    Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

    Standing in line at a Redbox with two kiosks side-by-side. One kiosk is being played with by 2 kids who's mother didn't want them in the grocery store with her, the other by a woman. The woman leaves, the guy in front of me approaches...I see him rent The Last of Us (which is what I had cone to get) but I hope there is another copy...he leaves, I go to it and there are no more copies. Finally just then the kids leave so I slide to that one...no PS4 games at all.

    If those kids would have just moved soon enough for that guy to jump on I could have gotten the kiosk with TLoU...Damnit.

      Or just use the Redbox app on your phone to get it held for you and you don't face the possible rejection....

          It's like I said a couple of months ago...it always seems funny how majority of the times whenever a food place ever messes up an order,it just happens to be because they gave you less than you asked for. It's never something like you ordered a burger and medium fries and they accidentally give you more fillings in the burger and large fries. If a mistake happens,it always ends up something like a burger with barely anything in it,and small fries.

            Seeing servers/bartenders retweet and repost all of those "Tip your server" articles and ****.

            I am a bartender/server and, yeah, it gets annoying when you get stiffed and all of that, but 95% of the time you're still making more per hour than you would at a desk job so shut the **** up about it. Jesus.

              Apparently Penn State believes that $214 is all I need back in order to pay for books and traveling expenses. For some reason I am not eligible for a loan that I've received my first two semesters back.

              I was approved for over 11k in loans (including work study) and tuition is only 7k this semester. ****.

                Reminds me of my friend who made $240 in two days one time and was complaining.

                And you know they don't report all of those cash tips either.

                  I would say cash tips are probably a low percentage of what they get. Its hard to hide debit and credit card tips.

                    Yeah, cash tips are usually reported lowly, if at all. One restaurant I worked at warned you when the numbers seemed off. But sometimes you just get a crappy tip. The credit and debit tips are impossible to hide, because they have to adjust the amount charged after tip.

                      Actually I meant that most people probably don't use cash to tip anymore.

                        I actually contribute to my own gear grinder. I try to tip cash even if I pay with a card...

                          you know what grinds my gears?? these two stupid mcdonalds here at the college i go to. so i go to ms state and theres one mcdonalds about a mile away from campus and another mcdonalds about a half a mile from my apartment. these two mcds pretty much brought my disdain for mcdonalds. the one by campus they freakin forget my order each and every single time. i kid you not the girl at the window asked me twice "what did you order" when i was the only car in the line, i swear some one has that MIB pen in the back. the second one which is by my apt is soo freakin ghetto. i used to work at lowes and i would get breakfast there and it took me 25 mins to get 2 sausage biscuits because they spent more time talking rather than making my breakfast. oh yea and their breakfast burritos suck

                              If you have a ton of them outside, mix up water and dish soap in a spray bottle. Soap hardens on their backs and kills them. Works fantastic.
