  1. From my experience, Papasitos on Sunday morning at 11:30 was the nexus of their universe. I think they'd all meet there and test out new ways to find ordering loopholes and work the waitstaff over, all with the end goal of savings $0.75. Then they'd take their new learnings and go execute on the rest of the city. Wood nailed it--Sunday morning was the worst. Slammed the entire shift, but somehow I'd end up with less tips than a random Wednesday night. 18 drinks refills of their free waters or $2 cokes/teas would earn me a shiny quarter.
  2. I've got 3 young boys, and my wife are on the same page as far as letting them make their own decisions in life. But I am going to insist that all 3 have both manual labor and experience in the food service industry under their belt before they finish college. Opens your eyes to what real work is and how to treat other people.
  3. I did about a 9 month stint at the Austin Papasitos back in the late 90's, and it always amazed me at how many repeat customers we'd get that were surprised by the menu prices. They's bitch on comment cards or leave shitty tips with a note on the receipt. And I bet half of what I served were enchiladas, which happened to be the cheapest thing on the menu. Why would you wait for 30-45 minutes to eat at Papasitos and then order fucking enchiladas? Always puzzled me. Anyway, my favorite customer memory was this heffer that came in with her fatass husband and scarfed down 3 bags of chips with a large queso. Then they ordered chicken fajitas and specifically asked to not pour butter on it (yes, butter was poured before serving and a little cup was put on the skillet) because "she didn't need those extra calories". The chicken is served with the skin on, so I asked if she wanted me to have them cut the skin off the chicken as well. Nope, she was good with the skin. Great--less work for me and the kitchen. So I put the order in and call out no butter, and it comes out with the butter in the cup but not poured on the chicken. She throws a fucking fit. "I asked for no butter! It's not that hard to understand. Take this back and get it right." I explained to her that there is no butter on the chicken or any of her food, but it was left on the side in case her husband wanted it for something. "No, he doesn't need butter either. It's ridiculous that butter is even served with fajitas." OK, well how about I just take this to the back and get it off the table? "No, some might have spilled on our food. Take the whole thing away and bring us a completely fresh one." I just laughed and told them I'd bring them a fresh bag of chips so they wouldn't go hungry while waiting on a fresh food order. Husband's glare told me he was not amused by my comment, but he didn't have the heart to explain it to his wife.
  4. So fucking in. I'm a fan of the whole series. 2 was weak, but 3 kicked all kinds of ass, and the others are just good popcorn flicks.
  5. Those are some fucked up teeth
  6. And that's why they get paid the big bucks.
  7. We eat fast food exactly one time per year, and that is every summer in Salida, CO on the tail end of an all-day drive into Crested Butte. We stop at the McDonalds for some fries and a cone before heading out for the final 2 hour stretch. The kids think they've died and gone to heaven.
  8. Unlimited scholarships are fun!
  9. Wrong fucking thread. LOL thread is -------> that way
  10. That was funnier than the GIF
  11. Jesus, his neck looked like it was about to snap.
  12. Tacky Hawaiian shirts have collars, so there will be at least one shirt with a collar in my suitcase.
  13. I'll be honest, I had no idea bears lived in India
  14. Same question. I thought back on Shaggy someone said they used USA Transfers for transfer from airport to hotel and back and everything worked out great. When I booked booked with them I stated our dropoff and pickup point was Ixchel. As I'm looking over the confirmation, they only pickup and dropoff at the ferry terminal--not to the hotel. What's the best way to get to and from the hotel for ferry dropoff/pickup?
  15. Good tip. Thanks. Just called my bank and they said max 4 days. I'm guessing I should plan on using cash at all the hotels and bars in town. Seems like the easiest and safest path.
  16. Do you guys exchange money at a Cancun airport ATM? Seems like an easy way to become a mark. Of course, exchanging at an airport on the US side seems like an easy way to pay an awful exchange rate.
  17. The wife and I have been on a bit of a Trivial Pursuit kick the past couple of months. I use this one a bit too much.
  18. Definitely my favorite way to refer to tits. I use it often, even if I just think it.
  19. He was racing home to go post on the "Stupid Shit my wife does" thread.
  20. "Shake It Off" and "Call Me Maybe" are fucking catchy.
  21. Last time we went to Bartlett's, granted this was a couple of years ago, we went specifically for the chicken fingers. Were told we could only order them secretly at lunch now. Hopefully they've changed that.
  22. That was a legit LOL for me
  23. 3 picks in 20 minutes...against the scout team D, which now Daylon Mack is apparently a member of. But it wasn't his fault because it hit 6ft 1in Daylon in the helmet. But the point of all of that was to point out Jimbo's attention to detail because Starkel's chin was in the wrong position and he noticed a 300+lb offensive lineman fucking collapsed and almost died on the field? He sounds like a regular Sherlock Holmes. Jesus fucking Christ.
  24. That is pretty good advice on Paris. Are you into history? The Churchill War rooms in London are pretty fascinating, and there is a Churchill museum at the end. I killed about 3-4 hours there, and realistically I could have spent more except that my back started to hurt. You could go catch a show in West End one night. See if you can find football...er, soccer...tickets to one of the local clubs.It doesn't have to be one of the big ones like Arsenal or Chelsea. You'll have a good time. Fulham has a nice little stadium. As does Crystal Palace. I enjoyed running through Hyde Park. I also enjoyed riding around town on the top of a tour bus. I also stopped in a LOT of random pubs.

    2018 Shart Thread

    This was always one of the more entertaining threads on Shaggy, but I really don't understand how grown-ass adults shit their pants. My 6 year old has a problem with it. I don't expect the same after about 4th grade.
