In a boneheaded moment, I confused flight times and was on my way to the airport as the plane was boarding. @JetBlue customer service totally bailed us out and rebooked us on the next flight, 3 hrs later. #welldone and sincere thanks from my comfortable seat on a DCA-bound A220.
@libsoftiktok I wish these things weren't happening, especially near our nation's Capitol, but thank you for exposing them when they do. And I agree with your assessment - it is disgusting behavior.
The best servers & bartenders don't always migrate to the highest-paying places. A superior waiter / server who works at a pizza joint is like a playground basketball legend who never sniffs an NBA contract. In theory a $100 filet mignon should be brought to your table by a skilled, knowledgeable, friendly server. Then it might be worth the $20 or $25 tip. Only then does our tipping tradition hold together (maybe).
@RepMcGovern Such gravitas.
How 'bout starting with this:
1) punish & eliminate fraud & abuse in these assistance programs
2) appeal to people who receive aid to spend on nutritious/healthy food, then make it the only option: no soda, candy
3) enforce a work rule - no work (if able), no eats
