After googling her username, you get the sense that she simply posts her diatribes on random message boards and leaves laughter in her wake.

She joins a forum about SHAVING to share her opinion. A message board that is designed to talk about shaving!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The reactions are priceless. I literally blew out my back laughing so hard at the responses

She posts it in the main forum, just letting the post stand alone by itself. Amazing. I need to marry this women

I suppose the obvious next question is:



How does this relate to removal of facial hair?

By far the best reaction to her rant

If this is the case, she is likely well known within the large, yet very closely knit food service community in New Orleans. Have mercy on her soul.

Edit: With that long list of chain restaurants, I'd bet she's a suburbanite. New Orleans proper has very few chain restaurants. They do have Popeye's. Delicious, delicious Popeye's...

Remember the Simpsons episode where all the restaurants team up to try and kill Homer? Something tells me she's going to end up dead and it's going to be food related. Diabetes, choking on 6 sides of ranch dressing or someone poisoned her food.....

She is almost as adventurous as someone eating a Sbarro in NYC.

The minute that anyone does a comparison of Chilli's or Outback to fine dining or comparing the training of their wait staff is the minute that you lose all credibility

Its more along the lines of

Homeless shelter kitchen

Gas Station Sandwich machine

Low teir fast food (McDonalds, BK, KFC)

High tier fast good - Dennys, Humpties

Franchise meal servers - Earls, Olive Garden

The faker high end dining - Ceasars Hys, Smugglers

High end restaurant - Rouge, Il Signo etc.

If your going to dine at the franchise restaurants your getting people that aren't looking at this as a career, its money for them to go to school or party until something better comes along.

If you want the high level of service you need to be willing to pay 50 or 60 bucks a plate and prepare to get laughed at for buying an $30 plastic bottle of wine.

She also joined the Sherdog Marital Arts forum to post this and only one other post

One time, I ordered 5 extra cheese sauces with a pizza and cheeseticks at Papa John's and of course I got a smart comment about it

It sort of takes the fun out of it when you learn (well, get confirmation) that spring1 suffers from some sort of mental illness or cognitive disability.

yes, i agree, it's a job they're doing, BUT, they are also only getting paid hourly by the establishment based on the fact that they will receive tips. most servers actually only make minimum wage, or very close to. so when you don't tip them, they actually lose money for providing you with meal service, because they normally pay out to the house a certain percentage of their total sales. so if a 2 top orders $100 worth of food and beverage and no tip is given, the servers have to dig into their own pocket to pay out their fair share of sales, to tip the bartender, hostess, food runners etc...

not tipping because 'society says i have to' is incredibly selfish. how would you like it if you as a server had to pay $10 out of your pocket so 2 people could be served by you and enjoy their lunch/dinner because they didn't want to tip you?

I wish i could actually meet this chick. According to the photobucket account named springs1 that i posted earlier, this is what she suppositly looks like (if it is really her):

If enough people stopped tipping, it would cause servers to stop working in that industry.

Then the industry would be forced to reconsider this employee cost model and come up with something less ridiculas!

If servers dont like the crappy shifts and crappy wages, they should quit. Who is forcing this upon them that I should feel quitly about how badly they are paid.

Or you could just not go to restaurants, since it's so hard for you to tip someone who has waited on you that night. Back in the day you had slaves to wait on you and you didn't need to tip them, today you go to a restaurant and have someone get everything for you. Why shouldn't you give them a tip if they get everything for you and it's what you asked for and they were nice and helpful?

It should be manditory for people to work in the service industry at some point in their lives, then they would gladly leave a tip for the good service they get.

Troll level 100000,

I cannot wait until she decides to take her rants to a larger audience such as 4chan/reddit. It would be absolutely hilarious

again, that wasnt my point. my issue is the concept that these people are underpaid and forced to work at low wages. maybe they shouldnt accept low wages?

A few comments in this thread follow a similar trend I see a lot in society these days:

"Everyone should (be happy with what they make / make less money than they do) because they (do a job that anyone could do / don't work nearly hard enough). Except me of course, I am worth every penny and more."
