my son works for this restaurant and has been for about 2 1/2 years. He has a learning disability and has trouble reading. Yesterday during lunch at the restaurant the manager told him to hook up more soda because some was out, well he hooked up the wrong one. With a restaurant full of customers and other employees she yelled out at him calling him slow and saying that if he couldn’t read she would have to put him back on a night shift and that she didn’t have time to babysit “slow people”. Is there anything that can be done about this. She said that he could kill someone by hooking up the wrong drink. But all at the same time every single day she serve caffeinated coffee to customers who order decaffeinated coffee because it saves money and more people drink caffeinated. After she finished yelling at him she went to the front of the store telling the other employees that he couldn’t read.
she knew he had a learning disability when he was hired. To my knowledge he is the only one there who has this disability. When she got up front with the other employees he heard her tell them my 14 year old can do that. Her 14 year old also has a disability. Which startles me more. Why would she do that knowing that the same thing would offend her child.

Hello all,

My fiance and I have 3 days/nights to explore the wonderful city of Seattle. We will be there in mid- October from Friday morning to Monday afternoon. We like art, food, culture, and nightlife. We are staying in the Pioneer Square area. Any suggestions on what to do on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 of our trip will be greatly appreciated.

On Day 1, we will get to our hotel around 11am. We plan to have lunch in Pioneer Square (any ideas?), check out the Museum of Art, Sculpture Garden, have dinner at Pike Market, and finish the evening at a cool bar.

Day 2 and Day 3 are wide open. Fremont? Space Needle? great bars and restaurants? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

I have a long term goal of starting a 1200 sq foot restaurant in downtown Manhattan. It would cater especially to dinner but also serve breakfast and lunch items. I will employ wait staff, hosts, kitchen staff, a chef and a supervisor.It will be more of a southern style family atmosphere than a fancy eatery. I have been researching this for about a year, even taking various jobs in fine dining restaurants, but still cannot ballpark the cost for the establishment I would like to run. Has anyone accomplished something similar or have a better idea of pricing? (hope I wasn’t to specific)

Well me and my mom had gone shopping. After that we wnt to get something to eat in one of the restaurants in the mall. Halfway through eat ting the lunch my mother has to use the bathroom. As i am waiting for her i kind of dazed off a little at the people in front of me. I thought i was dreaming that i saw someone masturbating but, i can hear people beside me commenting.

Okay, so I started this new job at a restaurant. This guy started the same time as me and so naturally talked to him during the first few days of work and whatever. Well shortly after I met him he started coming up on his day off and wanted to buy me lunch. He would drink whiskey (like 2 30 in the afternoon) and wanted to take me out. I told him no and that I had a boyfriend but he wouldn’t stop. He is also like 26 and I am 17. I told one of my guy friends at work that he was being really persistent and if he say him over talking to me to tell me to go do something so that I could get away. Well the next day after that he came up and was like ” Did you tell me you had a bf because you felt uncomfortable”, “I don’t want it to be awkward just bc I think you’ re gorgeous”. I made it clear again that I didn’t want him bothering me. He then started coming up to me at work and touching me, like on the waist and such. It made me really jumpy and nervous at work so I ended up telling the manager and he said don’t worry he won’t be touching anyone anymore, consider it taken care of. He also let it slip that people had complained that he smelled. Well now at work he still comes up and does a creepy smile and talks to me even though I won’t speak to him. He also waits til threres no one else around and will say something in a low voice like “Don’t hate me, woman”. If I even look in his direction he does a creepy smile and raises his eyebrows at me. I feel so uncomfortable. I don’t know what to do. Its not really the managers responsibility to keep him from creeping me out as long as he is not touching me I guess, but people at work have noticed how he is acting around me. What should I do? How can I make him leave me alone? Should I consult with the manager again, even though he hasn’t touched me? Please some advice. Thank you

Ok well this might be kinda long… so I appreciate it if you answer it :). Im a 16 year old dude, and Ive known this girl for a very long time, but weve recently became very close friends. She always texts me/ talks to me on facebook. Very few days go by where we dont talk to each other. Weve even stayed up until like 3 in the morning talking on the phone. Despite that, she acts different in real life and it kinda throws me off. For example, she seems scared to sit directly beside me. Like at lunch, she sits with my friends but she never sits next to me, and I’m like the only guy in our group who is actually friends with her. She also seems scared to let me in her car, yet she will ocassionally get in mine if we go places after school or whatever. She also seems to get jealous when I talk to other girls, and If i walking with her and another girl says hi to me and I say hey back, she’ll say something after she walks off like “shes a bitch” or something. I know it sounds like she likes me.. but she seems to never mind some people being in her car or close to her or something. My friend, who she very shortly met, added her on facebook, and he asked her if she liked me and i read the convo on teamviewer ( which lets me see my friends screen) and she said something like “haha no were just friends.” that kinda shot me down but she continued to text me and stuff like everyday. We have so much in common and she’s done a lot to show she likes me but a lot to show she doesnt. Recently ive been acting mad at her, and just like straight up ignoring her. And she has asked me literally like 20 times that day why I am mad at her. I told her i thought she was two faced because she talks all nice and stuff to people she tells me she doesnt like which i never could do, maybe its a guy thing. She has never really talked about other guys shes into in front of me.. except one time when she told me she was going to start going to go to this restaurant because of a new hot waiter or something and she was like “is that a problem” and she has not really said anything else about it. She also seems very concerned when im mad at her and says stuff like well this is going to bother me all night and stuff. I just dont get why she’s afraid to do things like going riding around or whatever with just me yet she’ll talk to me and invite me to places all the time ( not dateable places, like parties). Ive asked her a few times to go places with me like the movies etc, and she did come once to eat with me one time with a few other friends but she seems scared to do anything else. sometimes it is because of her parents but then again i dont know so. I guess i could write more but I dont really know if it would help. If you get anything from this id really appreciate some advice. No haters please.

