8. oh man, do I have a story for you
There was this chinese place in Groton CT, and we used to order from them all the time. The delivery driver would pretend not to know english, and when given a 20 for a 10 dollar order woiuld not ask if you wanted change, but instead would say, Thank you, and walk away pocketing the money.

You had to ask for change or he would walk away with your money. I agree with giving tips, but a 10 dollar tip on a ten dollar order is a bit much.

it was funny watching that happen to the new guys though.

4. Just because you don't give a damn about something
doesn't mean it isn't a real issue. Nobody needs your permission or approval to think, and it's a damned good thing.

19. Well
Edited on Thu Sep-13-07 12:44 PM by jobycom
See, if I saw it come up in the West, and then I used that to drive South, I would wind up in Minnesota instead of at the Gulf.

It would have worked better if I had written "the west" instead of "West," especially since there is a town in Texas called "West," so that could have been a joke about the town name. Sorry. :)

17. I'm mad as hell at a Back to School commercial.
It portrays us as honest, hard working professionals, and not free spirited, horny, sexual beings.

I've worked my whole life at being a free spirited, horny, sexual being, and for commercials to undermine me like that is just plain outrageous.
