I was at Union Cattle Co in Hermosa Beach yesterday and the service sucked. We had 8 people at our table and we split it into 4 checks. The waitress - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 19, 17:43 7
- you could mention it to the manager? maybe they would reduce it? not sure. Possible she just quit trying cause she knew it was a lock - Epiphany Apr 19, 17:47
- Thats too bad, but usually restaurants will add the tip for parties greater than 6 - amoxy Apr 19, 17:45
- did the menu state "20% gratuity added for parties of 8 or greater" - pigby Apr 19, 17:44 4
  - Hmm probably. But the service just sucked. They should slap on 20% just because we had 8 people if the service sucked. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 19, 17:47 2
    - vote with your feet. - pigby Apr 19, 17:48 1
      - Yeah. Hermosa isn't that close either. I didn't pick the place. Probably should have talked to the manager but blah. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 19, 17:51

- It's her current hit, actually. Starting to pick up steam on radio. (and written by that One Republic dude) - Tim Apr 19, 17:49 2
  - Now that you say One Republic, I totally hear it -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 18:02 1
    - Um hmmm - yes. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 19, 18:03
- Did it not hit in the US? I know I heard it on the radio in Florida, but not sure if it caught on. - ty97 Apr 19, 17:44 1
  - I've never heard it here but that does not mean anything - I heard it 1st in Spin Class - Epiphany Apr 19, 17:45
- Yeah, very good dance. Also a good dance version out there too. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 19, 17:43

  - I actually used it as intended: To label my comic short boxes. -- nm - TWuG Apr 19, 17:45
- Yeah, I've seen about a dozen references to that movement in the past week. You really need a hobby if you get *that* worked up over a font. -- nm - TWuG Apr 19, 17:40 2
  - except that font -- nm - pigby Apr 19, 17:42 1
    - There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. There's a lot wrong with the people worked up over it. - TWuG Apr 19, 17:44

- I'm just curious why they haven't signed RVD to a deal before now. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 19, 18:25
- *SNAP* -- nm - Sid's Leg Apr 19, 17:28

  - How dare that 19-year-old only finish in the top 3 several times! - David Apr 19, 17:28 4
    - i've won just as many LPGA events as Michelle Wie. that should be worth at least $10 million in Nike money -- nm - pigby Apr 19, 17:29 3
      - How many top 3 finishes did you have by your 18th birthday? That may be a key. -- nm - David Apr 19, 17:31 2
        
        i can see how an Atlanta fan would want to ascribe greater meaning to top 3 finishes -- nm - pigby Apr 19, 17:32 1
        
        That doesn't even make sense. Stick with picking on teen girls. They're more your weight class. -- nm - David Apr 19, 17:35
