They got back from their wedding party and started demanding that she call the bartender back (which she doesn't have the authority to do) and proceeded to harass her and call her racist, all while filming it on their cell phones. She's not the sort of person to take that kind of attack well and had a break down. I hope those elf holes watch their stupid videos and realize the kind of colossal Dickensians they were. Nobody should have to put up with that sort, or for that matter any sort, of elfhattery from drunks. If they were as intoxicated as they sound like from the description of their actions then the bartender couldn't have legally served them anyway in most jurisdictions, and would have been within his rights and responsibilities to call security and or the cops on them. Hopefully your co-worker will file the appropriate complaint, and with luck and appropriate corporate policy, the people will get put on a banned list and not permitted to stay in any of your employers facilities in the future. If they're going to do that to your front of the house people what are they capable of doing to other guests? And how big a lawsuit could it generate?

Last year she was having similar symptoms but switching her to supper medicated kidney can food seemed to take care of it. but since then she decided she didn't like the food that much and stopped eating it, we switched to dry bag of medicated kidney food. Her main symptom is that her back legs quit working for a few minutes. then she is fine again. - got more wet food this afternoon. of course, as I am writing this I can hear her trying to break into the trashcan for roast scraps. even after 19 years, still lots of life left in her. Not in this picture especially, cause nap time. Look up Sasha's Blend. It's either in tablet or powder form and helps pets with joint/artrosis and similar problems. 3 hours ago, Cyradis said: Beer, ice cream, and butter.

GEM This sounds like a notify management of harrasment, and potential harm. Use video's to show cause of problems.Then bring everyone together to decide what shall be done in future cases, and pay employee for damage and agony suffered in attack; This is a case of abuse of staff, and management better deal with it, or watch their business close down.

Yea, they won't. They're the same type of people who think it's great to shout all sorts of obscenities at me while I'm working and record it because they're "totally owning this guy who's a jerk just because he's doing his job." The best response, I've found, is to take out your own phone and act like you're recording them as well. They usually get very, very angry at you for that, screaming things like "What are you doing? You're not allowed to record me!" and then start shutting the hell up and running the hell away. Especially if you aren't saying anything other than "please leave" or the equivalent and being polite. You don't even have to actually be recording them, though it does help to do so when you need to file a complaint/police report later. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowley Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 4 hours ago, Unruly said: Oh, no, I'm familiar with Frontier. They bought out Verizon here back in 2010, right after I bought my house. There was a big broccoli storm about how the state let Verizon sell out to them, because Verizon had spent the last 5 years doing literally no repairs outside of the absolutely necessary ones. Frontier tried to fix it, but never could, then they got a whole bunch of grant money that they tried to steal by counting undeployed rolls of fiber that was connected to the network but still on the spool in a basement somewhere as "installed." The DOJ opened an investigation into them for that. I was paying $65/mo for 3mbps service and I was getting the equivalent of 56k dialup service about 50% of the time, and apparently I wasn't alone because the WV government sued them over it in 2015/16. They settled out of court, which got the bill dropped to $10/mo for the next 2 years or until service was meeting advertised levels, whichever took longer. But once that went into effect, the service level degraded even further, to where it was almost impossible to surf the web even at 3am on a weekday. It just so happened that Time Warner Cable finally let me sign up with them at that time. I'd been trying for years, and I knew that they served my area because this house had had Time Warner previously, but their website wouldn't let me sign up online and every time I called I got put on hold for over an hour and would give up. But when all the Frontier stuff went down they fixed their website to let me sign up online. Now I'm paying $65/mo and getting an actual 75mpbs service. I'm actually generally happy with it. The bill just recently went up from $55/mo to $65, but it also came with a service upgrade of more than double(it used to be 25mbps), so, you know, I'm not too upset. It's just that tonight it has been going in and out for a few hours. So yea, I've dealt with Frontier. And Comcast. And Adelphia, who were so freaking corrupt that their top executives actually ended up in jail for once... I have yet to encounter a single cable/internet provider that doesn't elf broccoli. It's a glorious 58 degrees and raining out right now. I think fall is really getting a grip on the city. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitterwolf Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I wished Halloween was more of a thing here. It is slowly gaining ground and there things for sale like candy and some rubber rats and spiders etc. But nothing as fancy as you guys have. Hrm..maybe for the best, my girl would kill me if I brought that skeletal dragon home... I would like some of those though. Dino egg! The petrified remains of the Gargantuan Baby Ancient Ones are still being revered by the tribes. Every year they bring sacrifices, hoping the fresh blood will one day resurrect them. It has been foretold that should they rise all enemies will fall before them. Some non believers have protested against the senseless bloodshed, this made choosing this year's sacrifices a lot easier. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unruly Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I hate fake skeletons so much. Why do they need to make a fake spider "skeleton"? Don't they know that spiders don't have bones!? Why do dog/cat skeletons have to have bone ears? Ears don't have bones! Well, not external ones that are visible, and the ones that are internal usually just fall out the skull because they're so small. REAL SKELETONS ARE COOL ENOUGH ON THEIR OWN! I shouldn't have to dig up my dead cat if I want a realistic looking cat skeleton for a Halloween decoration... 11 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sculpting skin and fur over the offending parts would make it more believable. Of course in the case of the spider this won't do. I like the look of it, but it is completely wrong of course. Or one could paint up up as a statue and have it worshipped by a tribe of Forest Goblins? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
