That's especially true when you're stuck in an office with people who didn't bother to bring their brains along with their bodies.

In line to fly Southwest, spot A-21 (nice!). A girl is standing at spot 20 and says she's spot 25. I point out that she belongs further back, behind us, and she gets a snotty superior face/tone, backs up about six inches and points to the area and says "Here, take all this space." I opt to not explain to her how the cattle call system works, but a guy walks up and says he's spot 22 so I say, "here - you're right behind me" so the girl has to back up.

Then, while boarding they announce "this is a completely full flight" and she slides into a row and puts all her crap on both sides of her to protect from anyone sitting with her. Obviously, that doesn't work, so I'm secretly happy. But, man, some people can be annoying.

Not so annoying but we dropped in temperature from 71 to 51 in 10 minutes.  At least no tornado which they said might happen.

Here is where I'll keep count of the number of times I hear her tell about the decision-making process, and/or the deciding factor being that this one has "whipped cream frosting so it isn't so sweet."

Edit: Okay, but Dwight's "Little Ways" was next, so maybe things are looking up.

As far as I know, these places own their buildings... they're all still in business, but they decided to not be open on Mondays. Or Monday/Tuesday in one case. The new place I understand, they're just getting started. And maybe the other places are having staffing issues so can't be open 7 days. But maybe if they don't want to concede the whole business to McD, they should coordinate the days they're closed so that people who want to go to a real restaurant can? I dunno. It's a different environment now vs when we had our place, but I hated to have people rattle the door and find it locked.


A lot of places here are limiting days due to staffing. A local pizza place had no delivery drivers on Friday a few weeks ago, so we just went to pickup - the place was slammed and only a handful of workers.  Sign of the times.  Coordination would be good, but I bet a lot of those little restaurants don't want to go to the competition and say "we don't have the staff, so we are closing a few days, want to coordinate?", no matter how good an idea it is.

Yeah, they could try to coordinate the closing days.  I know a lot of restaurants do close on Mondays, but that's usually "dinner" restaurants, not so much places that serve breakfast.  Around here a lot of businesses depend on the college students (as customers and employees) , so some of them go to 5-day weeks while school is out.  The semester just started so they try to go back to 7 days if they can staff.
