Clearly Edelman wants his own reality show.

I have only two complaints about this place. First, we came as it was almost closing time. Our food was brought to us immediately after we ordered and it was clear that they had already been cooked and plated before we ordered them. Despite that, the flavors of the dishes were still great. Second, our waitress was not very amiable.

soooo they came in at closing time and are complaining that the food wasn't made completely to order and that the waitstaff wanted to go home. all righty.

But around 2008, Wong felt like his life was missing something. "I wanted to be a bit more creative in life," he says. "It occurred to me that even my emails—which were probably the most original things I was producing—were dry and boring."

Wong tells me that the reason he took the plunge and started writing Yelp reviews six years ago was to improve his command of written English.

frank zappa, singing 'ring of fire':

'IT'S ONE WAY OF LEARNING ENGLISH'

i would like it if all people struggling with english took to writing yelp reviews

I've been holding my tongue on this for a while, but I knew Edelman growing up, and he is mega mega aspie. I don't think he's really a jerk so much as clueless about why this was an obnoxious way to handle a technically correct but minor gripe.

Like I am pretty sure he actually is on the spectrum.

☑ diagnosed

okay, so where's the "redact habitual snark" button?

nah keep that one

even if he is on the spectrum, he probably knows that he has to live in the world with other people, so if he's not treating his asperger's in a way that will help him do that, he is entirely culpable for his jerkiness.

Reading that totally takes the entertainment factor out of things. Or maybe not....

not that i'm some kind of autism expert but that's the first thing i thought when i read his emails, which made me feel a little bit bad for how much it was blowing up

I just thought he was a cokehead.

this guy's probably a yelper so i'll post my anecdote here.

last night (christmas eve) i was having dinner in a busy jewish deli. i noticed that the guy at the table across from mine had a really complicated order, and kept saying things like "i'll have the fries, crispy but not burned" and "i'll have the bean barley soup, but put it in the microwave for thirty seconds" and several other stipulations. these aren't even unreasonable requests, but taken in aggregate along with the fact that the place was slammed and the waitress had a dozen other tables to cover, it seemed ridic to me. and at the end he asked the waitress her name, which is never a good sign -- it usually means, "I plan to tell the manager if you fuck this up."

my old dentist retired last year & a young new dentist renamed the practice & took over the clientele.

old dentist had a yelp page with maybe four reviews, but all glowing five star reviews because he was the best.

new dude has taken over the yelp page & kept the reviews! i already dislike new dentist & this just makes me like him even less

these aren't even unreasonable requests

they are

unless you have an allergy or you want to make a simple substitution just eat the fucking food they make you

Yeah stipulating your fry doneness is bananas.

i tend to agree, i'm just trying to be magnanimous.

Hi its electricbob
This is a good McDonald's compared to north Ave or greenmount.I've never seen anyone nodding off and the food usually comes out correct and at least Luke warm.being open late and really fast is cool.its cool to tell em a joke because they probably are having a harder day. Sometime I give them a beer or a hit of a joint.

Hi its seandalai
good review

guy sounds cool tbh

electricbobaloo

Least scumbag yelp review ever

useful, funny, AND cool

otm

i can see this mcdonalds from my bedroom window fyi

go tell them a joke

I actually feel kind of guilty now about how inhuman my interactions with mcdonald's workers tend to be the rare times I go to mcdonald's. OTOH I always feel this pressure not to chat with them because they seem to feel pressure to be fast.

I worked at McDo for over a year when I was teenager. trust me we did not care about chatting

Yeah they undoubtedly have throughput metrics

Did you care about getting weeded?

Considering this is a luxury brand I would expect a better level of service when spending thousands of dollars on a bag. I felt rushed when making my decision to just pick a bag instead of letting me browse. I was not asked what I was looking for, or what I would be using the bag for in order to show me my best options. Unfortunately there is only one Louis Vuitton here in Baltimore, so I am stuck shopping her until I move.

someone is holding a gun to my head, forcing me to shop at the louis vuitton store where no one asks me what i'm looking for

so I am stuck shopping her until I move.

you shopping her

harbl are you thinking about getting a LV??

http://dailypicksandflicks.com/2013/05/19/snl-hermes-handbags-video/

she just wanted to ask someone which is the best lv for carrying an acetyline torch

lol no i was just getting curious and looking for some more luxurious yelps i guess

"stuck shopping here" implying that she picks up new LV bags on the reg

Style changes dude

Imagine your favorite grocery store. Now imagine that store painted the colors of a Mexican blanket, blaring Mariachi music over the loudspeaker and the smell of barbeque chicken cooking in the parking lot. You can get a taco. You can get a churro. You can get a 3 pack of Modelo tallboys (Never have I ever seen such an item!). All that for a price that's poquito.

It's the little things. This grocery store is clean. The quality of items is excellent and the selection is as big as the Yucatan peninsula.

Annie G. brought me here recently because she's quite literally obsessed with MP. My favorite memory is being in line at the check out, hearing a muffled announcement in Spanish over the store PA and then having the cashiers cheer and shake tin cans with Mexican beans in them. They were celebrating something. What it was, I'm not sure.

What I am sure of is that this is a great grocery store.

Tbh I want to go to that grocery store now.

I wouldn't.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing with my life. And then I go to the Planned Parenthood in the Eastmont Mall and realize I'm doing ok.

These are the things I saw while I was getting medical treatment for a UTI:
1) A gay, potentially homeless man walked in and rudely asked for some condoms. He was on his cell phone and eating Cup Noodles.
2) The girl sitting next to me was on her cell phone and talking about how she needed emergency contraception because she got, "soooo fucked up last night!" It was a Tuesday morning.
3) My consultation with the nurse got interrupted because the Oakland Police Department needed to talk to her about the homicide of a girl that had recently been a patient.

Kind of a daunting experience for a Tuesday morning before work. But it was nice to feel like I was getting mental gold stars from the nurse when I told him that I've never given birth or been pregnant. It's sometimes nice to have a false sense of hope for oneself.

go back to Utah

I need to not look at Yelp ever. You can't help but violate the number one internet rule "don't look at the comments."
