Disney Employees Dig Through Trash To Find Couple's Lost Wedding Rings
He better have left a pretty darn big tip. I'm thinking at least $1000. I mean, these people just saved you how much money? You would have at least had to re-purchase two of those rings ...
Philadelphia Cafe Keeping Server's Tips For Themselves?
Sigh. I have no problem with the owners' policy, AS LONG AS THEY MAKE IT CLEAR TO THEIR PATRONS!! If it's clear to the patrons that tips don't go to the staff, then fine. In that situation, I would never tip. If the restaurant thinks that its food is worth more than the prices on their menu, then they need to raise their prices. Otherwise, they are basically stealing from their servers, and from their customers.
This would really piss me off if I was a customer at this place. I think I would go there and ask for all my tips back.
Great Moments In Commercial History: Fred And Sharon's Movies
Are these real? They seem like a viral thing.
Either way, they are certainly hilarious.
Announcing The Worst Company In America 2008 Contestants
FINAL FOUR:
Comcast vs. Best Buy
Sears vs. Countrywide
WINNER:
CountryWide
or at least CountryWide SHOULD win. They've definitely ruined more lives than Comcast or Sears has in the last couple years.
Worst Company In America 2008: Preliminaries (2nd Try)
Anyone who thinks that Comcast is worse than Countrywide is either stupid or uninformed.
Worst Company In America 2008: Preliminaries
@SportsCentre: I agree with this suggestion. Having to vote for 1 of 122 is just too difficult.
For the first round, split them into groups that are based on industry. So all the telecoms would be on one ticket, all the electronics retailers on another ticket, ... and so on.
The winners of each round would face off in 1v1 cage matches.
Ask The Consumerists: Why Is It Cool To Make Fun Of "Drunk" Irish People?
There is a very good reason why, in the US, it's OK to stereotype people of Irish or Italian descent, but not ok to stereotype people of certain other races. That reason is, of course, that there is little to no real-world racism against Irish people and Italian people. People of Irish and Italian descent don't get higher rates on their loans just because of their race (to point out the obvious, recent example).
Now, if you went back about 100 years, there would be real anti-Irish racism. In turn-of-the-20th century NYC, there were restaurants with signs that said "No Irish". Those wounds have healed now, but it's only been 40 years since some restaurants had signs that read "Whites Only".
I imagine that, in 50 years, there will be more racial harmony, and rather than no race being picked on in retail, we will ALL be picked on in retail. Just like the Irish are today.
Worst Company In America '08: Nominate
How can it not be Countrywide? It HAS to be Countrywide. I mean, Best Buy has problems, but they're not scamming people out of their homes. Comcast is less than amazing, but that depends more on what area you live in.
The only competition to Countrywide is Blackwater, but since they neither MAKE nor SELL a product that we buy, they are out of the running.
Survey Says: Half Of UK Men Would Give Up Sex For 50-Inch Plasma TV
I completely understand the men who ARE having sex, but would still take the TV. I mean, without the deal, there's no way that I am getting a 50 inch TV in the foreseeable future. But if I took the deal, I'm pretty sure my fiance would still have sex with me 6 months from now!
So in a way, the real question was: "How confident are you that your relationship could withstand 6 months without sex?" In the UK, around half the marriages end in divorce, so the 47% result is about what you would expect.
