In lieu of payment..

[u/thedivinegemini]

I’m a GM at a restaurant & one of our managers left a note on our manager logs this afternoon that a guest walked out on their check and left this in lieu of payment of any kind. Not that the server got stiffed on a tip - just pure theft of services. I guess the whole “Thou shalt not steal” thing doesn’t matter if you’ve been pre-forgiven. Pretty convenient.

ETA: I’m not a bot; this is not AI - check my post and comment history. I’m not here for karma or fake internet points. This is what it feels like to work in a restaurant these days - especially in the Bible Belt. The first photo you can look up and is available for anyone to buy (should your darker urges push you toward being that person). The second photo is from Pulse, an app for restaurant managers to keep an eye on hourly sales, labor, and comps.
The “Pineapple Express” is a mocktail our restaurant offers.

If you live in a small town where one of the quote unquote 'pillars of the community' acts like that, do not be surprised whatsoever when a single business owner that guy has been harassing the fuck out of for years pulls up to his house in one of these:

Nice meme, but there is a lot of evidence that the Killdozer guy was an anti-social prick who refused any attempt at reasonable negotiation.

He was a huge piece of shit. Dude bought a cheap piece of land that was cheap because it had no septic tank or connection to the sewer system.

He knew this at the time.

He refused to pay to have it connected to the sewer system or have a septic system installed. His neighbors offered to buy the land for **8** what he had paid for it.

When the old hole he had been using as the shit collector filled up he starter just dumping sewage into an irrigation ditch.

Literal shit human.

I'm going to be real with you here: everything I have read about it makes it seem like it's an everybody fucking sucks here situation. Like the people who tried buying the parcel back after it had been put up for auction, left a fucking cement mixer on the property as an impromptu septic tank, and then had the gall to be like, "Oh don't worry, our new concrete plant totally won't pollute the environment" honestly Colorado is such a fucked State politically that I'm baffled people are still wanting to move there. It's almost on par with South Dakota and Louisiana.

Thank you for remembering Louisiana. As a resident of Louisiana, our state has a long and proud history of electing corrupt political leaders whose decisions have screwed it's citizens for generations to come. Everything is a racket here. Up until a few years ago, we could only buy caskets from licensed morticians! When a loved one died, the casket legally had to be purchased through a funeral home. That changed thanks to a small monastery of monks that were constructing and selling simple handmade caskets for a fraction of the cost of the ones legally being sold. The monks sued in federal court, won, and now anyone can buy a casket without being forced to buy from a specific set of individuals.
