That whole thing makes me want to cry, when my grandfather was still alive he needed help with some things and WE helped him. It was our job as his family to help him, I just feel so bad about the old man that his stupid, ignorant, entitled "family" can't be bothered to help him. I just wanna cry now.

Once again, Jester proves he is full of "Win", as the young folks say. Remember to be on the look-out for his new album, "Jester: Songs of the Bar Gods".
Now, my take on the matter is that if they had explained in advanced that the elderly gentleman would need the sandwich cut up when they had ordered it, perhaps the kitchen could have accommodated him. Not only didn't they take this step, but they seemed to harbor a misconception among many SCs: If you give a person money, no matter how small or what it was originally paying for, all employees of that company must now attend to the SCs every whim. This "family" (and I only use the term as, technically, that is what they are, though they did not behave as such) is woefully misinformed as to their knowledge of the services a member of the wait-staff should be expected to do.

Quoth underemployeed View PostI feel bad for that poor old guy I bet the daughter told her husband "SEE, I knew we shouldn't have taken dad out for his birthday, I mean REALLY they expected us to feed him..... UHHHHHHHH, idiots can't understand that is why we lock him at the nursing home"Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

But seriously, the album in question will be a spoken word album, with no songs, as I have all the singing ability of an albino transvestite crippled arthritic slug. I can do an amazing Bob Dylan impression, but yeah, I am far more impressive speaking than I am singing. Witness my DJ career and the intimidating commentary I laid down on of several teenage boys who were dating or attempting to date my nieces.

Quoth Jester View PostPrecisely. I often say about my karaoke career that I can't sing, but I can do a Bob Dylan impression. Luckily, Bob can't sing either!Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

I have only ever (voluntarily) had someone do backup for me twice. Once, a dude brought a harmonica, and played it in all the appropriate parts of "Like A Rolling Stone." It was awesome. The other time, in the karaoke bar back in Phoenix that I frequented, there was a dude who often did Guns n' Roses songs, as he did a mean Axl. One day, he and I, as Axl and Bob, did a killer rendition of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." We brought the house DOWN.
Sadly, I have often involuntarily had backup, as people will often jump on stage and start singing along with whoever's there, just because they think that that is appropriate and okay. Which, of course, it isn't.

I don't make peoples' ears bleed when I sing country..but anything else and no guarantees (about ears bleeding that is). I am not the biggest fan of country, but it is the only type of song that I don't sound like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Oh and gospel..I am passable at gospel.
However, this may sound odd..when I .. feel the song ..I've been told I can actually sing..have my doubts..but meh. I tend to get lost in the song, though, when that happens.Engaged to the amazing Marmalady. She is my Silver Dragon, shining as bright as the sun. I her Black Dragon (though good honestly), dark as night..fierce and strong.

I think I would have been tempted to accidentally on purpose spill the lady's drink in her lap. Then again there's a reason why I'm not a server. Working retail for too darn long has made me despise the general public. I have even less respect for someone who would treat a family member like that.
As for my singing, I'm not good enough that people would pay to listen to me, but I'm not so bad that they'd pay to get me to shut up, either.Question authority, but raise your hand first. -Alan M. Bershowitz

Quoth Lyse View PostI have had a restaurant cut my steak to me - I believe the cook did it. However, I was a regular, on good term with the wait staff, eating alone and had my arm in a sling. Oh - and she offered when she realized I was ordering something I usually didn't eat because I couldn't cut the meat myself.Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

Personally, I hope that the family was mislead by a lawyer to believe that the old man in the wheelchair is filthy rich and this is they're way of making out well in the will. Only to find out when he passes that they've inherited nothing because he was dirt poor.
Similar to what Matt Damon's character in Rainmaker did for his landlady.
