Just above Giant is Dutton Mill Rd and then Middletown Twp, but the line slants so there are a couple streets on the other side of Edgemont. There are a lot of nice hoods southwest of Giant over to Creek Road, as far south as Brookhaven Road.

If you ever worked at a Burger King you would not eat their food. I doubt that you would work there, but you might know someone that does and you could ask them.

If their kitchen practices turn you off you couldn't have lived with my first wife.

I was the same way about working at Sonic. Didn't eat from a Sonic for over a year after I got fired.

Worse than school lunches?

Doesn't working in pretty much any restaurant in the USA make you want to cook from scratch at home forever? Even where I work we have doubleplusgood people working in the kitchen prepping the food, but we have counter staff who are too stupid to understand hygiene rules or just don't give a shit. :/

Back in the Old Country, I worked in Fish n Chip shops when I was a student and we all were ON IT, even when we thought no-one was looking. But if you fucked up and go the place in trouble with the health inspector, you would never get a job in food service again. Here, no-one will give a reference for fear of getting sued, so if you get fired for serving a customer a home-grown poop patty in place of the burger they ordered, no-one else is going to know and you can walk straight into the next place....

Hey! So did I!

Today I learned you actually need to give permission for Forbes to include you on their "richest people" lists. None of the Rothschild family, for example, have ever appeared. So many of the richest people exclude themselves that the lists are almost meaningless, more like a "Who's Who" of the top 1,000 people desperate to be famous for being rich.

Did not know that.

Wow, that really devalues the whole notion.

Gravdigr · 04-28-2018, 04:06 PM

I've always declined. Seems gauche.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-28-2018, 08:21 PM

Eh, some attention whores, some figure it's sorta public knowledge anyway, and some don't give a rats ass.

I decline because my lawyer, Michael Cohen, told me to stop paying taxes.

DanaC · 04-29-2018, 01:34 PM

Did he offer to pay the taxes for you?
