It is really easy to steal from those self-checkout lines in most retail stores nowadays. Just don't scan everything in and make sure it doesn't have a door sensor on it when you leave.

I've never done it, but it always crosses my mind because it seems so simple.

about half of the people who travel to other countries to teach english are really cool. the other half are massive losers.

tipping the guy who pumps your gas, even like a buck, will garuntee you top service and oftentimes free shit.

Some bartenders actually empty the damn little drain of over-run drinks into drunk patrons' drinks and send it over with a smile.

Especially if you've established that you're an asshole or a tightwad.

Like one guy filed a claim about his 600 dollar sunglasses being stolen. He sends in a bunch of stupid ass pictures of him wearing the sunglasses, and this guy looks like a complete tool. The pictures are circulated, blown up, romoshopped and all that. So just remember, even if you're communicating with a professional company like an insurance company, we're still laughing at you.
damn.

Totally true. I mixed a long island iced tea for a drunk guy once that was all triple sec, sour mix, pineapple juice, coke, and water. It was hilarious seeing him sip on it like it was rough going down!

I even asked him how it was, and he said "it was the best fuckin drink he had all night." Good times.

3. If you are rude, ignorant, or a hot chick.....the whole service staff will hear about it and come walk by your table to see what you look like

4. As posted earlier about hotels: if you are willing to complain....you will be comped. Managers are pussies when it comes to people being pissed off and their way of getting you to STFU is to pay for your meal.

5. Servers at my restaurant eat the food there all the time.......you almost NEVER see a kitchen worker eat it.


Q4T! Especially #2 + #3

But - if you order prime rib cooked more than Medium, you need to just not eat prime rib.

Americas intelligence gathering, the same information that is used to decide if we go to war or not, is regularly outsourced to defense contracts and other for profit corporations that make money from war.
