dlip has been 86'd from the site at work...****! So he is left to review multiple pages when he returns from work, son of a bitch. Anyway some thoughts:

-JU the cashier was a douche and honestly dlip wouldn't even return to that ****in place. If you do you should "donate" the 98 cents to the establishment by dumping it on the counter and walking out with a HUGE ****ing smile!

-dlip feels that if we mention MUC we should consider calling them CON (Christ of Nazareth). Of course this would be just for fun since dlip concurrs CON posters are very cool and knowledgeable and he also has a ton of respect for CON.

-dlip can't believe the site has actually been blocked from his computer at school, well dlip shouldn't have been on it there anyway.

-+k to the last two pages because the LLPP is ****ing superb!

Erroneous.  You've obviously never been to any Bruegger's nevermind the one in Brookline.  The bagels are superb.

dlip hears yeah Terd, he sweats the Cinnamon Raisin Bagels from Bruggers among other places. 98 cents in change from an impolite cashier might just make dlip drive to the next closest Brueggers though

Since KS will be busy tomorrow.

November 11 is the day set aside to honor all Veterans of the Armed Forces of United States of America living and dead.  While we remember our fallen comrades who have paid the ultimate price today is also to thank our living Veterans for their service to our great nation.  Here is wishing all veterans a happy Veterans Day and many more and thank you for all you have done and all you are doing.

Right with ya on this KS. Honestly dlip just feels so indebted to all who have served and are serving today. These people are the true heroes of this nation and should be celebrated everyday in dlip's opinion. +k KS!

Just wondering why both the Union Web Site and ATREast are making such a big deal about Coney having 1,004 yards.....didnt he run for like 1400 or 1500 last season?

[redswarm81]

So JU goes into a Bagel Place today to get a coffee (Brugers Bagels).  I get a large coffee and thats it.  The lady rings me up, and it comes to $2.02.  So I reach into my pocket and have no change, just 3 one dollar bills.  So I look around the counter to see if there is one of those penny holders that many places have so people don't have to waste their time swapping loads of coin and whatnot.  Anyway, I don't see any penny holders but there is a tip glass with tons of pennies and change.  But no, what does this d-bag do?  Takes my $3 and starts to go through the till for 98 cents in change.  Thats right, instead of just reaching into the tip jar and just putting 2 ****ing cents into the register, she goes the whole ****ing 9 yards and gives me 98 cents in change.

But wait, theres more.  Right before she drops 13 coins into my palm, she grabs the ****ing RECEIPT and throws it in my hand and then drops the ****ing coins on top of the ****ing receipt like a ****ing paper weight!  Nothing pisses JU off more than cashiers giving me a receipt for something stupid like coffee, gum, or a coke.  These ****holes should ask if you want a receipt and not assume you want it.

Rant ****ing over.

I don't understand tip jars/glasses in places like that anyway.  The menu says $1.75 for a CUP of coffee, and $0.99 for a SLICED bagel, plus $0.39 for a SCHMEAR.  So you give me the cup, along with the sliced bagel and schmear, and I pay you.  What's the tip for?  You didn't refill my glass, you didn't bring me extra salsa or bread, you didn't do anything other than exactly what I already paid for--what's with the tip jar?

+k...exactly pbr appreciates the ones who ask if u want a receipt. really why the f would pbr want a receipt for a pack of gum pbr bought....this is why pbr really likes patronizing the locally owned shops. most of those owners would of said dont worry about the .02....that is what keeps people coming back and they end up making more in the long run. the franchises never offer that and you get a brass knuckle of coins back. and who needs pennies anyway? really just round the ish up and pbr will pay the xtra few cents not to have to carry the annoying pennies around and the govt can stop stamping them and save money...

Gentlemen,

I share your concerns, and never understand why they don't just eat the 2 cents (well, actually, I do, having worked in retail my adult life, cashiers are programmed not to think). I think the bigger issue is, why do pennies still exist? Hell, I'd even eliminate the nickel. Dime's can stay for a while, but their time is short in my mind as well.

But the real question is, what are you guys doing still using cash?

Exactly.  Get rid of them.  They're 98% zinc.  Why can't the environmentalists get in an uproar about metal contamination of the soil and zinc-borne illnesses? 

$2.02 in cash?  Are you crazy?  In Roxbury's favorite bagel joint?  I don't even understand why you're using debit cards.  Get that Costco AmEx, with the minimum 1% rebate (3% on restaurants including Brugger's Bagels), and float that $2.02 in your 1.75% high yield checking account at the credit union until the bill is due.

Of course that may mean that you don't get a 4 cent tip on top of your $7.25 hr wage.....but that's what they invented college for.

Good line.

