 26, 2021 by Bateshorn

[bad_teammate 13,226]

Perhaps that is Chick-Fil-A's true reason for being closed on Sunday.

[wildcat09 29,447]

They were some of the worst tippers, but that was typically one of the after church crowd’s least shitty qualities. I lost track of how many times I was angrily berated for not serving alcohol because it wasn’t noon yet.

[SmokeyTheBear 5,569]

What do you guys want? They absolved themselves from their sins. That makes them hungry and makes a need to build up that list of new sins to ask for forgiveness for.

But Sunday is the 1st day of the week and outside of Seventh Day Adventists, observing the Sabbath isn't a thing in Christianity. Sure some sects (primarily fundamentalist Calvanist offshoots) have some Sunday version of the Sabbath but the majority of Christianity doesn't observe Sunday as the Sabbath as described in the scripture you referenced.

They blame him for chicken sauce shortages too. There is literally nothing too stupid for that crowd. 

[jimmyjazz 46,352]

I don't know what different world @Anastasis lived in, but post-church Sunday lunch at a diner or fast food restaurant was a big thing where I grew up.  I don't think the church crowd (of which I was part) became particularly cheap on Sunday afternoons, I just think it was one of the most popular times to go out to eat.

[Anastasis 23,471]

Interesting data based on credit card transactions...tipping percentage by day of week and time.

[Fudge Nuggets 19,242]

Maybe all the people complaining about bad tips were shitty waiters?  Slocum’s razor and such. 

[wildcat09 29,447]

The Sunday brunch crowd and post church crowd aren’t one circle.

[fattyflattie 4,639]

Biden is boring af. Thank god. 
 

Fwiw, I’m traveling for last month or so and have been living on restaurant food. I’ve found shit in my food about 3 times this trip already. So while the waitstaff has been up and down, but overall OK, the cooks need some work.  

[Brisketexan 105,486]

This. If you’re someplace slinging mimosas and expensive egg dishes, you were serving a different demographic than the “Sunday fried chicken and mashed potatoes” crowd. They order cheap dishes, and then tip poorly on that tab.

The best crowd was the “drinking on a Saturday night and making bad decisions” crowd. Maybe not by percentages, but by volume. They’d run up big tabs.

[wildcat09 29,447]

The nerve of the post-church crowd trying to take credit for the tipping habits of the godless heathen brunchers. There's no low to which they won't stoop.

Our neck of the woods I suppose it depended upon the church but we usually went home for Sunday dinner, which was not really lunch because the meals were more substantial. Sometimes there was a church meal and my late mother helped out with those a lot plus the bake sales and what not. The President, Vice President and their families would have a good time at the church meals. The meals were friendly and low key and I learned a lot about what type of gelatin salads to never make again in my life and what ones are palatable and even good. This administration are good gelatin salad type of people. Even if it's not their thing, they would be kind to their hosts.

This is the first time I’ve heard of Christians as bad tippers. Not saying it isn’t possible, just that there’s different demographics known for that.
