Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Ulorian - Agent of Chaos]

Popeye's Chicken once a week, like clockwork, every Thursday. I usually make myself a couple of burgers on Fridays but if I'm not in the mood to do it myself then I'll drive right past the Wendy's that's a 5 minute walk away, to hit a Harvey's that's maybe 5Km away. Other than that maybe once a month I'll swing by Thai Express, Taco Bell, or Subway. On a 3 pay month I might order a dinner for 3, from Mandarin, and then turn that into maybe 4 meals.

Actually, I get Subway maybe twice a year.

So, Vineland finally changed to a more accurate name, eh?

Oh god, the stupidity is happening offline now, too.

 

[overgeeked]

Gods the level of cope. Just let it go.

Nothing says that just because you're good with food, you're good with money.

There’s a phenomenon I discovered where people open restaurants, build up a clientele, then embezzle the money generated after a particularly lucrative event. I’ve seen it happen at least 3 times here in D/FW: that Irish pub, a Greek place, and a pub. It’s a long grift, and it demands some skill, but apparently, it’s effective.

Huh. Not what I'd have expected as the way to go there, but I suppose there's a lot of moving parts and finances in a serious restaurant, so you can sideline things and not have it noticed until you've disappeared over the horizon.

Delaying paying your bills to the last minute is a pretty normal state of affairs in the restaurant business, and there can be a lot of cash floating around (literally or physically), especially with something like St. Patrick's Day at an Irish pub. If you saw the walls closing in, taking the money and running wouldn't be hard.

Getting away with it indefinitely, that's hard.

Reminds me of the time Plato was talking in his academy (he was one of those academics who liked to hear himself talk) and was doing definitions, and said a man was an "an animal, biped and featherless" and Diogenes practically tripped over his own feet running to get a chicken, pluck all the feathers, and bring it back to the academy to display it and say, "Here is Plato’s man!" Never saw anyone as satisfied with his own wit!

EDIT: Before you ask, Plato amended his definition: "having broad nails." What a tool!
