Finally scored a job last week after months and months of not hearing a
word back from turning in applications. I work at a place that makes subs,
pizzas, and salads. I make the food (!!!) and make $6.35--not a bad
starting pay at all, if I do say so myself. Shoot, as a supervisor at
Spencer's I only made 15 cents more than that! Anyways, I am basically
away from the customers (thank God) and I quite like that :-)

I am all for tipping where tipping is due. However, it seems like we have
to tip anywhere we go, no matter what the case. Oh, so now we have to tip
baristas (who make above minimum wage) who make our coffee. Or, if someone
pumps the gas--tip them, too! Or, hey, tip your piercer and tattoo artist
because you just KNOW they survive on tips (the place I get mine done at,
the tattoo artists recieve 50% of price of the tattoo they do)! Or, wait!
Remember to tip your hairdresser or manicurist $5 for a "job well done!"

You know, this tipping craze has gone too far. Sure, I agree that you
should tip for when you recieve good service. Hey, I was a waitress, and
understand that some people rely solely upon tips. However, I don't think
it's necessary to tip every. single. person. that provides you with a
service. Do you tip the cashier at the fast food place? Do you tip the
concession worker at the movie theater? Should we tip the cashier at
Target for being quick and nice?

... restaurants do not list the prices of alcohol on their menus. What's
the point? I am poor enough as it is and I really don't feel like paying a
million dollars for a Long Island iced tea. Sure, I can always ask what
the prices are, but it would be VERY effective if restaurants could list
the prices of their alcohol.

The end.

If you are so offended by what you read it is very easy to JUST NOT READ
IT.

It amazes me how the simple things seem to escape people.

If you know there is someone you dont like then dont read their responses.
If you dont like the comments that are being posted then dont read them.

Since no one is forcing you to use the site or read them posts then I dont
understand what you are complaining about.

You HAVE to go to work. You dont HAVE to click into PFB. All you do is
complain around here anyway so I dont get why you keep putting yourself
through that.

You know, I just LOVE the people on this site that flip out when someone
uses race as a descriptive term. I mean, are we really this politcally
correct that one has to describe a person using everything else but his or
her race? I don't see the big deal and it is pathetic that some people
think that people who use race to describe a person are racist. Racist?
When you start calling someone hurtful names such as that, even over the
internet, it becomes personal to an extent. Sure, I don't know you, but
you don't know ME. It is silly to assume something that harsh over a
complete description of a person. Do we not have more important things to
worry about than someone pointing out "OMG, you said she was Asian, are you
a racist?"

What a sad, sad world, well, website :)

So, I was reading one of the letters in the communities section about a
woman dining alone at a restaurant. She described three servers, one of
which was a "heavy-set black girl." Her complaint was valid; not one
server talked to her while she sat there for 15 minutes.

Yet, not ONE commenter got on the OP's ass for calling the server a
"heavy-set black girl." Yet, I get flack for calling the cashier in my
only letter a "black female?" That makes no sense.

I smell a little bit of hypocrisy on this site.

Ah, so this is how I get this blogger thing; I was wondering how.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Courtney and from Virginia. I am a
college senior, and already have an A.S in Social Science which I am VERY
proud of. Education is important to me. Regardless, I am clueless about
what I want to be when I grow up, LOL. Somehow, I really want to join the
FBI or CIA. Yeah, I don't know.

I have 10 tattoos that I have a love/hate relationship with. Sometimes I
regret the ones on my arms. People nowadays have balls! I've been called
CRAZY by strangers because, OH MY LORD, I have star outlines on my arms.
No f'in way! A chick with such prominent tattoos? Get out of town!

I love music. It's my passion. Granted I can't play any instruments or
carry a tune, but I love music. I love lyrics. I love how people have the
ability to put certain words alongside each other. It's genius.

I'm out.
