Cool places as it were in Detroit for less than 10K. I still say we should all go up there and buy a couple of blocks. cr****
I spent like an hour one night looking at houses in Detroit on Zillow because I was fascinated by the prices. But I don't have a job in Detroit, and even if I had fully paid housing, my student loan payments require that I have full time employment.
Yea I don't have to work anymore so that makes it quite a bit easier for me. On the flip though, I know a lot of people that don't work and if we could grow stuff on empty lots, get lots of gov't grants, it might work. Mind you I am not trying to start some Hippie commune, but another way of life cr****

Plus there is that whole "living in the worst city in America" thing.
Tedeschi Trucks band is coming to town but $55 bucks seems a little steep to me. Anybody else?
I would be all over that. But I love those guys and I'm like a trillionaire. Money means nothing to me.
I hear you, but the kid gets braces tomorrow so maybe I'm just feeling a little pinched. The venue is awesome, not a bad seat. Hubby is definitely going, maybe it's just his turn

Spotify needs to chill. They're now suggesting I listen to Candle In The Wind (by Ser Elton) and How's It Going To Be (by Third Eye Blind) since they were "big when I was younger."
Fake beef, is that maybe the answer to real beef? Some say the consumption of red meat is the major problem a lot of problems ... cr****
I had a 30 something year old guest yesterday who ordered a turkey burger...
Girl: I don't like this. Me: Oh! I'm sorry, can I get you something to put on it that would make it better? (our rule is to see if you can fix it before we toss it) Girl: No, it's too much like beef. I don't eat beef. Me: Have you ever had a turkey burger before? Girl: No. Me: We can certainly order you something else, but can ask what you were expecting? Our turkey burger is a typical turkey burger. Perhaps you are looking for roasted turkey? We can make you a turkey sandwich. Girl: Not sure what I was expecting, but I don't eat beef. I'll go for the veggie burger. Me: I will order that for you, but just to let you know, a turkey burger will be ground turkey made into a burger patty at any restaurant you go to..
She then proceeds to take a bite or two of the veggie burger and doesn't touch it again. I decide not to ask. How can you be a non red meat eater in your 30s and never have a turkey burger before? Or at least know that it'll come as a ground patty?
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Spotify does a pretty good job telling me what I might like to listen to. Now if they would just get their app working properly.
Normally they're pretty.....(wait for it)....spot on (heyo!), but today they're struggling big time.
What issues have you been having with the app, btw? I've noticed since the last update the loading times have gone way up.
Lately it pauses between tracks for-EVER. Sometimes indefinitely until I press the back or forward arrow. And the past week or so it pauses during the tracks. It's super annoying. I've just been turning it off cause it's too hard to listen to music that way.

that made me laugh because my sister did that at a restaurant once. she ordered a turkey burger and was disturbed that it came out as a patty- she thought that meant it had been frozen and so she ordered something else. she's also a non-red-meat-eater.
of course, I try to avoid going out to eat with her anyway because she usually complains about something or is rude to the server, and I worked as a server for 7 years... so I know that a) it can be a hard job b) customers can really suck and c) yes, they will spit in your food- or worse- if you're an asshole.
When I was in my mid-twenties I blew my ears inside out with Widespread Panic and chainsaws and motorcycles and bar blenders and mouthy girlfriends and firearms -- not necessarily at the same time, you understand. So after having been in denial about it for a while, I'm finally having to face up to the fact that I need hearing aids. Not an easy psychological adjustment to make.

Actually, I've worked in restaurants since I've been 14 (corporate and private; family, upscale and college dining) and I've never seen anyone do anything that affects the sanitary level of a guest's food out of anger. But perhaps I just choose the right establishments to work in?

I am pretty sure that abrakapokus said she worked with people that would do it. If I remember right, she said she was more of a fan of "Oh, you want to be an ass? Well, you better make that drink last because I am never coming back to your table until I drop a check on it." style of revenge.
Anything dubbed a "burger" is clearly (I would think)emulating beef.
I totally agree. That's actually something I had the urge to point out, but there's a fine line between suggesting the guest made a stupid decision and actually telling them they are stupid

Oh yeah, I've seen toooooons of attitude and rude comments, etc. Last year, a girl got tipped $5 on about $200. She ran out after them, threw the 5 dollars at them and said, "You obviously need this more than I do!" She was then fired. Abra's example is a much more appropriate response. Although, I don't usually do anything. I grin and bear it. Then complain like crazy behind the guest's back.

Yeah, that's the reason I always feel bad for people in any kind of customer service. They have to take all kinds of ridiculous abuse then grin and bear it.
If you're an ass, you WILL get the smallest portion of steak/chicken/fish/etc we have. Sorry dude, nice people get extra big helpings of everything, just for not being dicks.

yeah, I'm not saying I've seen it happen often, but I have seen it. I've worked everywhere from a Huddle House (my mom's, no spitting there) to fine dining. FTR I never participated in any of it, because I'm better than that of course, but I did see it.
