Comment on Singular form for “Criteria” by juicyfruit

Tony,

Thanks for the correction. I wasn’t “lecturing” everyone on correct English. That word came up in a conversation and someone corrected the person so I thought I’d post it up. No offense to anyone with perfect English grammar.

OK let me get this straight, here you are lecturing us on correct English and yet you repeatedly use “it’s” when THE CORRECT ENGLISH is “its” in this case. “It’s” is a contraction for “it is” and NOT A possessive. You can make this stuff up…

Plural usage: In order to become a member of this club, you must first meet it’s criteria before you are considered.

I am like you. I don’t understand what their problem could be. Why not let her have them? Maybe you should ask? Strange…

Comment on That CPK Bitch by Half Pint

After reading this all I have to say is that I work at CPK and I am a waitress-two things. One mistakes do happen-and I am sorry that you had a poor server regarding the tomato basil pizza-however I am sure she did not mean to short change you-mistakes do happen, she could have mis-calculated her change, but as for short changing or trying to steal from CPK-you have this all incorrect as I can see by your response you have never served yourself. When a customer pays with cash or credit it is the servers responsibility to hold onto the credit receipts and cash, which means that only if they need a big bill broken down because they cannot break it themselves would they go to the bar and have it broken, so of course if she short changed you intentionally or not it would come out of her cash-which FYI is not just tip money-it is money for all cash transactions, and at the end of the shift, that cash is split up into what we owe the restaurant for cash tables, minus credit card tips, and that includes tip outs for the bar, host and bussers. We do not go to a register and get change we are in charge of all our own transactions so if we f-up it comes out of our tips-that is why it is important to give correct change not only for the sack of not short changing the customer but also you we do not screw ourselves.

First; this story is about you, not me. What I would do/have done is not pertinent.

Second; no, whining and complaining about something and then calling it forgiveness is NOT forgiveness.

Third; letting it go isn’t forgiveness, either.

‘Forgive’ is an action verb. The act of forgiving is not just ‘letting it go’–it really is an action of consciously giving another person absolution from the wrong they perpetrated against you.

It’s clear that you believe you have forgiven the waitress; so be it.

If I have not thought about this story since the day I posted it, then would you consider that forgiveness? Yes, I do think she meant to steal from her work and from me and I do think she was a bitch for doing so. But heck, I had let it go and didn’t think much of it until I received your comment.

When one whines and complains about something, but then forgets about it, is it not forgiveness?

And don’t tell me that you have never been so upset at someone that you ended up calling her names, but then say “hell with it. Let it go.”

Let it go = Forgiveness in my opinion.

Forgiveness does not come in many forms; it is given freely and sincerely, or not at all.
No where in your story do I get the sense that you forgave the waitress. Instead, you state that she meant to steal from her place of business and from you, and that she is a bitch for doing so.

Venting is understandable; we all do it. My point remains the same, however. If you honestly forgave that woman, then your story would reflect it.
