I don't know much about the economic structure in the restaurant business, but I would be happy to pay an additional 20% or more for my meals if the staff was paid a decent wage and had benefits. It would be fine with me if salons and taxis were structured that way too.
My step-dad used to drive a private bus from a residential community to their beach access. It was minimum wage but supplemented with a tip jar that riders used daily, weekly, once a season, whatever worked for them. The Man decided the tip jar was tacky and put a sign in the bus indicating No Tips. He doesn't work for them anymore.
Wow, you know what I really don't want to do today? My job. I'm happy enough to be here in the air conditioning, but am wondering if I can just screw around online all day. I bet I can!
I have two piles of papers on my desk. I can't remember what stage of the proces any of this stuff is in. It's going to take half the day to work that out.

I thought today would be like that for me, as I had no recollection what I was doing on Thursday. But I got an email from a client telling me a database was available for download, and suddenly I remembered I was waiting for that....
ION,
NEED MORE COFFEE!
Why do I suddenly want to go watch the opening 5 minutes of Reservoir Dogs?

I think Plei really needs this t-shirt.
Robert McNamara, architect of Vietnam War, dead at 93
But McNamara will be remembered for his leadership of the Defense Department during the escalation of the U.S. presence in Vietnam. It's something that dogged him for the last 40 years, and that he expressed remorse for in his later years. After he left office, it emerged that he'd had doubts early on about what the U.S. was doing in Vietnam, even as he led the American effort there.
And yet, Dick Cheney is alive.
that shirt is 8 times of wrong.
