Just out of curiosity, why are bartenders allowed to use their hands to put garnishes in drinks? It seems like a violation of safe food handling that a bartender would take money, then make a drink and add a garnish, all without washing their hands? Is this legal, and if not, why aren't they caught by health inspectors? Are they exempt? Does the alcohol kill any germs that might have been passed to the garnish? Would be interesting to hear from bartenders, restaurant or bar owners, or health inspectors!

a lot of people i ask this to tell me yes its bad for you but cant tell me why

they say there arent enough vitamins or something but vitamins are electrolytes and i have no idea what that means

anyway i ask them what has vitamins they say vegetables. but burgers have pickles lettuce tomatoes sometimes onion ketchup mustard and mayonaise which are all vegetables.

and i did a lot of research and found that meat has protein and burgers have meat or if you go to kfc they serve something called fried chicken which is really just another name for meat

my highschool teacher told me that carobs (sp?) are important for energy and you can get them from rice but rice is really expensive to get so i asked what else he says noodles but i dont eat soup and i said what else and he goes potatoes. and i thought aren't french fries a kind of potatoes? but maybe i was wrong so i asked him about french fries and he said yes they were potatoes and i KNOW french fries are sold too

so wtf?

What are the best places to work, for young, attractive waitresses? Are they the bars and grilles? Or the high end cocktail bars? I need to make at least 100 per day. Where do you recommend I work?

I asked a question about tipping, and one of the answers was that tipping a server is optional, and the problem is not with bad tippers, but with bad pay practice for restaurants. Do people not understand how much a meal would cost in a nice restaurant if the servers had a decent base pay? There would be no incentive to provide good service, and the payroll at the restaurant would go through the roof. The more servers there are on the dining floor, the better the service will be (in theory). The really good servers who care about customers would demand such a high salary that many small restaurants would not be able to pay them for their services. Add to this the fact that if you receive bad service, it would make no difference to the server, because they are getting paid anyway. The cost of a meal would probably double, if not triple, and only the wealthy would be able to afford a nice meal.
OK, I'll get off my soapbox, but I would like to know what others think about this.

Have you noticed that McDonald's now adds an Eat In or a Take Out tax to the total charge on your receipt?

Hmmm... so they make their food cost what it has for a long time and then add a tax so you are still paying more but the prices don't look bad?

Are other fast food places doing this too?

I'll bet everyone that goes has a really good time, course there will be no beer served since most of you are not old enough, but I would imagine that Yahoo will spring for some soda pop and popcorn for the youngsters, what do you think?

I was just wondering if anyone know's if you are able to buy the Southwest Chiptole Sauce they have at Subway restaurants. I went to one of my local Subway restaurant and asked but the guy there seemed clueless. I am just wondering if anyone here knows where I can purchase it or anything. Its a great sauce to have it on your Sub:)

I think it's north of Boston. It's been too many years and I just remember going there with my folks and having a good meal. (The only reason I remember the name is that my dad used to joke about "Mammy and Pappy Yocum")
It's ALSO the place that the servers used to ask what kind of "b'datas" (potatoes) we wanted!
