Oh, there will still be commentaries. Speaking of which, let's do one soon Damnit!!! Gump is calling

Well, you wanted to do another one with Miss Vicky. You could get her and me for that. It's always fun to watch Forrest Gump with Miss Vicky.

[rauldc14]

She actually likes that? Didn't know that.

[Sexy Celebrity]

There's an infamous commentary I did with her for it where I deleted all my comments afterwards.

[Miss Vicky]

I am so not doing a Gump commentary if Sexy's involved.

[rauldc14]

Darn. Well there goes that idea.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Poor Jenny had to move into a trailer.......

[rauldc14]

Why were your comments deleted?

[rauldc14]

I still want to do an Alice in Wonderland commentary SC.

[Miss Vicky]

We got into an argument when he said that he felt that Jenny should've stayed with her (raping, no good) father because then she wouldn't have gotten AIDS.

[Sexy Celebrity]

She hated all the jokes I was making. She made me feel bad, so I just deleted everything. Same with that Casualties of War movie.

[rauldc14]

:facepalm:

[Miss Vicky]

Which I believe came after the Casualties of War commentary where he made excuses for the actions of the soldiers.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Well, after she moved out of her dad's place, her life just went to Hell. I mean, it already was Hell, but it just got worse and worse from there.

[rauldc14]

Maybe we need another controversial one then.

The Independence Day one was great. I really liked the Gladiator and State of Play one too. And Halloween. And Shawshank. And Hustle.

:lol:

[Sexy Celebrity]

I wish I hadn't deleted my comments for those movies, but on another hand, I'm okay with the fact that I did.

This guy I knew that was raping people for a decade finally got convicted, faces up to 70 years. And has more charges on trial next month.

This court case is absolutely bizarre! And BTW he is 100% guilty, do not doubt it.
Here is a summary of the bizarreness

-----

Before potential jurors were brought in, Poindexter asked Judge Richard E. Jordan that he be allowed to seek new representation, claiming that he was missing “mountains of evidence” that would help his defense. Poindexter also asserted that some evidence, including text messages and an audio recording of a conversation had been tampered with by police, and that his lawyers were not sufficiently concerned.

Jordan strongly disagreed, telling Poindexter he was receiving a defense of the “highest caliber” and that the opening statement given by Covington & Burling’s Alexander Berengaut was one of the best he’d ever seen in a criminal case.

“You understand,” the judge told Poindexter, “that as Abraham Lincoln said, ‘A person who represents himself has a fool for a client.’ Have you ever heard that phrase? There is a reason for that.”

“I’ve heard that,” Poindexter said.

Jordan warned Poindexter to behave himself in court, and not to roll his eyes, shake his head, or speak to himself in front of the jury. If he did, he might find himself excluded from the courtroom at his own trial, Jordan said, explaining that he would not have the trial become “a zoo.”"

And to make matters worse, all we got were more excuses, no apology, an attitude, and nasty comments from the manager. :furious:

Did you get her license plate number?

No, but I got her name, and the report was filed with their corporate office today. The person on the phone sounded shocked that one of their employees, especially a manager, acted that way. She said that I should get a call back from the district manager within 3 days.

Being in retail so long makes me feel this way more often than not. I put up with a lot because of it. Crappy customer service still exists though. You get something wrong I live with it as a mistake. You thumb your nose at getting it right the second time I get pissed. That seems like what happened with Goodies.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Whew! No one escapes the wrath of gbgoodies.

We finally got her to the table when we stood up in the middle of the restaurant and made a scene calling her over to the table.

Was this done in a sort of polite manner (thinking about the other customers and their experience) or was it like, "GET THE HELL OVER HERE, WOMAN! YEAH, YOU! WE SEE YOU!"

Sometimes you customers get a little unnecessarily psycho.

I think you did have a problem, but I also know that wherever you go, things better always be tip top.

[rauldc14]

Yeah I had to walk away from a customer about two weeks ago. They pissed me off and I told them I couldn't help them and walked away.

I don't hate the taste of onions. I don't eat them because they give me heartburn. I've tried a bunch of different pills, but nothing seems to help, so I just stopped eating onions.

[foster]

Have you tried Prelief ? eat it with the food to eliminate acidity.

i'm very sensitive, eat them with every meal.

