Corperate GREED = Occupy Wall Street =

[tom barry]

This could be a tad "lengthy" but I'll try to keep it brief.

Needing a pkg. of HOT DOGS for the ol' NE "stand by" saturday nite meal of "franks and beans", yours truly journey's to the LARGE chain Supermarket.

With "20" check-out" positions, of which only "4" are OPEN, with lines out the "ying yang", I head for the service center to pay for my "Dogs" ! An Intelligent looking young woman, stops Bagging groceries from one of the "4" (Only) lines that were open, and make her way to the UNSTAFFED customer service counter.

( NOTE: keep in mind that this is a saturday afternoon @ a LARGE supermarket chain here in N E. )

"How can I help you " ? ............ "I want to pay for this package of HOT DOGS Please" As she's glaring Silently at me, a co worker says ..."we need HELP, there Not enough baggers, not counting yourself" !

"I KNOW, I KNOW" she replies, BUT this is ALL "they" scheduled. The next baggers don't come in for another 1/2 hour. My GOD, you'd think they'd scheduled more PEOPLE on a saturday afternoon" !!!!

While she kept glaring @ me, I stared Silently @ her, then replied......."Young woman, THIS is why the "majority" of folks are Occupying WALL Street, and (here) @ South Station/Boston ! Somewhat uncomfortably she replied,
"I KNOW, you're RIGHT". "ALL "they" care about is how much MONEY they make, the fact that you're working like a MAD Woman, is very low on thier priority list" I said.

She replied (again), "Sadly you're right" !

Reality is a BI...TCH, ain't it ??????????

POINT OF ORDER!!!

A Good Bowl of North Texas Red does NOT contain beans or ground beef!

Ingredients:


• 1 ¾ - 2 lbs (800-900gr) inside round roast
• grapeseed, canola, or virgin olive oil for sauteeing
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
• 1 - 2 habaneros, seeded and minced
• 1 dried or canned chipotle pepper, chopped
• 1 can (14oz/398ml) tomato sauce
• 2 cans (5.5oz/156ml) tomato paste
• ¼ + ½ cup beef stock
• 2 TBSP brown sugar
• 1 TBSP ketchup
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp ancho powder
• ½ tsp unsweetened cocoa powder or to taste
• salt and pepper to taste
750ML of your favorite Tequila


Preparation:

Take two shots of Tequila in order to establish a Chili perspective

Take Beef and trim excess fat and cut into ½ inch cubes. Heat a cast iron or heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat. Pour a little oil in the pan to coat bottom. Consume another shot of Tequila, Sear cubed meat in batches, turning to brown evenly. Don’t crowd the pan or you will end up boiling the meat in its juices. Remove meat to a slow cooker.

Turn the heat in the pan down to medium; add onions and a dash of salt to the pan, stirring to pick up all the beef bits. When softened, add garlic, jalapeños and habaneros and continue to cook for a few minutes more. Pour ¼ cup beef stock over vegetables and stir to deglaze the pan.

Transfer vegetables to the slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients to the cooker and stir to combine while consuming rwo additional shots of Tequila.

Cover and cook the chili for approximately 4 hours on medium or 6 hours on low. As it cooks, the meat will break down. You may want to squash cubes of meat against the side of the cooker with a spoon to help it break down. Season at the very end with salt and pepper.

Accompany chili with shredded cheddar and cornbread. Serve immediately or transfer to a large, shallow casserole dish to cool quickly in the fridge.

Take remaining Tequila and prepare in a large pitcher as follows.

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate
6 fluid ounces tequila
2 fluid ounces triple sec

Directions

Fill blender with crushed ice. Pour in limeade concentrate, tequila and triple sec. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.

Repeat as necessary, being careful not to pass out face first while eating this wonderful North Texas Chili.

Tom, do you have the option to take your money to another store?

 

[Dog Wonder]

Tom, do you have the option to take your money to another store?

Preferably locally owned and selling local product.

"Carolla for President!"

 

[Seatacus]

Preferably locally owned and selling local product.

My point is that money talks loud. Stores not giving service should listen when the money goes elsewhere.

Yes Seatacus, around "here" there are MANY options.
But here's the rub. (I'll just rattle off a few other business's INFECTED with the same problem) Every Bank, subway,McDonalds, The movie theater, .............EVEN Wal-mart !!!!!!!!!!!!

There are a (very) few exceptions, and in fairness deserve mention. Restaurants like Olive Garden, Appleby's etc.
BUT, think about this. The Restaurants KNOW that people will turn and WALK OUT, if they're not given a certain amount of customer service once they're seated, especially if the place is half full !

I overheard someone commenting on OWS. Saying how "gay" it is. They seem have a point.

Someone Filmed a Gay Porn Movie During Occupy Oakland

New York-based homosexual smut peddler Dirty Boy Video put out a video called "Occupy My Throat" in which two hippie-ish twinks, who look like they might really be fighting income inequality and criminality of the banking system, suck each other off in a tent during the sit-in. We all knew they were having sex in their tents, but here's definitive proof.
