I don't know about that but what about those rubber garden shoes everyone's wearing all over the place lately?

Rude wait staff.
we don't make much, to be honest ... it can be a ****ty job.

yeah, rude wait staff ... i don't get it! your tips depend on your demeanor ...

Of course there are those restaurants where people pay (or they used to) for waiters with attitude. When I worked at the SF Hamburger Mary's, we were sort of a show for the patrons, and we pushed them around quite a bit. The decor of Mary's, cluttered kitsch, now that was gloriously, unapologetically tacky!

I forgot about "cromulent".

Made up words are the best thing in the world.

Fug. I hate those things, and they look hot to me, all that rubber...not thanks. But then again, most things are too hot to wear in Austin for about 5-6 months out of the year .