I met a guy at work, he was flirting, I was attracted. He just started asking about my plans for lunch when I hear some not cool stuff about him and I stopped talking to him. I thought it is the end but he clearly did not like that! He looked really sad but was careful to approach me cuz I acted pretty cold to him. As soon as I gave him an opening he came right over to talk. He said he wishes that we could talk again, explained that what I heard was misunderstanding. He asked next time to come to him if any problems. He told me “just talk to me” like his life depends on it. I was happy to reconnect and impressed how much effort he put in this. I thought he is really into me.

But, I noticed that he did not flirted the same way he was before.

I was confused and also, I heard some new rumors about me and him dating already. So, I came to him and ask about rumors and I also asked if he is still single. He was a little tense, but made a point to say: No, No, No I do not have a gf cuz I do not have a time for one. At the end he kept repeating that I should come to him just like I did now with any problems.

But later that same day I walked by and saw him showing his phone to other coworker saying :”this is my gf ,she works at a restaurant.” WTF?!?!?

I believe he saw me walking by and probably think I might heard him. Now he is acting awkward around me and most of time pretending being absorbed into his work to see me, than once a day he would make sure to act as if “just notice” me and say “where have u been all day?“ WTF!!?!?

My questions: He clearly met this girl while we were not talking (which is for about a month), but at the same time he clearly was trying to reconnect and seams so sincerely sad - u have to see his longing stares right into my eyes like his very life depend on it… u have to see how emotional and vulnerable he was when talking to me explaining first “misunderstanding”… and so determined to “fix it” between us/ On top of it all these rumors about us made me think that he probably talking about his feelings for me with guys …

And now he lied and he is with someone… and he is not even talking to me any way…

WTF is this all about?

Okay, so we’ve been hanging out for a little over a month now, mostly mountain biking. But I really want to ask him to have lunch with me. We always have good conversations, and tonight we were talking about work and I said, “Not to sound like I’m perfect…because I’m not….” and he said, “Actually, you are…” and kind of laughed. So I don’t know if he’s flirting or if this is just him…some things he says I could take as flirting and hinting about doing more together, but I don’t want to overanalyze and read too much into it… Anyway, he was telling me tonight about a certain wine he likes in a local restaurant that is specific to his family’s region of Italy (he’s Italian) and the fact that I need to try calamari. Well, I really want to ask him when I see him again, “Hey, do you want to have lunch sometime this weekend? I think it’s about time I tried calamari.” Is it too soon to ask him that or am I just supposed to wait for him to make the next move? We made plans to go biking again next week, so I would ask him then, btw…I’m just kind of hesitant because we’re good friends but I’m starting to develop feelings for him and I don’t know if he feels the same way….but I’m really curious to see what his response would be!
I know I tend to overanalyze things….that’s whay I’m asking for your opinions!

Here’s an account of a car accident I had with my Uncle and Aunt after a funeral lunch. Just posting this for any thoughts or comments.

So my Aunt, had a dear Uncle who passed away. I came to the funeral to pay my respects, for I am very close with my Aunt and Uncle (who are my Godparents). After the services, we had lunch at a nearby restaurant. At one point in the lunch, my Uncle gave me $100 just because he thought I deserved it, which I tried to refuse, but he insisted. My Uncle and Aunt live near me so they told me to follow them home. Before leaving, I helped put some belongings into my My Uncle and Aunt’s car and my Uncle gave me a book he wanted me to read. As we’re driving home, I was directly behind my Uncle’s car and we were stopped in traffic. I then looked at my passenger’s seat and saw that the book my uncle gave me (which i thought I put there) was not on the seat. Thinking that I might have put it in the back seat, I turned around to see if it was in the back, during which time I took my foot off the break and I collided with the back of my uncle’s car. It felt surreal and I could not believe it, it being my first accident. My uncle’s car had some damage to its back and my Toyota Camry had some hood damage. I felt so bad, because my Godparents are nothing but nice to me and hear I am repaying them with a fender bender. They, of course, we’re extremely forgive full and didn’t call the police, because I had only had my license for a 2 moths and an accident would escalate the insurance. But they even said they would pay for the damages done to their car. My godparents are the best anyone could ask for, and I can’t help feeling terrible after what I did. Its embarrassing and frustrating.

How to tell the friend to for for their own stuff..?
