    Preacher...there's a whole fucking thread for you to rant in about that


    He's referencing Reservoir Dogs

    Nah I prefer to stay out of the specific threads other then the primaries one if only because the stupidity overwhelms.

    Alright, then shut up about tipping you cheapskate

    Oh please if we can deal with all that "Do you guys have marble I have marble" or "Wow sucks, I love Wow" I think we can stand a little back in forth on tipping even if there is a topic.

    It's not that I'm trying to be an ass or anything, but my philosophy is that if someone sucks at what they're doing, or they're doing it wrong, telling them politely corrects the issue, or at least gets the ball rolling. The problem is that too many people either get rude about it, or keep quiet, and nothing changes.

    When I waited tables for a couple of years I appreciated if someone left a note saying I was messing up with something.

    Well it all depends on the person. I know some people can't stand the slightest correction. And I'd really not want to take the time to tell someone else how to do their job.

    And that's perfectly alright by me. It's something I've only done twice in my lifetime, but I felt it was needed. It's not like I asked to see the manager or get a free meal.

    Answer me this though, you might consider me an ass for leaving the note, but was I right?

    I had it done to me when I was a waiter, and I realized I was giving shitty service that day because my mind was on other stuff, so I snapped out of it and made an extra $50 by the end of the day.

    In oregon you can't fill your own gas. They have laws against it if you can believe that.

    OH MY GOD GAS ATTENDANTS RAHH RAHHH

    We've explained this before, it's about providing jobs and thus it's pretty damn hard to get rid of the requirement that gas attendants pump gas instead of the driver. This is only the case in a couple states, anyway.

    It's pretty uncommon. A couple states don't allow people to fill their own gas because they're jackasses or something, but otherwise you normally only see it in a much nicer area than most of America.

    I think we only have like five left in the country, and they only help the handicapped, or hot chicks.

    edit: also, the last time I saw one, they charged an extra 5 cents a gallon to do it, but they cleaned your windshield too

    I always heard it as the gas lobby in Oregon wanted only their people pumping so they could charge more or some garbage. I dunno I asked when I was a young child and my grandfather is a crazy conspiracy vet.

    The BP in this town actually has one pump marked as "full service" while all the rest are self-service. It's the first time I'd ever seen such a thing. But I refuse to use it.

    I don't really hate them or anything. I just find the fact that someone gets paid to simply stand there and pump petrol pretty amazing.
