A Happy Birthday Story With An Unhappy Ending
FOUND by Meat Kennedy
in Ithaca, New York
I found this a few months ago at a bus-stop. Apparently the staff do not understand that liquids don't go in rice boxes.

It's a real concern for a business owner. Repeat customers mean a lot.
Not all restaraunt employees choose that work as their career and care not at all about the patrons. Others may be incredibly incompetent. Managers must be ever vigilant. Anyone who has had the pleasure of kitchen work understands.
t was not in his nature to respond well to simple directives, and his boss, knowing this, always justified his orders by creating a parable to make them mor
I'm with you, DogBreath. For that reason I think a real-time staff announcement would be in order instead of just posting a long written message, that half the don't-care, this-is-just-a-job employees won't take the time to read. The ones guilty of putting liquids in the wrong containers particularly, since they're the ones can't be arsed to think logically about hot liquids in cardboard boxes.
It's just too bad (as far as repeat customers go) that none of the restaurant's employees got beyond "ATTN: ALL STAFF, ESPECIALLY" to read the rest of the sad birthday story.
And I hope this wasn't the Moosewood Restaurant.
1. I love the Moosewood!
2. Maybe, if they would have frozen the soup first, it wouldn't have spilled so bad.
C. I think it is a good thing that she wasn't wearing her "birthdaysuit" instead of her party dress.
I'm just sayin....
Soup in a basket for me, please.
Such a long story to make a point.
(Farmer, you always make my morning)
No boxes of soup for you!
Prior to translation:

Time to call Johnny Cochran.
Who knew SALT worked at Taste of Thai?
Baby Basil's right: none of the staff are going to read this bulletin. (much like no one is actually going to read Hiplains Grifter's entire [wow- politically incorrect much?!]post.)
If you can put wine in a box - why not soup?
The note is too long and is unreadable in ALL CAPS. People never get this. (Yes, I'm talking to YOU Kanye.)
A verbal announcement is better, or a more concise note.
p.s. The never-ending parade of skanks in the American Apparel ads (whose clothing, by the way, is hideous) are making me queasy.
It's funny- I'm on a smallish flatscreen monitor, set at 800X600. I open up Found Magazine and the FIND is featured in the center of my screen, the ads aren't even visible, unless I scroll over or up to see them. Sounds like I'm missing out.
I'm SO going to name my next born child Meat Kennedy.
As far as cool names on Found go, what ever happened to Tay Lizardo (in the Moon Solaris) and Tingle Boyjohnson? Best names EVER on Found.
Even if it is just a job, take pride in your work, it makes the day go by a little better and you'll get better tips.
That said, the Skanks in the AA ads need to go, everytime I open found at work, I'm worried my boss is going to walk in and yell at me for the half naked chicks.
Are you always such an asshole or did you forget to take your meds this morning?
ATTN: ALL STAFF
I AM GOING TO SHOUT AT YOU ENTIRELY IN CAPITALS
SO YOU BETTER LISTEN UP
GOT THAT?
AND IF YOU DON'T LISTEN I'LL UNDERLINE SOME THINGS AND MAYBE PUT SOME IN ITALICS TOO
THAT'LL SURE TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU'LL NEVER FORGET
thank you for your attention
@Hey - Trolls they come and they go. We don't feed them here.
Wow, that is a seriously long story. Super random.
The parallels to my life are uncanny.
My favorite restaurant is an Indian-Thai buffet, and my parents and I go there often. The whole staff knows me. I went there for my thirteenth birthday, but luckily no one packaged out leftovers incorrectly.
Also, I was born in Ithaca, New York.
I got take-out from an Indian place and they put my coconut rice dessert soup (forgot what that's called) in a take out box. I ended up with half to eat and half all over everything else in the bag. :(
