In a nutshell, some woman pastor in St. Louis crossed out the auto 18% gratuity and wrote 0, along with saying "I tip God 10%, why should I give you more?". Some other waitress in the restaurant (not the one who served the pastor) took a picture and posted it online, admitted to doing so when questioned by management, and was fired for violating employee policy forbidding posting customer information (and just simply receipts for that matter) online.Quote:

The fact that she blatantly violated company and employee policy and straight up admitted to doing so, giving Applebee's grounds to fire her, apparently does not matter to the dumbshit masses.
Short summary: Pastor took issue with Applebee's adding an automatic 18% gratuity for a party of 8. Using "God only gets 10%" (paraphrase) as reasoning, the pastor crossed out the tax and only paid the bill. Waitress posted an image of the check on the Net. It predictably went viral. Applebee's fired the waitress. Internet predictably reacted.Quote:

Meh, fuck Applebees. Their food is shitty anyway. I haven't eaten there in probably 3 years and the last time I went it was because I was tired of everything else in the area I was in at the time that I was hungry and I regretted it immediately.
The Browns Colts one is hilarious, like Brown river of shit :D
Tampa Bay vs Redskins is what he does?! :smh:
A patent troll is trying to sue popular podcasts by claiming to have a patent on podcasting, issued in 2012.
What the hell is wrong with our patent system.
:fp: Always some stupid shit going on in this country when it comes to courts, lawyers, lawsuits and now patents.
i shipped a package to some guy named "junke wang" in illinois today. :D

Filed my last "W" taxes today. :nod: Although far from perfect, my wife and I have certainly missed you the past 4+ years and will DEFINITELY miss you this time next year when the tax man comes calling to redistribute our earned wealth. :smh:
:D
I'm calling it now. The term 'bullying' has officially jumped the shark. My 8 yr old daughter was called a bully by her teacher b/c she took a piece of candy off a table resulting in one of the kids being left out. WTF!!!?? Really!? Isn't that just a kid being a kid? It's not like she's beating someone up or doing something violent.
:smh:Quote:

Yeah man, that's fuckin' atrocious shit.
Actually, Deuce, you should tell that idiot teacher to stop bullying your daughter like that. Turn it around on her ass and see how she likes it. :nod:

Exactly what I should have done. I was nice b/c she's got my kid for another 4 months. I've been fuming all fucking day. I really wish I could have said what I wanted to...Quote:

Is there any way we can have a thread specifically dedicated to JeffHCross and CLW fighting it out to the death or until someone succumbs to the other persons political agenda?
Can we create a kickstarter to politely send Mors to Canada? Love you Mors but there should be a law limiting how many times you can say you hate America before you get booted out.