[gbgoodies]

This is actually the second problem we've had with this manager. We had a problem once before when she tried to charge us extra for cheese on a sandwich that was listed on the menu as having cheese included, and when we brought it to the manager's attention, she told us that the menu was wrong, and she refused to honor the menu price.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Although, if the manager served a burger to someone who was deathly allergic to onions..............

[gbgoodies]

Restaurants screw up my food all the time, so I'm pretty much used to it. I understand that I'll have more than my fair share of problems because I'm a picky eater, but I try to avoid them by being very careful when I order, and making the server read the order back to me to make sure that they got it right.

The problem that the order was wrong wasn't the worst part. It was the way they handled it and made the situation worse that got me so mad.

[Swan]

Food. Serious business.

[gbgoodies]

I don't know. I hate to sound mean, but I feel the pain of that manager. He probably just had a lot of ridiculous customers and was getting sick of it.


Every customer should be treated with respect regardless of how bad the manager's day has been. There's no excuse for treating a customer the way we were treated.

A manager doesn't have to actually care about the customer's problem. They only have to appear that they care. Perception is 90% of reality.

How much is cheese? A dollar more at most? This is what kind of baffles me about this world, being pissed over a dollar.

It was basically, "WILL YOU PLEASE COME OVER HERE AND TAKE CARE OF OUR PROBLEM INSTEAD OF IGNORING US LIKE THAT?", but said very loudly from across the restaurant. (It got the manager's attention. :D )

[Sexy Celebrity]

How much is cheese? A dollar more at most? This is what kind of baffles me about this world, being pissed over a dollar.

I would be pissed if something said it was supposed to come with it and the manager lady said it was wrong. It is possible she's not being correct. I wouldn't have bought the cheese.

[Swan]

I would have just screamed SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT until she came over.

[gbgoodies]

Yeah I had to walk away from a customer about two weeks ago. They pissed me off and I told them I couldn't help them and walked away.


I worked retail for many years, and I've had those customers too. But there's a big difference between politely saying something like "I'm sorry, but there's not much I can do to help you", rather than making stupid excuses for incompetent employees and saying something like "This stuff happens all the time. Deal with it.".

[rauldc14]

Well perhaps. I don't know the actual situation from both sides so its hard to tell.

[gbgoodies]

I think that's too extreme for what happened.


You haven't dealt with this manager. She's a terrible manager, and she shouldn't be a manager.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I have never had a Smash Burger. I don't think they're around here.

[gbgoodies]

Have you tried Prelief ? eat it with the food to eliminate acidity.

i'm very sensitive, eat them with every meal.


I've tried just about everything, including consulting a doctor. If I had to guess, it may be some kind of an allergic reaction because nothing seems to help.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Psychological reaction. Psychosomatic. The onions represent something in your past that makes you unhappy.

It's not about the dollar. It's about the principle of not being charged for something that's supposed to be included in an advertised price.

[gbgoodies]

I have never had a Smash Burger. I don't think they're around here.


They're pretty new around here. They opened a couple of locations here within the last six months or so.

I like their burgers, and hubby likes their chicken.

[rauldc14]

It seems like you are mad about that fact and nothing would change your madness about it, which is what I disagree with. We are all human, and if something like that happened, I would simply say I'm sorry and would refund the charge to you. And hopefully that would suffice.

Well, in her story, she did mention the manager lady never even said, "I'm sorry." But I mean, people do forget to say, "I'm sorry."

[gbgoodies]

What does she look like? I just wanna know if she matches my mental image.


She was probably about 17-18 years old, (or at least she looked that young), about 5 feet tall, maybe a little bit less, black, and an attitude as big as the Empire State Building.

[rauldc14]

I have situations like this where I say I'm sorry and they still bitch after. But a lot of people around here want things for free after people make mistakes.

[gbgoodies]

Psychological reaction. Psychosomatic. The onions represent something in your past that makes you unhappy.


No, it's definitely real because I've gotten sick a few times when I ate food that I didn't know had onions in it, and I found out later what made me sick.

[Sexy Celebrity]

She was probably about 17-18 years old, (or at least she looked that young), about 5 feet tall, maybe a little bit less, black, and an attitude as big as the Empire State Building.

Are you black? Out of curiosity. I never imagined you as a black woman, but maybe you are.

