Springs1 came into this thread to share an opinion. What makes you ASSUME that Springs1 wants to see YOUR RESPONSES?!?!?! Just because this is an Internet message board, Springs1 should not be BOTHERED with SELFISH AND TIME-CONSUMING REPLIES that were not explicitly ASKED FOR!!!
Springs1 pays good money for her INTERNET! Springs1 wants the internet to be FAST AND NOT WASTE TIME. Your STUPID and 100% WRONG responses are TAKING UP BANDWIDTH. Springs1 should not be assaulted with your STUPID THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES.
I ASSURE YOU, if Springs1 wants to hear from you, YOU WILL KNOW. DO NOT CLOG THIS THREAD WITH STUPID RESPONSES. Springs1 might want this thread to be about PUPPIES now, or perhaps it should be about UNCLOGGING DRAINS. Springs1 PAYS FOR INTERNET ACCESS and DESERVES a choice about what this thread is about! Do NOT ASSUME that this thread should be about tipping just because it was about tipping for the first fifteen pages! THAT IS 100% WRONG OF YOU TO DO!
You live in Ontario. A LAND of ICe and snow. I also live IN ice and snow, [SUB](rough weather as a rule but we deal with it)[/SUB] but I never KNEW they made such men AS tough as you.
You want clams? More than 100 of them? That’s gonna stink.
But you have made a gallant offer.
I cannot fund your trip to where Springs lives because I believe it may be in a galaxy far, far away. You get there and I bet us dopers will figure someting out.
I am also very curious if Springs has a vocation or job.
… I just went through the list of posts in the thread and found where Springs1 came in - rather abruptly and from there on out, she took a contrary position, right?
Well, here’s what I’m thinking:
Was that her first ever post?
If so, might she have gotten the mistaken idea that since this is the Pit, what one is supposed to do, is take the opposite side, if one thinks one has a point, and never ever deviate from that???
Does this sound familiar to some of our older friends?
Do the names Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtin strike a familiar note?
Because as one who never belongs in a debate Why?— (All together now: (Because you can’t defend your position worth a shit, Quasi!!" - “Well, just fuck alla y’all. then!!!” ----- SLAMS DOOR), because I cannot for the life of me figure out any other answer!
And since I have been given the benefit of the doubt many times by y’all, thank you, I’d like to explore this as a possibility.
So how about it, Hon?
Did you think you were supposed to continue the argument?
Sorry! I know it’s a reach, but I’m at a loss here.
Heh. You may be an idiot, but I think what this really proves is that you’re way too uncultured to step foot in a fancy restaurant. I wouldn’t go so far as to say you shouldn’t stray too far away from the unwashed masses, but you should at least keep to the minty fresh ones.
Well, the thread started in IMHO, and that’s when Springs1 started posting. I stand by my earlier statement: She’s totally fucking with y’all. It’s crude, but apparently, quite effective.
If so, then it’s time to stop the game and come out, come out wherever you are, because you are wasting the time and emotions of many good people whom I love, Spring1.
If not then God, I feel so sorry for you, Hon, and as I write this, my eyes are a tad moist.
WHY was he ARRESTED THEN? Because he didn’t pay the gratuity that was required according to the MENU*, you IDIOT!
I have, you idiot, the fact that he was ARRESTED for something that was TYPED ON THE MENU that he HAD TO PAY! Are you THAT STUPID OR ILLITERATE OR BLIND OR WHAT?
THE MENU IS THE GOD OF ORDERING! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL THIS!
This means if I switch FOUNTAIN BEVERAGES at restaurants that give free refills on fountain beverages, I CANNOT BE LEGALLY CHARGED, HOW ABOUT THAT?
How about the FACT that I have NEVER BEEN ONCE CHARGED for switching soft drinks, tea, or coffee before at restaurants that do not charge for refills? Doesn’t that PROVE I am right?
Probably. But for a few posts, I honest-to-god wondered if it could be a woman I used to wait on, who actually was that insane and complained of the same things.
I’m a bit puzzled because I’m doing my best to maintain neutrality, yet she will not acknowledge me who is providing an avenue (weak though it is) not populated by the opposition, and chooses instead to keep fighting.
Didn’t have much psych in college, but this almost looks like the proverbial “rat in the corner”.
No use of the bolding B, instead choosing to capitalize and emphazize with asterisks.
(Probably not important unless it’s faster for her that way).
If this isn’t an Anthropological paper, then she’s one disturbed person.
Shit, what do I know, and I’m not supposed to be here anyway.
What state did you serve in? I have never verbally complained about this to a serverr or a manger before just to let you know, so it really couldn’t have possibly been me!
Hey, Shit-for-brains, the charges were dropped. Meaning he didn’t have to pay. Who’s the idiot now? Once again, point out the fucking law.
You can keep telling us all this over and over again, but that doesn’t make you any less wrong. Fuck the menu. It doesn’t matter. The menu is a guideline. If you order something on the menu and the restaurant decides not to give it to you, your recourse is to fucking leave. If they tell you they ran out, or they don’t consider fountain drink swapping in line with their definition of “free refill” what do you do? You can bitch about it to the manager and he gets to decide if its worth it to let you walk pissed off or to placate you with coupons or comped meals, but other than that you’ve got no recourse. Oh, I forgot, you can stiff the waithelp, too, but that just makes you a *cheap *douche. The douche part comes with the fact that you whine about how rude the waithelp is to you. Boo fucking hoo. As you’ve surely noticed, nobody – least of all the servers – gives a flying fuck.
Nope. It would be pointless to ask for a cite (which is not the same as an anecdote, by the way) because there is none. There’s no legal definition of free refill. You insisting there is one doesn’t make it so.
Nope. It’s strictly anecdotal. What if I had told you I have been charged? Does that prove I’m right. I’ll give you a hint: If I smacked you upside the head repeatedly would it make you any less ignorant?
So, let me get this straight. Your plan is to correct this terrible problem of poor service is chain restaurants by trolling message boards with your singular message in a way that cause them to a) gang up on you, b) question your sanity, and/or c) outright ban you?
Good thinking there, Sparky. Let me know how it all works out for ya.
and from there on out, she took a contrary position, right?
