Well did the restaurant murder the guy? Because if not that’s bullshit.

[–] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 63 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The restaurant didn't murder the guy, but the reviewer requested a seat in the non-murdering section, so seating him right next to it loses a star.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I mean, it's just like the 1980s. You could request to sit in the non-smoking section, but let's be real, the whole building smelled of smoke no matter how far away you sat. Same thing here. You're going to catch a bit of second hand murder viewing. That's just how it goes sometimes.

Makes me miss Shoney's back in the day.

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Man, I saw so many great murders in that place.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

but how large is the splash zone?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Have you ever seen a Gallagher show? No? Don't bother. It's often racist bullshit, but for some reason he then hits a watermellon with a hammer to splash the audience.

No, I'm not leaving out context. Racist joke, hits watermellon, big laughs. He was popular in the 80s with the boomers. It was as stupid as it sounds, but it does give you a good idea how big the splash zone would be.

I was going to try to argue that the restaurant is responsible for everything that happens in it but that would be bullshit. In a court of law, the restaraunt wouldn't be held responsible. At most, their responsibility is to kick the guy out and maybe call police if they had reason to suspect he'd commit violence. If it was out of the blue and they had no way of knowing it would happen, it's not their responsibility

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago

Depends. If the chief murdered the guy, then that's the restaurant's responsibility for not keeping the chef secured.

That’s worth tipping for in a Waffle House considering you weren’t directly involved in the murder.

[–] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Worked in a Waffle House 28 years ago. Never had a murder, but did have a rape, beating, two football fan crashouts and a drunk guy yelling at the menu for being disrespectful to his invisible wife. Gods I will never unsee any of that. Worse, I never got tipped. Layer moved to a more dangerous gig : Steak N Shake cook.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

a drunk guy yelling at the menu for being disrespectful to his invisible wife

God I hope this was captured by all angles from peoples cell phones, and uploaded to youtube.

28 years ago

The only things people were doing with their cell phones was making calls, maybe a couple texts if you could afford it, and making those custom ring tones that Motorola let you do.

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 10 points 2 months ago

Don't forget the Snake game.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I wanna know more about that one

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How are you handling the adjustment to life on the outside?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

if you can really call it life

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Plus it's just the neighborly thing to do. They have to clean up the body, after all.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dinner and a show?

5 stars.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] diffaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

How about 7? 👁️

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hate it when that happens...

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 17 points 2 months ago

You know your town is going to shit when you can't even finish your baked mostaccioli because some asshole decided to stab his brother 5 feet away from you.

[–] beveradb@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Murdered beside you? ...Did you do the murder, Cormac?

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"A man was murdered beside me during my meal."

"It was you! You murdered your dining companion!"

"That doesn't change the facts."

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Phoebe: my mom was killed by a drug dealer

Monica: your mom killed herself

Phoebe: she was a drug dealer

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 11 points 2 months ago

Was the food good though?

[–] faqtimaan@lemmy.wtf 9 points 2 months ago

Well nobody is appreciating the killer for atleast finishing him his meal.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

At least it didn't happen before the check back

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

That escalated quickly

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

At least it wasn't raining
