Why do I suddenly want to go watch the opening 5 minutes of Reservoir Dogs?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

I had no idea that "shirt" was a euphemism for Dick Cheney.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Here's the thing: servers work for the restaurants. They do NOT work for the patrons. Patrons should NOT be directly responsible for the livelihood of the servers. It's the restaurant's responsibility to properly pay ALL staff. Why are food servers different than someone who sells clothing? We don't tip the person who folds the sweaters at the Gap and who helps us figure out sizes and rings us up. There might be a commission structure, sure, but it's invisible to the patron.
And why in the hell should a server's wage be paid by a patron, on the basis of how much that patron consumes? It's ridiculous. The server who gets a budget-minded couple is going to take home less of a tip (despite the percentage, if the couple is on a budget, the food cost will be less, thus a lesser tip) than the server who gets lucky and serves a couple who can spend more. It's a completely ludicrous set-up.
javachik is me.
Fay, I meant to comment on the "you must obviously be black" comment as well -- I am also surprised it went apparently unnoticed.
Yeah, that was completely bizarre.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It is a little too manly for me, and I am a girl...