I'm not mad about the initial problem. I'm mad about the way we were treated by the manager. She never apologized. She just made excuses. She didn't offer any kind of refund or any other suggestions. Basically she just said "Oops, It sucks to be you."

[gbgoodies]

I wish we could meet hubby. Tell him to make an account.


I've told him many times to make his own account, but he doesn't want to. He's not much of a chat board type of person.

[rauldc14]

But if she did and said she was sorry, would that have been good enough?

[Sexy Celebrity]

He has to have the username "Hubby" if he ever signs up.

They have a tasty looking menu -- this Smash Burgers.

[gbgoodies]

I have situations like this where I say I'm sorry and they still bitch after. But a lot of people around here want things for free after people make mistakes.


It's not about getting something for free. It's about the way we were treated. If she had at least apologized and said that she would talk to the employees involved to make sure that it didn't happen again, I would have been okay with that answer, but she didn't even do that. She basically left it wide open for the same problem to happen the next time, and she didn't even act like she cared.

[gbgoodies]

Are you black? Out of curiosity. I never imagined you as a black woman, but maybe you are.


No, I'm not black, but this is a very mixed race area.

Yes. I've had enough problems to know that mistakes happen. It's not about the mistake. It's about the way it was handled.

I've been in restaurants where they've actually had the person who caused the problem come to the table and apologize. This manager was rude and obnoxious, and she made it very clear that she didn't care that something went wrong. She shouldn't be in a business that deals with other people.

Basically if I go to a busy restaurant and they're only going to screw up one person's order, it's a guarantee that MY order will be the one that will be wrong.

I wonder why that is, though. I mean, you always seem to be finding yourself in trouble. Or, at least, finding people who are trouble. I feel like you could make a thread about all of these troubling stories. Even you and I had confrontations in those song tournament threads -- "YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST!!!!! I haven't had a chance to listen!!!!!!!!" That's why I decided that you have to run them now because I can't deal with running them and you're a participant.

[foster]

No, it's definitely real because I've gotten sick a few times when I ate food that I didn't know had onions in it, and I found out later what made me sick.

The GB in my username stands for the words Grab Bag. (Grab-Bag-Goodies) I first started this account name on eBay. It was supposed to be a selling account that would be anything that was different from the normal collectibles we sell, but we never used it for selling.

It was shortened to gbgoodies because one other site I sometimes post on didn't allow the dashes.

I'm not sure what I didn't answer, but I've tried a few different pills that you have to take 30-60 minutes before eating, and they didn't help.

Just don't bother with the pills. If the food doesn't work with you, the food doesn't work with you.

I have had enough picky eaters in my life to tell you that is always the case. No matter how many times you say it, or how slow you go. The cooks are just used to making things the way they come.

It's like you thrive on having problems. Some people are like that.


I think part of it is because my expectations are too high, and I expect people to do what they're supposed to do, and I don't just accept something if it's wrong.

I know a lot of people who will just eat the food without complaining if their order comes out wrong, but I won't do that. If I order something a specific way, I expect it to come out the way I ordered it.


And yes, I could write a book about some of the problems I've had in stores and restaurants.

Just a few examples:
Pizza Hut, when we ordered the new p-zones, and after waiting more than 30 minutes for our food, the server came over and told us they didn't have any more, and the table that came in after us got the last ones. The manager told us "I can make it for you, but it will make you sick".

McDonalds, when the food came out hard as a rock, and we asked them to replace it, and the replacement was just as bad as the first one. The manager said "Oh, you wanted the fresh one."

Local store in the mall, when the cashier gave us our change and she said "I'm shorting you 4 cents. I don't have any pennies., instead of just asking us for a penny so she could give us a nickel back. (We later found out that she was stealing money from the store, and those pennies were adding up to quite a bit of money at the end of the day.)

[foster]

Just don't bother with the pills. If the food doesn't work with you, the food doesn't work with you.

No, they don't care about problems because they suck at customer service. I don't brag on myself a lot but I am pretty damn good at customer service. I however am not very good at training people to be good at it. Why? Because it mostly can't be taught. You have to be willing to sacrifice your ego for others. Most people are horrible at that.

The reason I just eat stuff, is because I won't let little things ruin my day. I have had way too many nights ruined when my ex could have just taken whatever she didn't like off her food and moved on.

