Tbf, they're not necessarily sentimentalizing them per se.

Vince MechMahon posted:How? Smashing a thing you already paid for does nothing at your own expense. Stealing silverware gives you free silverware at the expense of the restaurant. Unless you're suggesting that dine and dash to not pay for the meal is the only ethical way to eat at a chain restaurant, which I agree with. gently caress em. The problem with Dine and dash is, its probably just a tax write off for the owner, be they corporate or just some random local person who pays franchise fees to corporate. But the less than minimum wage schlub server probably has to pay for that meal from their pocket/tips.

it's a bizarre and desperate leap to change the goal posts from "stealing silverware is ok" to "oh so is assault ok??" and it is also a bizarre and desperate leap to change the goal posts from "stealing poo poo is trashy" to "oh so you're DEFENDING wage theft and reporting them to the police??" they're two age old disingenuous internet argument strategies that anyone with a brain can see through in a microsecond

I never had it happen to me when I worked in a restaurant, so I don't know, but even in the event that it doesn't, you still lose the tip from that service, and tips are what wait staff work for.

MAKE NO BABBYS posted:This might genuinely be the strangest post I have ever read. That is a really bizarre leap to make. Look, all I as trying to ask was that if the poster I was responding to, Pip something, decides that based on a personal evaluation of a restaurant's moral worth they can commit what would otherwise be petty theft, does that extend to actual persons, and crimes against them? Because I think the end result of that is the bad kind of anarchy. But HGB told us to close the subject. For continuing it, I deserve a probe or possibly a sock in the nose.

I really wonder how people even manage the energy to be so excited about Christmas every year that they can be completely immersed in it starting in September if they aren't a boomer. Like as boomers die off are we still going to be saddled with this or will the market finally dry up for all this excessive poo poo? Or am I just cynical and there's legit people who enjoy this?

Sadly I’m a Halloween person but at least I have the wherewithal to keep it in October (and the first two days of Nov because hellooooo cheap discounted spooky year round decor). But I get if people aren’t into Halloween nor am o going to shove it down their throat or insinuate a psychotic “war” on it

There is no War on Christmas, Christmas is a garbage holiday where Boomers attempt to hold on to the last time they experienced joy, as a result Christmas creeps more into the calendar every year. I've seen Christmas poo poo on the shelves half way through October for the last few years, it's only a matter of time before Christmas starts on July 5th. Christmas must be destroyed

The only christmas song anyone needs is "I'm Getting Nuttin' For Christmas" and anyone playing another song during the season is bourgeois. I don't care that its older than your grandparents, its a great song.

I’m a big Christmas guy myself, but I can’t stand it when poo poo goes up and terrible canned music starts playing months in advance. The only types I know that love having Christmas stuff up for effectively half the year are southern evangelicals (not just boomers). I didn’t know a demand for year round Christmas shops was a thing until I saw them myself down there.

A few years ago I spent two weeks of December in Israel. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed not being blasted with Christmas music until I landed at JFK and it was constantly playing over their lovely intercom speakers.

I'm positive if my dad didn't stop her, my mom would start celebrating the next year's Christmas on December 26th. Formerly he kept her from decorating until Black Friday, but the last few years they've been putting the tree up in late October

shoeberto posted:This is my experience with my dad, who legit had a poo poo childhood and Christmas was the only bright spot, but it's like instead of getting therapy he just leans *super* hard in to poo poo like this. It's just hard to not assume we're inundated with Christmas because 1) lots of broken people cling to it as some sort of feel-good drug and 2) corporations profit massively from the consumerism angle of it. But of course that's me projecting my experience - I don't have kids, which from what I understand, changes the whole experience quite a lot. Nah, Christmas is a holiday for Capitalism. The corporations have spent decades crystalizing the idea that the more you spend, the more you love someone, and Christmas is the time of year to demonstrate that. So instead of actually giving a meaningful gift, it's just a pile of useless trinkets and other garbage that leaves the other person disappointed because they spent $300, and you brought a $30 board game.
