Oakland Ballers won their independent league championship. Down 0-2, they won't next three games. There is good baseball in Oakland.

Had to correct autocorrect again. It was not Oakland Ballet.

Went disc golfing this morning at Dabney. A couple weeks ago I lost a disc on 14 in a new wet area created by the Parks inability to put drainage in the road/rock placement.
But have no fear...I already a new disc of the same model in my cart. Today, I lost that disc in the same ******* area.

Wow, this story sure has changed over the past 24 hours.

Yesterday morning it was, Mark Sanchez attacked, stabbed in chest, in hospital fighting for his life.

To...

Mark Sanchez got really fucking drunk and attacked an old man.

Looks like his broadcasting career is over quicker than his NFL one was.

This is not really sports but. .

A 23-year-old Starbucks barista at Portland International Airport was arrested Tuesday morning after what police described as a "gratuity blow-up" that disrupted terminal traffic.

Witnesses say the barista had just prepared a $47 order of lattes, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries for a family rushing to catch a flight. When they declined to tip on the payment screen, she allegedly shouted, "You'll drop hundreds on plane tickets but nothing for the person keeping you awake?"

When the customers tried to grab their order and leave, police say she hurled a hot latte across the counter, splashing onto one traveler's carry-on bag. She then vaulted over the counter and blocked the exit, demanding they add a tip before boarding.

Airport police arrived within minutes and arrested her on charges of assault and disorderly conduct.

The meltdown caused such a backup in the concourse that TSA briefly closed one checkpoint, delaying multiple flights by nearly 20 minutes.

I'm becoming less accepting of tipping culture. When I spend six or seven bucks per coffee on four or five coffees I expect that place to be paying a decent wage.

I agree. Places/people who are asking for tips continues to grow. It's getting ridiculous.

A suspect was arrested in murder of Laney coach. Apparently targeted but motive unclear as ha doesn't have any obvious ties to victim.

I dont mind tipping, I hate the direct and indirect ways they are doing to tip shame and also guilt you into tipping more.

I.e. now it starts at 18% instead of 10%. On the screen itll do that, and its sad. People should be making decent wage but instead have leaned all the way into tipping culture.

But then again, this country couldnt give a shit about the human being, but thats for another thread.

It's not the wages that suddenly got more expensive for OT Forum reasons.
