I hope that they asked you to leave before presenting the bill.

We paid, and then left. I didn't feel like making a bigger scene than what was already made.

You sir are a very good man. Had I been asked to leave, whatever bill I'd racked up would have become theirs to deal with.

It would have been tempting to leave a card with an address and tell the manager, "You can mail the bill to me, along with your letter of apology."

Maybe not realistic, but tempting to think about.

Then they'd simply hand the card to the police, who'd show up and charge you with theft of services.

You did well, Rev. A. J. Forsyth. We need to be pointing out the logical fallacies and hypocrisy wherever we encounter them. Other people in that bar likely had an "aha" moment, seeing that go down. I'd hazard a guess their business took a dip that night and those other patrons are talking about this incident with their friends and family. Ripples in an otherwise still pond.

And this, boys and girls, is why we do not act on our tempting thoughts. Still fun to think about it, though.

I usually try to mind my own business - especially with this COVID nonsense, but tonight I had enough. Probably because it was a rough day at the office.

I went out to eat with the wife, we are both vaccinated. We walked up to the door and she had her mask on, I did not. Host asked me to put it on, I did. We went inside, had dinner and a drink or two. Host was walking around, talking to people without his mask on. "I said rules for thee, not for me". He said some shit, I said some shit, they asked us to leave.

PS:

The food sucked and my Yuengling was flat.

Go onto every social media restaurant site (Yelp) and trash them for service and food. Inform all your friends about “Crapo Restaurant” so that the word gets spread. They need to be driven out of business. That’s the only way things will ever change; they need to be made to suffer. No Prisoners Taken!!!

Yep. I made the same comment a few days ago. Everything this administration is doing is geared to one thing....destroying the US economy.

That's the only thing that makes sense, but for what? Simply control?

Corporations are benefiting from small businesses closing their doors. Progressives are using it as a power grab.

Of course not. If you’re a communist control is the only thing that matters.

My wife just got the email from corporate. She has to have the “vaccine” by December 8th or get fired. If she gets fired, we’re out on the street. If she dies from the vaccine… I can’t finish that sentence.

I got that letter a week ago Monday and my wife got hers a day later. Both of us work for very large international corporations.

We both work from home 100% of the time and have for over a decade. Makes complete sense.

My wife works from home since this thing started also.

It’s from the White House Guidance:
” Contractor employees working on a covered contract from their residence also must comply with the vaccination requirement for covered contractor employees.”

The Guidance
Sept. 24th White House Guidance on EO 14042

Has anything this administration done made any sense?
Nope.

I think a major blowup is looming in my household. I just told my wife that I don't care who mandates what, when it comes to it, we're not "vaccinating" our son. Anyone who wants to do so has to go through me and over my dead body. She replied with a heated "I think the risk of dying from COVID is greater than any risk from the vaccine." I shut her off there with "there's no further conversation about it that needs to take place, it's not going to happen."

Of course, we're going to have to talk about it at some point. If she takes my son to get the shot behind my back, that will be the end of this marriage. It's not the only thing going wrong, but it will be the last thing.

I don't know the totality of your circumstances but there is plenty of evidence that she is wrong. You might be able to convince her with evidence rather than escalate this.

The other side of that coin is a populace that can only rely on the state.

I'll attempt that. We just talked a bit further, she has to decide which vaccine to get. I mentioned that there's been coronary problems associated with some of the vaccines and she retorted "yeah, in men." I told her women also, and she said that my sources were questionable because I've been duped by a few satire pieces here that were posted without warning. So now, I'm considered a questionable source.

I'm going to read back a few dozen pages. Today is not shaping up to be a very good day.

Any clear thinking person should be able to see that the risk to children from this virus is infinitesimally small. So small in fact it's barely worth noting. There is absolutely no rational reason whatsoever to give this shot to our children and every reason not to.

Unfortunately, clear thought and rationality seems to be in short supply as of late.
