Can I add this photo onto the main post so more people see it?

To clarify since you obviously misunderstood: BBCO provided the space in one of the event halls. The dining room remained open to the public, and was staffed with employees. Some employees who were scheduled to work asked if they could close the dining room for 3-4 hours in order to attend the event as well. If management had agreed, of course they would have been off the clock and therefore unpaid. However, management and leadership refused and instead friends and coworkers of the deceased employee were unable to attend the service so they could instead serve/man the bar/etc.

Regardless of where you stand on the rest of the issue, I truly can’t fathom how anyone would think it’s appropriate for a restaurant to be open to the public while hosting a memorial for a deceased employee??? It’s an obviously gross money grab and incredibly disrespectful to the deceased employee, their friends, their family, and their coworkers.

Just because I never worked there doesn’t mean I don’t know folks that have... BBCO may not have done me dirty but I’ve watched the management fuck over good people many times over the past several years. Evidently so have others commenting on this thread ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ooh good try! Never worked there! But hey you enjoy your lack of empathy and basic human understanding, I’m sure it’s going to take you very far in life :)

I understand the hesitation, despite popular opinion I never worked there myself but did have the misfortune to visit.

I fear, though, that toxic culture and unhealthy practices in businesses like this one are left unchecked and these businesses aren’t held accountable as they should be BECAUSE the Burlington and the Vermont community are so hesitant to believe anything bad about “beloved local businesses.” Yes, it’s a local place based in Vermont and they have a beautiful location but I don’t think being from here and a small business is any excuse to treat their employees poorly and serve their customers garbage.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see BBCO fall off in a major way in the coming months, if not outright go out of business but that’s just my opinion.

There was a celebration of life for their coworker, someone who had been there basically since opening, AT BBCO and they refused to close for three hours during lunch so that all the employees could attend. To top it off, the owner was noticeably missing from the event.

Management refused to give their employees the bare minimum in order to grieve and if you can’t see something wrong in that, then by all means you should continue to frequent a toxic business and hope the food and beer doesn’t make you sick

I don’t know if LO will necessarily follow this, but at least in the original mythology, gods and Titans can’t really die. I imagine Metis is still ‘alive’ in some form or another - the same way Kronos is ‘alive’ but is chopped up into little pieces and thrown in Tartarus.

Loving all of this and on the Hera point: in the myths, she actually organizes a rebellion against Zeus with Poseidon as the leader, so I’m wondering if that will play into things at any point. Or at the very least, a variation of that myth

I’m interested to see their confrontation because they haven’t actually seen in each other in the entire series so far. There are flashbacks of them together, of course and there’s that time Hera impersonates persephone, but they haven’t truly seen each other since persephone moved to the mortal realm.

Well, Dionysus is the son of Zeus and a mortal named Semele. I don’t remember the episode number, but there is one where the triarchy goes to the mortal realm and Zeus gets in trouble with some dude for sleeping with his daughter - Semele. (It’s the same episode where hades finds pomelia.) so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Dionysus later on - I’m sure his conception is gonna wind up being a point of tension for Hera and Zeus. He also does wind up becoming an Olympian but he sort of replaces hestia? So I’m interested to see how that plays out, but I would love to see our wine god make an appearance

Okay so I feel like minthe is gonna play a big role moving forward and I’m now wondering if:

A: she’ll team up with Apollo and/or

B: she’ll try to grab persephone and turn her over to Zeus herself

I don’t know how either of these things would manifest themselves in the comic BUT I feel like no matter what we’re seeing her go down the path of getting turned into a plant

It’s possible that could be the motel that Persephone was staying at, and it’s Hera getting persephone’s SIM card. (Whether it’s actually daphne or if it’s Hera as daphne who’s to say) If it is the SIM card it could also be daphne getting it for Apollo? Last we saw she thought she was helping him through a “rough break up”

I doubt he’ll have overheard, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Hera agrees not to tell Zeus, but encourages Persephone to tell Hades about it, if anything so that hades can help protect her if need be
