Where's the "hero" tag?

shoula been sappy?

mmmmmm Pasta

Curiosly, the only ex-employee not invited back was the one who made the soups ...

deserves the "spiffy" tag. An employer doing something like that just rocks.

Rock on resturant owners!!

Very cool. Almost up there with the shoe company who gave every current employee $1000 for each year they'd been there.
And I like pasta.

A chart auditing firm in wisconsin gave each of it's employees a $6000 christmas bonus last year when they showed a million dollar profit

YAY FOR COOL EMPLOYERS

That's nothing, my employer gives away prostitutes and heroin every day.

I'm self-employed.

Not only that, it's pretty good food.
And I had my share of "fishbowls" there while in college :)

Amusing? Who writes this shiat?

Wow, they had hired in average 80 new people per year.

Guess it sucked to work there.

What internet Radio Station do you listen to?

But did they invite back the cork soakers?

I wanted to be coffee is know known as Master of Baiting

My employer gave me a free hot cocoa sampler box.

harpagon: It's bar & restaurant in a college town, of course it goes through help...

....a bottle of white....a bottle of red....

I wanted to be coffee - flooding = bad.

Great Enemy of Mister Hand - What's a hot cocoa sampler box!?

perhaps a bottle of rosie instead?

Why is this amusing?

Its a container made out of cardboard to house small amounts of various flavors of a powdered substance combined with hot water to make a chocolatey beverage for consumption.

Coffee Mater Baiting

You are a moron. Yeah...Why not add MORE elitism to the world?! I mean, yeah, and if you don't have a rank of ten, maybe you can't talk to people with a rank of 20!!! That would be 'teh' cool you dick

I am listening to yahoo launchcast "indie rock" and I'm enjoying it. I have been out of the loop for much too long.

Oh I get it now, it's a hot cocao sampler box! Why didn't you say so in the first place?

/still don't get it

I work for a shiathole here in Australia called Myers. We got absolutely nothing from them. Yay for minimum wage hellholes.

Ah, that's very cool. :)

My favorite local eatery (The Mad Italian in Doraville, for you Atlantans) had their 30th anniversary last July, and on that day they sold everything at the original 1973 prices. 2 bucks for a hot sub, and 75 cents for a beer (Budweiser, but still!). It rocked. Had dinner and a few beers for less than five bucks. The place was packed like a Tokyo subway train, but still, it was a blast.

DO NOT CORRECT MY SPELLING!!
IF YOU QUESTION ME...THE PENALTY IS DEATH!!

Godless...questioning...sodomite...

Only in Iowa do you find Italian restaurants sans Italians.
Congratulations to Crew216 for the first corksoaker reference...or not.

JUMP! I wanted to be coffee

"But did they invite back the cork soakers?"

I think the owners are the cork soakers.

I wanted to be coffee I was banned from the Adult Swim forums because I went on a rant about how women were created by the lord Jesus Christ for our amusement, and it doesn't matter if they get orgasms because they're just objects anyway, and their opinions don't count...just like their vote.

It was ausome, and totally worth it.

Great Enemy of Mister Hand - Actually, I think I'm the one who spelled it wrong (I just happened to pick that work to italicize at random). Oops.

sodomite - Well maybe once in a long while.

I wanted to be coffee - Let me know what things are like on the other side! (=

I got a hot cocoa sampler box too, and a 2 dollar bill... I tried to spend it at taco bell, but they thought it was fake!
/fnorgby'd

Well there is one way NOT to stay in business.

i love that i get the hot coco sampler reference.

DarthDingus

Did they think it was a fake Hot Cocoa sampler box?

Those Bastards

I used to work at Gala Lanes North bowling alley (pre fun-center). If they invited me to a party, I would steal some beer and pee in the bowling ball polisher.

"And did you enjoy your meal?"

"Why yes, I did!"

"And do you remember when we fired you, how you told us to eat shiat and die?"

"Gulp."

Before you all get hoity-toity about Iowa and Italian restaurants, unless yours makes their pasta by hand, chances are it comes from Ames, IA -- Barilla Pasta's only US facility is here.

hot cocoa sample box - "Derogitory term for an African-American lady who as evidently enjoyed a large number of paramours"

I still don't get it.

I wanted to be coffee, be careful not to be snagged by the spider nets on the way down. Oops, too late he already has!

"people discussed the crappy Christmas bonuses they had received this year. One person wrote that all they received was a hot cocoa sampler box, and for the next few days every photoshop contest included a reference to this."... still not funny....

unavailable for comment.

The best thing that a exemployer gave me was a good laugh as the Ceo faces 600 years in prison for Fraud and theft of company funds.

That'll teach him for giving me that crappy T shirt for X=mas

Ya hear me Mr. Pulling the wagon,I hope Bubba has his way with ya !!!

/climbs off his soap box,drunk rant over

that's quite the turnover.

but cool, nonetheless.

So they have had 80 new employees per year, 1.6 per week, for 25 consecutive years. Why is it so hard to keep people at this place?

I have eaten there once while in Ames and I have to say its ok food but not what I call real italian food. I can't see a former employee getting real excited about going back for some 25 year bash.

Its a small college city in Iowa so you can't expect a whole lot.
Nice bookstore next door though.