We all go to the Olive Garden restaurant. The waiter brings the dinner for everybody, but my mom doesn't get hers. The waiter says it will be up in a moment and we all say no problem. The waiter comes back and says the kitchen got your order wrong so the one dinner is free, we thank him.

Then a few minutes latter the waiter comes back and says 'instead of the free diner, how about 1 free desert.'

So what would you have done?

[seanc]

How about a breadstick? Will you accept a breadstick?

One time I went to the olive garden as part of a company outing..

Tell them no! Say you weren't planning on dessert / don't care for dessert at all. Force them to have to give you that dinner for free. Then don't order the dessert just because of what they did and to get the Hell out of there. If you were planning on eating dessert, go somewhere else to get dessert.

Gatsby stick around, cause I have a follow up tipping question.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I once went to a restaurant and I was gonna use a gift card to pay for the meal -- but a waitress came to the table and said, "I'm sorry. We actually don't have any of the food available to make your order right now... would you please pick something else and we will pay for it?"

So I got to have TWO free meals from there!

[Citizen Rules]

There ya go SC! free dinners, nice.

[Citizen Rules]

I swear this part is true: when we first set down at the table I made a joke about putting a big pile of dollars bills for a potential tip and then remove them if the waiter screwed up. Just like on Third Rock From the Sun (the waiter did not hear my joke)

Then a few minutes latter the waiter comes back and says 'instead of the free diner, how about 1 free desert.'

So what would you have done?


Initially I would have been okay with the free dessert, or even nothing free if the wait wasn't too long, but not after being told I was getting a free dinner. I would have called the manager over and asked why the free dinner was taken away. They shouldn't have offered it if they weren't going to honor it. If the waiter made his own decision, he should have said he would ask the manager about what he could do. He shouldn't have offered something that he wasn't authorized to give you.

[Citizen Rules]

Ahh...you agree with SC.

So when the waiter told us how about 1 free desert instead, everybody was 'like, hmm, well, hmm, OK.'

Then I thought about it and it felt wrong to be promised something then have it changed to just a free desert.

I was polite, because Citizen is always polite, I said 'wait a minute you promised a free dinner, you can't go back on that.' So my moms dinner was free.

Now how about tipping?, what would you do there? I will say the whole situation made every one feel uncomfortable.

We had a similar problem a few years ago at TGIF. They gave us a $50 gift card because of an accident with the waiter, but when we tried to use it, they messed up our food and the dinner was free anyway.

[foster]

I would have tipped as usual.

If you want to penalize them you can not include the cost of the free dinner in your tip.
Usually if things are free or discounted I still tip based upon the normal price.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I don't know if I'd be a pain about losing a free dinner, though. I'd try to keep it, but I wouldn't rip their throats out like GB would if they still wouldn't keep up their original promise. Although... I'm not entirely certain how I'd feel. I would probably be moody, but a lot would depend on how cute the waiter is, if he's a man. That's another game changer for me. Cute guys get better tips from me, for example.

Tipping is a whole different issue because sometimes the problem isn't the server's fault, and it's not fair to take it out on the server for a problem that was caused by the cook or the manager.

[Godoggo]

If you'll let me hit you (waiter) with it, then yes.

The last few pages of this thread is why I don't tip people, along with Mr.Pink's opinion.

As a person that waited tables to get through college, that hurts. At least tip 7% the amount that servers pay themselves on the food they sell so they can at least break even.

[Citizen Rules]

[gbgoodies]

If everything goes well, I usually tip at least 20%, sometimes more, and I never take it out on the server if I think the problem was caused by the cook or the manager.

[seanc]

I never don't tip. I might only do 10%, but the service has to be pretty bad. I will walk out before not tipping, this has only happened twice that I can remember.

[Citizen Rules]

In my case the kitchen caused the delay but the waiter bungled it by offering a free diner then recanting.

[Citizen Rules]

It went smooth. The waiter said 'OK no problem I'll bring the free dinner' and everyone was polite to him. No drama.

We all left a 15% tip. I don't like tipping and that's why I don't go out to restaurants. That was the first time in a year I had went and it might be the last time too.

As long as the waiter was polite and he honored the free meal without any hassle, and everything went well with dinner, I would have tipped the full 20%. It's not the waiter's fault that the food was wrong and delayed.

