- Given your, shall we say, intense like for fish eating people movies this surprises me. - spamlet Jul 18, 16:27 2
  - Actually, logic dictates the exact opposite. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 18, 16:29 1

- I think the "monsters inside and out" part of this kind of misses the point of the original -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 16:05 3

  - eh, it's Bryan Fuller. I'm in. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 18, 16:07 1

so in Batman 2, did he unbox all those screens and put up a ladder and do all the network wiring/coding himself? or did he have an IT guy? - Max Jul 18, 15:17 7
- He pressed the Easy button. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 15:46 1
  - You rang, Mr Wayne? -- nm - Nerd Herd, Subsidiary of Carmichael Industries si Jul 18, 15:59

  - the thing is, I'm pretty sure Fox had no idea what it was until it was explained to him. -- nm - Max Jul 18, 15:18 2
    - If the design was compartmentalized enough, it's possible it could have been Fox -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 15:26 1
      - (And as delved into in Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne *loves* compartmentalization) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 15:26
So against my better judgment I'm writing some things I want to tell my store manager. Can someone give me thoughts on what I've written? - Qale Jul 18, 15:16 16
- The new pepperoni pizza garlic bread looks really greasy. -- nm - JenBro Jul 18, 16:07

  - Thanks. I really hope that my speaking up doesn't get my nose cut off in spite my face. I really just want service to improve. Currently I... - Qale Jul 18, 15:37 4
    - If it takes too long people will call/walk/drive somewhere else. -- nm - the liioulu with fries and grilled cheese Jul 18, 15:39 3
      - Yeah. We got a 78 on our heath inspection yesterday too. And I'm not surprised. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 15:43 2
        
        Go for it. And you might want to add in how it will help impact that score and wait times positively. -- nm - the liioulu with fries and grilled cheese Jul 18, 15:46 1
        
        *nod* I jotted down some notes about the metrics we already use and how we're not hitting those marks and how this will help that. Thanks! -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 15:51
- Why aren't you a manager? You're thinking like one. - CovingtonCat Jul 18, 15:29 1
  - I guess I'm not one because I did the math and financially it doesn't work out. The argument against my ideas are going to be "labor." - Qale Jul 18, 15:34
- They look goof. #1 is confusing to me, but I suppose that's because I don't actually know what you're talking about and your manager will. -- nm - the liioulu with fries and grilled cheese Jul 18, 15:27 4
  - I understand what you mean. Basically if you walk into our restaurant, we don't really have menu boards overhead. - Qale Jul 18, 15:30 2
    - Yeah, that sounds bad. Makes it look like that's all you have. - the liioulu with fries and grilled cheese Jul 18, 15:32 1
      - Exactly. Nearly every person starts the conversation with... Do you have that thing I saw on TV. Spending 10 minutes describing that, or what toppings - Qale Jul 18, 15:35
  - goof = good. -- nm - the liioulu with fries and grilled cheese Jul 18, 15:28

- I object to the inclusion of Mahayla and Julissa. - the liioulu with fries and grilled cheese Jul 18, 15:04 2

  - It's getting to the point where I think we might have to start throwing money in the jar just for linking to Deadspin and their suite of sites. - Qale Jul 18, 14:50
