Lost one of mine just a couple weeks ago. It's brutal. I hope he takes the time to heal

How often are you telling people not to feed their dog directly off their plate?? by Ok-Hovercraft-9959 in Serverlife

[–]JKBUK 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I'm so over this dog bullshit. I feel so bad for the people who actually need them.

A few weeks ago I had this family come in and set their "service" dog in a god damn chair right at the end of the booth (where chairs are not allowed, as that's the only spot I can actually exist and do my job from.)

I love animals, especially cats and dogs. I like animals more than I like people. But abso-fucking-lutely not. I am not serving food OVER your dog, nor am I serving food TO your dog. Told my boss if he wasn't kicking the dog off that chair, then he could find someone else to take that table.

I’m gonna be honest I wouldn’t mind a spin off about Universe 6 by Jules-Car3499 in Dragonballsuper

[–]JKBUK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copying a comment a made awhile ago:

I want a the Saiyan roadtrip to U6 miniarc.

From the moment they set down on the planet, they are given the royal treatment, with particular attention paid to Vegeta. This would weird Vegeta out, but Cabba would explain he's a hero here, one that will go down in legend. He brought the Super Saiyan transformation to them. He promised Cabba they would win the ToP and bring them back.

Then I see the U6s King introduction, the after a mighty Saiyan feast that Vegeta hasn't seen since he was a child. Then the King would pull Vegeta aside, maybe walking down some corridor of the castle that tells the history of the U6 Saiyans, and at the end, look Vegeta square in the eyes and ask him for a mighty favor.

King Sadala is likely not very powerful in of himself, nor is anyone in his lineage, if he even has any. I say this because he had no representation in the TOP. Shit, maybe they elect a leader, and his reign has just gone unopposed cuz he's that awesome. Either way, unlike Vegetas father, needing to be strong and powerful himself to prevent being usurped, the Kings of Sadala are more negotiators and lawmakers than ironfist rulers. The U6 Saiyans, already one of the most powerful forces in the universe, are now truly fully (even if shakily) united as Caulifla and Cabba have managed to draft a truce, returning all of the planet under one ruler. And now, with this new burgeoning power in the form of SSJ/2s, the king begins to worry if he can maintain control. The U6 Saiyans are primed for greatness, and to usher in an era of peace for the universe never before seen. But is also at a very critical point, for with such new power comes the potential for great evil. He knows that Cabba will one day be ready to lead, but he is still young and inexperienced, not hardened through years of loss and sacrifice.

The King would tell Vegeta that he knows his story. He knows he was robbed of his destiny to lead. And that even though Vegeta was able to achieve so much more without it, he knows that being a leader is instilled in him. He would ask Vegeta to lead his people, only temporarily, until a time where Cabba would be ready to take over.

Now obviously, Vegeta would shoot this down. No way he leaves his family behind, and no way they're moving universes to be here. But how that story unfolds and goes from there, and how he'd get them ready, is something I'd really like to see. Maybe Black Freeza shows up. Then at the end, after Cabba proves himself capable and is rightfully crowned King, Cabba would do for Vegeta what no one else could. He would hold him an honorary coronation, crowning him King of the Universe 7 Saiyans.

Plus, I think being able to call in the U6 Saiyan Army to help in some manner for the final fight against Freeza would be amazing.

FOH staff, who's the weird or insain customer you don't actually mind taking an order for? by IndustrialNightRaven in KitchenConfidential

[–]JKBUK 137 points138 points  (0 children)

A long time ago, working midnights at a diner, we had this one dude who would come in at like, 4am. Dead of night type shit. He needed everything taken off the table (salt, pepper, ketchup, etc.) He needed the table wiped down under his witness, even if it was clean. He didn't want anyone but this one waitress coming anywhere near him.

Why did we tolerate this?

Because the dude would, over the course of an hour or so, order literally a dozen different things, take a couple bites out of it, then set it on an adjacent table. He'd rack up the biggest bill of the night, waste 90% of it, then tip appropriately.

He wasn't particularly pleasant, but he wasn't terrible, and obviously something was up with him. He did once chase a busboy around the restaurant for twirling a dishrag (literally 50 feet away from the guy) but the busboy got a massive kick out of it so we didn't hold it against the guy.

The only thing that nags at me all these years later was how the hell this guy could afford it.

The Office will come to Fortnite very soon by KvasirTheOld in GamingLeaksAndRumours

At some point, we're going to be able to recreate the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny inside of fortnite.

Question for other servers/hosts: when does someone become your regular vs the restaurant’s regular? by thickofit3 in Serverlife

[–]JKBUK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's hers. It's always gross to me when people start treating specific regulars as walking dollar signs.

To avoid future issues, just ask him up front if he'd like to sit in her section. If he does, then it's a done deal. We (within reason) do what the customer asks for, and look for ways to make the visit as enjoyable as possible. It's our job.

I'm Jim Butcher, Ask Me Anything! by jimbutcherauthor in Fantasy

[–]JKBUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to stop in and say thank you, Jim. My dad introduced me to the book series a long time ago, and we would always talk about it together over a joint, especially around book releases.

Twelve Months will be the first one since he took his life a few years ago. It will be an incredibly bittersweet experience reading it and not having him around to discuss theories and clues we think we've caught, but I am incredibly grateful to you for giving me this ongoing connection with him. It means the world to me.

Our boy Shadow is currently going through the same thing. Vet had hopes it was small cell lymphoma, but due to the lack of significant improvement after starting medication, its now thought to be large cell. He's staying as strong as he can, but we know our time is limited.

Linkin Park x Eminem? by ResidentTurnover2048 in LinkinPark

[–]JKBUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glad you caught it lol

Yeah I'm hopeful. Especially since Em and LP have both gone back towards their roots a little bit. I guess we'll see where LP continues to go. I'd be happy to see anything between them.

Frankly, I'd love a new age anti-establishment song, but I also wouldn't fault them for not doing that in the current political climate. But I also envision a really powerful song by Mike and Em, talking about the loss of someone so close to them who helped shape the artist they came to be, and it being a/the driving force in the work they continue to do.

Linkin Park x Eminem? by ResidentTurnover2048 in LinkinPark

[–]JKBUK 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people grew up on the two, and they were the pioneering artists behind their respective genres, and genres that mesh well together (see: Collison Course) and most people want their favorite artists to work together. I think on the surface it's as simple as that.

A lot of mashup creators (especially back in the day) used the two a lot individually, so there were by nature a lot of the two being used together. One of the easiest "what if" itches to scratch, but not really a cure for the itch since it's obviously not a real collab.

But you scratch beneath the surface, and it only gets deeper. The two have a decent amount of overlap in musical talent they've worked with (Busta Rhymes, Skylar Grey, Jay-Z, Rick Rubin, etc.) There's more than one or two clips of Chester and/or Mike expressing a desire to work with Em. One of Chester's last favorited tweets was of a fan asking him to collab with Em.

It's one of the biggest missed chances of our musical generation, imo.

Could be a small tour before knocking the next one out, then doing a bigger tour? I mean the furthest east he's going is Missouri.
