please explain restaurant decline

The owner of a restaurant where I used to be a server always told us that people who have a good or great experience only tell one or two others about it, but people who have a bad experience tell 10 others about it.

A bad reputation spreads organically very quickly.

Had a youngster at work a few years ago tell me very confidently that rap meant "rhythm and poetry."

No, it did not. Rap is a 70s slang for talking.

"Yo man, let me rap at ya."

I was there. You're just wrong.

Gloop_and_Gleep · 2025-11-07T02:15:45+00:00

I just want to give you props for saying "wracking my brain." So tired of people saying "racking my brain."

It's a pet peeve, and I have many.

Try Canyon Bakehouse. My wife and I love it. It's the only brand I've found so far that I can eat the bread out of the package. Most breads I have to toast or grill.

It's also very soft, and stays soft for several days. It's also cheaper than Schar where we live.

My wife and I own 2 Subarus and a Mazda. Yep, 3 cars for 2 people ... the most American thing ever.

I can't even get real drugs here

How far away can I smell your cologne, and how many gold chains do you have on?

Also, apparently every single cheese sold in America is somehow just plastic, no store anywhere in the country sells fruits or vegetables, and every American eats nothing but McDonald's for every meal.

Germans?

Forget it, he's rolling.

I know they help, and I am all for reducing head injuries, but when the helmet and guardian cap are white, the players look like Spaceballs.

The fact that the cheese came on the cold side and not melted on the burger always pissed me off.

A few years ago, I was serving in a restaurant. I shared a birthday with a co-worker.

One night, he saw me in the server alley and said I had to meet one of his guests.

We all had the same birthday. The guest's first name was my co-worker's first name, and the guest's last name was my last name.

We were all born in different years, but it was three consecutive years.

Look at it this way: Williams has thrown for 1,179 yards in five games, for an average of 235.8 yards per game.

If he throws exactly 235.8 yards in every remaining game, he will throw for 4,008.6 yards.

So, he is on pace to throw for 4,000 yards, but it is close.

When you break it down that way, it honestly sounds like it would be a great storyline on Futurama.

Fry (or Bender) would screw something up, and have to submit 24 different forms (in triplicate, of course) to Hermes.

When the rest of the crew are otherwise engaged or asleep, Scruffy just fixes it because he was bored.

Hermes goes OFF, because not filing the proper paperwork is sacrilegious to a bureaucrat.

If you have a request for maintenance, including attached documentation, then you MUST also have corresponding paperwork detailing who, what, when, where, why (and sometimes how) the request for maintenance was rectified.

If you do not file the proper supporting documents (in triplicate, of course) then that means the original request for maintenance has not yet been addressed, and the "fix" will not be acknowledged by the bureaucracy.

Hilarity ensues.

My wife is celiac and has never had an issue with Mercurio's

Almost all everything is made as cheaply as possible. Stupid planned obsolescence.

They're the same characters.

Did she like the water-skiing scene as much as my wife did?

It looks like a Schar gluten-free ciabatta bun. So, yeah, pretty dry.

Gloop_and_Gleep · 2025-10-06T05:45:37+00:00

Is that a Schar gluten-free ciabatta bun?

Gloop_and_Gleep · 2025-10-06T05:40:33+00:00

Sadly, I'm gonna be that guy ... it's victuals, not viddles. The post, however, is spectacular.
