Update.

Still waitressing, bartending, cooking cooking cooking -- it's funny, one would think that I'd have more business coming in. But dammit, I'm determined! I WILL MAKE IT IN THIS EFFING INDUSTRY! Bring it on, world!

Food Makes People C R A Z Y !!

*sigh.

And people wonder why I think the restaurant industry is both frightening and amusing at the same time.


From firstcoastnews.com ::

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- An unhappy Subway customer called 911 not once, but twice to complain to police that his sandwich was not made to his liking.

Reginald Peterson called the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office in hopes that police could have his sandwich made to his satisfaction.

A short time later, Peterson contacted JSO again to complain that police still had not shown up.

When police did arrive Peterson told the officer he had ordered two sandwiches, checked out, and then walked outside to find the subs did not have "everything" he ordered.

He told police he became "very upset" and "belligerent" because the employee making the sandwich was not doing it correctly.

Witnesses inside the store say Peterson eventually started screaming at everyone inside. When Peterson went outside to call police. Employees closed the store and locked the door to keep him from returning.

According to the report, the officer tried to calm Petterson and explain to him the proper way to use 911, but he would not cooperate.

Peterson was arrested and at his request the sandwiches were thrown away.



I've said it before, and I'll say it again: A) I fear for the future and B) Stupid people should not procreate. However, I'm going to add this new insight -- Floridians are IDIOTS. First hanging chads, now this? An earthquake should just separate it from the rest of the country and send it out to sea already.

(By the by: any of you who think I'm serious about hating people from Florida really need to pull that stick out from your ass)





And reporting from CNN.com ::

PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A New York man who pleaded guilty to murder in Oregon in exchange for buckets of fried chicken will get calzones and pizza to go with his life sentence.

Tremayne Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder -- but only if he got a break from jail food.

Tremayne Durham, 33, of New York City, admitted last month that he fatally shot Adam Calbreath, 39, of Gresham, in June 2006. Durham wanted to sell ice cream and ordered an $18,000 truck from an Oregon company. He later changed his mind, but the company wouldn't provide a refund.

The would-be ice cream man came to Oregon and killed Calbreath, a former employee of the company, while looking for its owner, authorities said.

Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder -- but only if he could get a break from jail food. The judge agreed and granted Durham a feast of KFC chicken, Popeye's chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake and ice cream.

After Wednesday's sentencing, Durham was to get the rest of the deal -- calzones, lasagna, pizza and ice cream, his defense attorney confirmed. They will pay the tab.

Durham also got married Wednesday in a civil ceremony at the Portland courthouse. The wedding to Vanessa Davis, 48, also of New York City, was not part of the plea deal that will give Durham a chance for parole after 30 years.

Deputy District Attorney Josh Lamborn said Multnomah County Judge Eric Bergstrom made the right call in allowing the unusual plea agreement because it saved the expense of a trial and possible appeals.




I wish I could've been a fly on the wall when that deal went down.

Scene: Outside of the UPS Store in the nearby strip mall, about 1:00 pm
Imagine a petite Asian woman carrying a box about half the size of her own body, attempting to pull open a door while balancing said box on a knee. That's right. Standing on one leg, using one hand to hold a big, freaking heavy box, and a door. For about five minutes before someone came to help.

If it wasn't me, I probably would have laughed my ass off.