[Godoggo]

If everything goes well, I usually tip at least 20%, sometimes more, and I never take it out on the server if I think the problem was caused by the cook or the manager.

Yeah, I'm a good tipper especially knowing what servers go through. This is our tipping system. 20 to 25 % for good service. We will add an extra ten if the server was exceptional in any way, or if we were dining with people I think were pain in the butts. Tim knows my "slip them an extra ten" look. 15% to 20% if the service was ok but the server had bad server habits 10% for bad service and I'll let the manager know why. Has only happened twice and I eat out a lot!

Actually someone only tipping 7% still would result in the server losing money because they lost a tipping table by the non-tipping person sitting there. Might I suggest take-out, non-tippers? ;)

I've heard that before, and I have a story about that scenario too.

After having a problem with a rare burger coming out well done twice, we called over the manager. The manager told us that he would fix the burger again.

I told him to just take it off the bill. I told him that I don't like to send food back twice because I don't trust the chef not to spit in my food. (Yes, I really said that to him.) He guaranteed me that nothing would happen to my food. I trusted him because we had been there many times before, and we rarely had problems there.

A few minutes later, the waitress came to the table and she told me, "I don't know what you said to him, but the head chef is making your food, and the manager is standing there watching him.".

I won't name the films so I don't spoil anything, but I notice so much more humanity "back in the day" - for example, when I mentioned I have hitchhiked, I'm asked if I'm crazy. I've seen lots of movies (domestic and foreign) where not only was hitchhiking common, but where people could drift around. The movie I saw recently had this man, a stranger, being given a place to stay for free. Nothing was asked from him, there was basic empathy. Nowadays it's "loitering" or "What are you doing?" "Where are you going?" I see society so scared that it doesn't take any chances, and doesn't have much of a chance to do anything if nothing is allowed or acceptable. Do people consciously dream as much? Whether it's possible or not?

And coming up soon my hours are going to be increasing for a bit because one of our employees gave notice yesterday. It's gonna suck putting in even more hours, but the trade off is more money and - more importantly - we'll be rid of a terrible employee that the boss should've fired months ago.

Hitchhiking has always been dangerous. For both hitchee and hitcher. I've hitchhiked and jumped trains. Back when I was young, dumb and thought I was invincible.

I wouldn't give a hitchhiker a ride or let someone I didn't know stay at my house under any conditions, but I do small things here and there to try to make life a little easier for another person and people do that for me.

There is still humanity in the world if you are open to seeing it. There is no point in being an idealist and wishing the world a certain way. Those wanting more humanity in the world only need be more humane.

Yes.. they are very beautiful birds.... I enjoy birds of prey more... but I had the song stuck in my head... however I have to say a "Quetzalcoatl" bird is a rare beauty.

I don't know much about birds, but some birds are beautiful. There's a local pet store called Parrots of the World (http://parrotsoftheworld.com/), and they sell a lot of exotic birds and other animals. I like to go in there a lot and just look at all the unusual birds and other animals they have.

They even have a little owl as a security guard, and a bat.

I love birds, mainly birds of prey, which include falcons, hawks, kestrels and owls..

The welsh word for "Owl" is Blodeuwedd... and there is Welsh myth about the bird that is my favorite.

When I was a kid, my father bought me a parakeet. We went to the pet store to buy a hamster, but I fell in love with the parakeet because it was blue, (my favorite color), and I had never seen a blue animal before.

That was a big mistake because the first time he used his beak to try to climb on my finger, I thought he was trying to bite me so I was afraid of him. He was just a little tiny bird, but I was a little kid, and I didn't know any better. I played with him, but I had a special glove with padding inside that I wore when I held him.

After that, I learned to stick with cute, furry little animals like hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs.

I have been bit by a macaw bird.... I had a wool letterman's jacket and a fisherman's sweater on and he bit right into my forearm..... it left a huge welt for days..

About 10 years ago, I worked in an office that had three birds, a Rose-Breasted Cockatoo, an African Grey Parrot, and a Blue and Yellow Macaw. The birds were very friendly, and a lot of fun to watch, but I found out that I still have a little bit of that fear in me from when I was a kid.

We have a local Bird Sanctuary near here, but I rarely go there. I've been there a few times when they hold fundraiser events, but that's about it.
