There’s nuance here. If it’s ‘bad’ as in like the meat is still raw, or there’s a lump of the chef’s hair wadded up in it, then yeah it’s refund time.

If it’s ‘bad’ as in they made it properly but you didn’t like it, just suck it up and don’t order it next time. It’s good to try new things, but you can’t expect all of them to be a banger. The number of people I’ve seen punish the restaurant for giving them exactly what they asked for is kinda bonkers.

Some of them went over the top the try to ‘make it right’. Dude I went to highschool with did this shit almost like it was a hobby. He’d call the customer support line and complain about whatever bullshit he could come up with - gummy lump in his drink, hard flake in his bag of chips that 'might have been a fingernail!… they’d take his number and address, and that was usually the end of it.

Then occasionally a box would randomly show up at his front door with like 50 bottles of soda or candy bars or w/e, and a letter apologizing for the trouble lol.

Manipulative little shit. And that was when we were like 14 years old… dude’s probably running his own organized crime ring nowadays. xD

Medical professional here!

…can it wait till I finish my coffee?

TIL I’m a woman in my early 30s.

AI didn’t turn out the way any of us imagined… Cuz it still remains limited to our imaginations. Fiction.

It didn’t turn out at all.

Get back to us when AI becomes a reality, and not just a hypermarketed spell checker that’s wrong occasionally.

No they didn’t - they were with me rocking some Halo CE splitscreen and gorging on Mountain Dew and pizza. It was an all-nighter, so they wouldn’t have had the time to be anywhere else.

Armed forces recruiting center. Usually in your local strip mall, between an adult store and the decaying skeleton of a Blockbuster.

…probably not a great idea though.

That’s it guys, wrap it up. Time to stop trying cause previous attempts didn’t work.

That’s the wrong takeaway. Trying the same thing repeatedly and facing failure every time doesn’t mean quit, it means try something different.

In this context, we have a presumed baseline of legal justice. The legal part isn’t working becuase the offender is above the law. So we can, as you suggested, wrap it up and do nothing; add more laws in the hopes that these people suddenly start being held legally accountable (which rhymes a lot with wrap it up and do nothing); or turn to vigilante justice.

So far we haven’t had the spine for the latter. I certainly don’t, and I’m assuming you’re in the same boat seeing as you’re doing the same thing (bitching fruitlessly into the void of the internet… what can I say, it’s therapeutic!).

As a glimmer of hope though, we did just see an active duty officer give a speech identifying Trump as a domestic enemy of the constitution, which they are oath-bound to engage the same way they do any other enemy of the US. That individual is probably in prison by now - that little maneuver broke a handful of laws under the UCMJ, but this is the first such act of defiance I’m aware of coming from an officer, so here’s hoping it prods other troops into actually taking their oath seriously instead of idly following the domestic enemy’s orders.

Probably still no, but, fingers crossed.

But laws? we’ve seen repeatedly that those don’t mean shit. We don’t need new laws. Actually enforcing the ones we already have would be plenty, but we’ve got years of precedent showing loud and clear that shit ain’t gonna happen.

Anywho, wishing anyone out there with the means and the spine the best of luck!

… I’ve worked with some pretty far gone red necks, and tbh I think they’d actually love that shirt.

What a great day to not be on call!

Unless you’re after that overtime money, in which case, cha-fuckin-ching!

Guess it’s kind of a win-win now that I think about it.
