Our local newspaper has a separate appendage called "Insider",
whose target
audience is 21-30 years olds, and has articles about how to not
avoid
injuring yourself while picking your nose. Another recent gem
examined ways
of getting from Rochester to NYC (plain, train, car) and advised
readers
that you could get to NYC by car in 5 to 5-1/2 hours (impossible
unless you
ARE a state trooper).

The restaurant reviews have pretty much NO info on the food, but
they do
contain this:

Where's the restroom? For men, it's in the bar area, before you get
to the
reservation desk but beyond the rolling coat rack. For women, it's
right off
the dining area.

Are there actually people who walk into a restaurant and can't ask
where the
rest room is?


Must be the same target audience as those young idiots working at
the
fast food restaurant drive-throughs* or supermarket checkouts, the
ones
I refer to as the post-literates. Interesting that your newspaper is
targeting an age group notorious for not reading anything, much less
a
newspaper.


*Chick-Fil-A seems to be an exception. Someone that chain, at least
around here, attracts young workers who speak English, are polite,
and
get the order right.
Chick-Fil-A, started here in GA. The guy who began the whole thing
wanted everything right, and it's still that way today. Notice, they
aren't open on Sundays, he wanted his workers to be able to worship,
if
they so chose. Everyone goes through training, not just to cook, etc.
but to be courteous, clean, etc.

Actually, I find the "closed on Sunday" business offputting, because
not all people in this country celebrate their Sabbath on Sunday.
His store. His rules.
I have no argument with that, but I find it odd he is excluding others
in this day and age. Perhaps he gives his non-Christian observant
employees the day off they celebrate.

It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't. I'm no expert on any religion, but
my understanding is that Christians believe that their religion is the
only true one.

I suspect Chuck is having kittens right now. This is one of the verboten
topics.




Well, I think any reasonable discussion is grist for the mill. I was going
to go out on the water this afternoon, but thunderbumpers are threatening.
I'll probably get out Sunday if the weather is decentl.

I like Chick-fil-a, by the way. I avoid the potato(e)s, but the grilled
chicken is pretty nice, and they have large diet lemonade. I like their
ads, too.
We have one in town. Just haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Maybe
soon.
Have a greeeaaaattt weekend.
