If there was any justice in that situation it would've played out like your avatar:
"Did you blame the victims, or call into question their motives, in any way?"
"Well, yeah, but..."
"You're fired."
Fence guy -- not the asshole, get the money or the new fence
17 items guy -- definitely the asshole, quit breaking the rules and then playing the victim
I mentioned upthread that I saw the same tour in Houston at Rice Stadium. As I recall Dokken got a bit rained out which was fine, because they sucked. Metallica came out and destroyed everything. Security was blasting the crowd with hoses and water to keep us all alive during their set. Scorps were great on that particular night and the crowd was super into their set. VH tore it up of course. The midday stadium-wide trash fight was clearly the big winner that day, however.
I don't get this take. There's no one else parked in the curbside spaces. There are plenty of spaces to choose from if someone ordered curbside. In a busy location it's a dick move, but when there's no real demand I don't see why they can't be used. So the argument that the OP's time is more valuable than another customer's is negated -- there is no other customer.
Also, the reality is that full curbside parking doesn't inconvenience customers whatsoever. If you order curbside, and all of the curbside spaces are taken when you get there, you just park in a normal space and tell them to come to your space instead. It might inconvenience the worker (who is getting paid to walk your shit to and from the store), but not the customer.
Surly never disappoints. I was just thinking about the OP's predicament last night when I went to the pet store to get dog food, and was wondering if there would be a thread about it. This site is like the real-time Seinfeld writer's den.
It was about half hour before closing, parking lot deserted. I debated about parking in one of the 6 curbside delivery spots until I realized it was idiotic not to park in one of those spaces. I was gone within 4 minutes, and no cars showed up. I think those spaces have outlived their utility as I've never seen them fully utilized at any time of day. Grocery stores and some restaurants are exceptions; curbside delivery spots make sense there.
I remember a thread on the old site arguing about what a reasonable tip is for carry out. Derka I'm pretty sure you were giving out good advice on that thread too. It was the most divisive thread this side of Applewhite vs Simms.

JWhitt is way up there on my favorite Horns list. He busts his ass, blocks like a motherfucker, bleeds burnt orange, jukes fools all day, and seems to be all about the team. So badass he's returning.
