He is the masked terrorist with dual British citizenship that has been shown on all of the beheading videos issuing the threats to America and killing hostages. The US supposedly got him in a bomb strike yesterday

Peace out Jeff, back to the NL with you

Seems pretty coordinated and planned out to be in retaliation for something that happened yesterday

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 08:09 AM) A lot of people certainly seem to think adding a Reds or 2 will turn this mid 70s win team into a World Series contender. No, this is your strawman every time anything is discussed about a player with name value. Then you talk about trading eaton and starting Thompson and Saladino like that's gonna win a World Series. See how that works?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 07:51 AM) Those Braves are really stocking up. They have to have the best farm in baseball after all those deals the past year. They still are staring at Swisher and Bourn though, lol

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 07:34 AM) Ask yourself this, why would the 3 worst team in baseball get rid of the defensive player of the year this season? From what I have read, they fleeced the angels. They got a starting SS who isnt bad himself, and their top pitching prospects plus cash, and removed a 53 million dollar committment

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 11:21 PM) And that's exactly what the idea that 1 or 2 big FAs or trades will improve this team 10-15 games is. I'm trying to figure out how the Reds, loaded with heroes, suck so badly. Anyway, if you want to sign one of your hero outfielders, find away to move Dunn out, Melky can DH, and shift Eaton to LF and put Trayce in CF. That way we'd have a hero + excellent OF defense. Oh sure, that's what everyone wants to do is switch the entire roster with the Reds because of their plethora of heros.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 08:17 PM) I'm with you. Never did it. I've mixed drinks poorly but never did them dirty. At that pizza place however, before I left I found out they had two batches of sauce. Never ate there again after that. I saw some other drivers do bogus stuff, cooks too. Just not my thing, if I found out someone did that to me I would freak out. Customers did some s***ty stuff too though. We had this family order a large and say they found a hair in their pizza and demanded another. Our owner never questioned and always replaced, but we had to retrieve the bad pizza. The driver brought it back and we opened it, there was literally one bite left, and a curly hair in the middle of the box that was obviously from an African American person. There were no African American cooks in our kitchen at that time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 03:14 PM) A friend of mine delivered pizzas. He always remember who stiffed him. Next time they received a pie, he made a few awkward stops, their pie hit the car floor a couple of times upside down. I would think the servers would hate this even though they are getting a better wage. I always tip cash. There isn't a server in the world that reports all their tips to the IRS. One thing I didn't do was f*** with food. You may have gotten your pizza 45 minutes after you ordered it, but it wasn't peeling off the top of the box. Karma is a b****, I didn't want that to happen to me

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) Yeah f*** that. I let people know they were stiffing me everytime. I kept very delicate notes on repeat customers. I knew if they were cheap, I would wait around for another order to be up and takes theirs last regardless of when they ordered. Oh yea, we would let the tickets pile up for 10-15 minutes to try and get as many going the same way as possible if you knew you were going to the east side of town. Just hope that quantity will get you a little bit for going that way

Put him on that machine that cutler uses

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 11:58 AM) I delivered Pizzas in college briefly, this is how it worked for us: When the order was completed there was a cost associated. The driver then PAID the business for the order and collected from the customer the money back plus gratuity. If you were stiffed, no tip etc, it didnt matter. I was stiffed plenty of times and I ended up paying for that meal. This is pretty common across food delivery. I also made less than min wage there, I want to say 4-5 bucks an hour ours wasnt that bad we had a built in fee to the price of the food, at the bottom of the bill it would say "Delivery Fee - $1.00" or whatever it was. Where I got burned a lot was a coupon that we gave out called Q bucks, basically a dollar off your meal. People would pay with checks and underwrite the check a dollar, then put the Q buck on top of the check so i couldnt see. Thing is, i always looked at the check when i took it from people, i knew they were underpaying. So we always had this awkward "Yea, you didnt tip me but pretended you tipped me a buck" moment at the pizza/money exchange. Whatever, some people tip and some people dont, it is what it is. People who were on the delivery end of the transaction usually tip well because they hated the feeling of being stiffed. Some people dont tip because they feel they are paying enough as it is. Im not gonna change their minds by complaining about it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) All the more reason to get rid of tipping playing any role in their compensation. I remember American Life did a podcast on whether attitude/attentiveness changed the amount of the tip. They deliberately had the waiter be super flirty, nice, attentive, etc. and then they had them act the opposite. Not rude, but basically take the order, bring the food. That's it. And while it was only a few servers in one day at one restaurant, they found that how nice/attentive they were didn't mean anything. People are going to tip you how they're going to tip you. If you're a person that tips 15%, you could have the nicest experience ever and the server is still getting 15%. I hate all of it. Giving a pizza delivery guy a few bucks? Why? I paid a delivery fee. Why am I paying a waiter/waitress $40 bucks at a nice place for the same work that I pay someone $10 at a regular place? That sort of crap drives me nuts. I never saw that fee. That went directly to the owner

the U center is right in the middle of Chi-raq. People go in and never return. Those that return, are never the same
