I am going to call this legendary customer service--after all, the girlfriend was the customer even if the guy was the recipient. In the girlfriend's position, I would have ordered a sandwich to be delivered to the other girl and a swift kick in the nuts for the boyfriend.

Yeah, and I can't excuse what the guy did. I think the delivery guy definitely overstepped his position... but let's face it, he's just a delivery guy.

I think the level of care on this does depend on the positions. Are there unspoken rules when it comes to hotel staff, for example?

There’s unspoken rules when dating/married. Not cheating is one. I think if anyone overstepped any position it was the boyfriend. It’s nice some people still have morals.

The hired help should not inject themselves into the affairs of the clientele. No good will come of it

While true... who decides morals? Perhaps this was an open relationship. I could see the driver being fired if he tried to tattle and ended up getting the situation wrong.

I mean, it ended up how it should... but it's a weird one.

good point. Didn’t think of it that way. But if it were an open relationship, I doubt she would care and still would have thanked him for looking out for her. But who knows, definitely a tough one. I’m not sure I would interject unless I knew the person. I’d feel stupid if he was hanging out with his sister and I reported he was cheating or something.

Wow. That seriously was one of the dumbest things I have ever read.

Was there supposed to be a point buried in that ridiculous word salad?

Duh! The point was obviously that any goofball can be a published “author” in this modern, high tech world!

Unspoken? I'm pretty sure that is a widely spoken (and written) rule.

Unspoken rules cover things like urinal selection.

Starbucks to eliminate plastic straws in all stores by 2020

This'll be overturned in a week. Two, at the most.

We went to Red Lobster a few weeks back in Bloomington and they had signs on their tables that "to save the planet", they'd no longer automatically hand out straws with customers' drinks.

Good. Straws are for children and women with too much lipstick.


I only use the straw to shoot its wrapper at my wife's face.




Don't get me wrong, there should be no law, but here's a case of a business saying, "you want a straw, no problem, but we're not going to assume." This used to be de rigueur when I was a kid, IIRC.

I always use straws at restaurants. The idea of putting my lips to the same cup that a stranger drank from weirds me out.

Yet putting a fork (that's been in a stranger's mouth) in your mouth is OK?

 

[rvb]

I usually use the straw only because restaurants pack the cups so full of ice... after the first few sips it's hard to get a drink w/o getting a face full of ice...
If it's a place where I get my own drink and put in a reasonable amount of ice or no ice, then I don't usually use a straw.

some fast food if you don't put the lid on the cup, a major part of the structural integrity of the cup is compromised and good luck picking it up w/o squeezing the cup and making a mess....

Y...Y...You don't bring plastic cutlery from home to restaurants?

Then you throw the overly-iced drink in the server's face and yell, "I am not a polar bear!"

I'll give you that one.



Just thought of this...

Even with beer?

Stainless steel chopsticks.

How more generations before our own germophobia kills us off as a species?

Well, not me and mine, but y'all.

Lol, that's a great point!
