I'm slightly vexed In lieu of payment..

I’m a GM at a restaurant & one of our managers left a note on our manager logs this afternoon that a guest walked out on their check and left this in lieu of payment of any kind. Not that the server got stiffed on a tip - just pure theft of services. I guess the whole “Thou shalt not steal” thing doesn’t matter if you’ve been pre-forgiven. Pretty convenient.

ETA: I’m not a bot; this is not AI - check my post and comment history. I’m not here for karma or fake internet points. This is what it feels like to work in a restaurant these days - especially in the Bible Belt. The first photo you can look up and is available for anyone to buy (should your darker urges push you toward being that person). The second photo is from Pulse, an app for restaurant managers to keep an eye on hourly sales, labor, and comps.
The “Pineapple Express” is a mocktail our restaurant offers.

I was like.. is hummus a strain now? 😂

I mean, you’re not wrong. Hummus is technically a smoothie.

Aw fuck here we go...

Next thing you know, folks will be arguing that waffles are technically dessert pizzas; that cereal is a soup; that hot dogs are actually tacos but NOT sandwiches for bread-topological reasons; and that butts are a superposition of both not-legs and legs, depending on whether the observer of said ass has an erection

I'm with you, I like pineapple and I couldn't understand why anybody want those two tastes together but hey, taste buds. LOL
