skepticalavenger: anonymous-atheist: A man stopped by the Applebees that fired that waitress for posting the receipt from a pastor who didn’t want to give her a tip. This was the letter he left. It reads:  Dear Applebee’s: Let me cut to the chase: I find your termination of Ms. Chelsea Welch (an otherwise excellent and hard working employee) downright deplorable and appalling. As far as I’m concerned, she did absolutely NOTHING “wrong” when posting the image of that receipt with that insulting comment made by the customer Pastor Alois Bell. First off, there was absolutely nothing mentioned in the employee handbook admonishing this kind of behavior, but more importantly (if you wish to argue otherwise) just how much “personal information” could have possibly been divulged to the public just by the customer’s signature? NOWHERE was the customer’s full name, credit card information, address or even YOUR restaurant’s name indicated on the photograph of that receipt which is far more incriminating and potentially damaging information than just a signature alone. How is a mere signature going to help a criminal commit an act of identity theft? Local health inspectors and fire/safety inspectors have their signatures prominently displayed on certificates posted publicly by restaurants like yours… can THEY complain that you publicly displayed their “private information”? As far as I’m concerned the only “damage” done was to the pastor’s shallow and “precious” ego. Nothing more, nothing less. She could’ve have simply ignored the post, not said anything and just went on with her cheap and inconsiderate, stingy ways. No one would’ve been the wiser. But no. She HAD to complain to the manager and have an otherwise fantastic employee fired simply because she was embarrassed. Ms. Welch did absolutely NOTHING to publicly embarrass/humiliate her…. MS. BELL DID. And cared more about her ego than actually righting a wrong and offering to not only fairly tip what was rightfully due to Ms. Welch, but fight to get her re-hired. Ms. Alois Bell, the pathetic excuse of a human being she is, did absolutely NONE of that… and YOUR company has the NERVE to stand by her side??? As a part time pizza delivery driver myself, I KNOW first hand what its like to work for a less than minimum wage depending almost entirely on tips just to pay basic necessities such as food and rent. Yeah, I get the “average” principle and try not to take the occasional stuff so seriously, however, on some really bad days when I have runs that I have to drive far, using MY personal vehicle and MY personal gas, and get nothing, its not only very frustrating but completely unfair that I get taxed at federal minimum wage rate when [I’m] actually making LESS in that hour delivering to these inconsiderate customers who have no clue as to what SERVICE is all about. Essentially getting taxed on money that I’m NOT making. And THIS is what your company CONDONES and is PROUD OF?!?!?! Long story short: I have come to your Easy Brunswick/Milltown restaurant NOT to order anything…but to simply use the restroom, get my complimentary water with lemon and just LEAVE but not without generously tipping your server for doing nothing more than bringing me menus and water. Furthermore I promised the server that should this letter appear online and go viral, that I’ll be returning to the store and DOUBLING his/her tip. And since he/she has my full permission and consent to post this letter online with MY NAME and signature fully visible, there isn’t ANYTHING that you can do about it. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, A now FORMER customer of yours, Michael T. Zybura (attached $10) (source) Well, let’s make this thing go viral then.  :)

Well, let’s make this thing go viral then.  :)

sukitoorukage: PERSONA ARCANA TAROT CARDS COMMISSIONS (click here for the full details/original post) I’ve been announcing it for a while now, but here’s that sale I promised! Special deal! And it’s tumblr exclusive! From January 28 until February 16, I’m discounting the cards to these prices! $8 - Set of 3 of your choice — 20% off original price $19 - Set of 9 of your choice — 24% off original price $38 - Full deck of 22 cards — 24% off the original price $42 - Full deck + bonus cards Perriot/Jester, Lust/Hunger, Aeon; 25 cards — 25% off the original price! Some details about the sale: You don’t have to pay right away—but you can reserve your order during the sale period! If you don’t make a commission during the sale, you’ll have to get it at full price later. If you commission me during this period and don’t have the money to pay right away, that’s fine! We can work something out—like a down payment, or we can arrange a date as to when you want the cards, etc. I’m very flexible and patient! (As long as you don’t flake out!) I think that’s all the details. Other than that I’m not putting a sale on the single cards, because those are already as cheap as I can make them. Send an ask if you’re interested or have questions! And even if you’re not buying, please do reblog and tell your friends! The basics of the other post: I have paypal (I didn’t before, but now it’s an option!) I can ship internationally (there might be some sticky details and extra cost for that though… hopefully it won’t be too much extra, I like to keep the price as solid as I can!) The cards will be 2.5x3.5 inches unless you request otherwise, and really high quality.

FINALLY!

I finally watched the entirety of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood with some of my friends. It took us two days of marathon watching the fourth and fifth seasons, but we got through. My reaction: WHY DID WE NOT WATCH THIS SOONER?!?!?!? It was AMAZING! I can’t begin to describe how awesome it was. Words really can’t describe it. This is my most favorite anime ever! (At least right now XD) It was SO good! I can’t get over it! I absolutely LOVE how they ended it! There were some parts where I was like “NOOO!!” but it all worked out in the end! This series will be watched over and over again! *continues spazzy fangirling mixed with tears of joy*

On another note, I must make sure I do Alphonse Elric justice when I cosplay him from now on!

The weekend has finally come….

So, the first week of classes is finally over and this semester is looking pretty good. My professors all seem nice and my schedule is pretty spread out (allowing time for me to draw - FINALLY! ^_^)

Looking forward to Katsucon in Feburary but I have a lot of work to get done before then -including repairing/reassembling Alphonse’s helmet- but I think I’ll finish in time. The current cosplay’s I have planned for Katsucon 2012 are Alphonse Elric (FMA -full armor), Lily (Vocaloid - Scissorhands), and Germany (Hetalia).

On a different note, I’m in two different table-top roleplays (though one is postponed until the end of the semester). Additionally I’m part of one LARP. I’m currently debating about joining a blog roleplay, but I’m not sure if I’ll have the time -and I’ve never done a blog RP before- so we’ll see.
