A completely hostile one.

Our local fast food places are up to $16/hour I believe. But, that's California. We've been passing some laws.

I had an employer with that kind of attitude once. I left without notice on the first day; I am a really bad person...

Who was so concerned that his waitresses might be stealing from him that we had to go to the bar to get the bartender to give us coffee or tea bags to make a new pot.

Really? Talk about slowing down service during the lunch rush.