Whoa, easy there on the assumptions. Especially in this economy. If you're working in food service or retail, that doesn't automatically mean you're uneducated. I took a second job in retail for three years to help make ends meet after some personal $h!t went down.

No....you worked in retail because you graduated from Susquehanna.

Sorry Grove, wrong week to say you worked in retail.

Finally, about time we found something to bitch about those tip grubbing bastages from Scrotch. I knew they were up to something with being all nice and sh*t, now I know it was just a cover to try to grub extra coins from the LL folks. Damn, they almost had me fooled. Thanks U89 (although even you had to apologize to them, damn those nice bastages!)

Time to kick some Scrotch a**! Dlip them, it's on!

[mattvsmith]

The Rev is all about getting rid of pennies, too.  At military installations they don't use them.  Everything is either rounded up or down to the nearest nickel.

The Rev would ask Congress to pass a law that made all prices, taxes, etc.,  end in 0 or 5, so that no matter what combination it would work out.

Pennies cost more to produce then their face value.  They are only around because too many people can't let go of obsolete things.

Yes... round every transaction in amurrica up to the nearest 0 or 5, but deposit the remaining cents into gro's secret bank account. It's all starting to come together, mwaa haa haa haaaaaa

[PBR...]

alright since everyone on the LLPP thinks a tip jar at a wedding is cheesy and not classy pbr suggests if/when this happens at a wedding next time take the tip jar and make it rain like these doods did at their wedding....

     TAMPA, Fla.,  Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Police said dollar bills
thrown on the dance floor during a Florida wedding reception
led to a brawl that spread to a nearby hotel.
     Investigators said the groom, Markeith Brown, threw the
dollar bills onto the dance floor for children to collect, a
practice rappers call "makin' it rain," and along
with his brother confronted a guest who criticized the practice
at the Rusty Pelican Restaurant in Tampa, the St. Petersburg
(Fla.) Times reported Tuesday.
     The confrontation grew into a fight that spread among
guests and spilled into the restaurant's parking lot. Police
said one intoxicated man was hit on the head with a brick.
     Officers said Malcolm Anthony Hepburn, 30, a convicted
felon who was not at the wedding, heard his cousin had been hit
by a brick and confronted members of Brown's family at the
Residence Inn shortly after the reception fight.
     Hepburn allegedly attacked Brown's father, Andrew
Thompson, 47, while a female accomplice allegedly put her hands
around the neck of Brown's grandmother, Mary Wright, 74, and
threatened to choke her.
     Police arrived and Hepburn was charged with felony
battery, carrying a concealed firearm, grand theft of a
firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.  His
alleged female accomplice was identified by police but not
immediately arrested.
     Brown was not charged by police and left with his new
bride on a cruise.

DewCrew,
Can you help me understand why some reporters feel the need to add information such as "a practice rappers call "makin' it rain"" to their articles?  
Seriously, what value did that add to the article?  Do you think some 78 year old lady in tampa is now that much more intellegent that she now knows what it's called when rappers throw money in the air?

Secondly, I urge all LLPP members to read the following article.....I honestly cannot believe the washington post published this.... I'd love to hear everyones thoughts on this!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/17/AR2009051702053.html

BTW- my favorite line of the article "The poor pay more in hassle: the calls from the bill collectors, the landlord, the utility company. So they spend money to avoid the hassle. The poor pay for caller identification because it gives them peace of mind to weed out calls from bill collectors. "....what a brilliant idea....

Interesting article Reg. All dlip knows is when reading **** like this he feels very lucky to have what he has. dlip has simple thoughts on this ****, if one is working and trying their best to be productive, raise their families, and do what is right, dlip will always do what he can to help them. People who don't work and sit on their ass, ****'um.

I'll go easy on assumptions, but let's be real....I haven't worked for minimun wage since I was under legal working age....you expect me to believe that it is acceptable to do it now?
One assumption I will make is that if you are educated and working retail, that you should have no problem working your way up in the organization....not punching keys or flipping burgers.  

I certainly hope you didnt come to this thread for sympathy.

Well, congratulations to you. You must be perfect and your career and life must be on a completely straight and upward path. Way to go, dude.

I sure as hell didn't come here for sympathy but I wanted to offer a little perspective, which clearly went over your head. I'm sorry my imperfect life offended you.

PS - U89 and Doid, thanks for the chuckle, at least.

I gotta agree with Grove man here.  Some people just don't understand that it IS a difficult time, and jobs are not plentiful for a lot of people and some markets are way worse than others.  Unfortunately, bills still have to be paid, so people do what they have to do...not that selling bagel's at Bruegger's is where I would go first...

Ditto.

BTW Vets should not forget the food chains offering them a free meal or food today, and later this week.  JT is taking Dad to MCCormick and Schmick's for lobster on Sunday.
