I think groupon people are probably the lowest of the low. I know a place that stopped doing groupons because the FoH staff rebelled and threatened to walk out en masse if the owner did another groupon.

This vendor brought pies from a local pie vendor (I nearly said house, but feared Matt's wrath) for our enjoyment. Five different pies - the strawberry is gutted (only the crust remains) and the other four (chocolate, coconut, apple, and pecan) are pristine. I generally don't care but today I want pie, and I want some tea as well. But if I have the pie, the tea will taste awful. But I need the caffeine.

Don't ask about coffee, aka the Office Swill. Not even going there.

No pie for Thomas. I guess I could scoop some up in a cup and take it to-go on my way out of the office (no lids or straws, though) but that just kind of feels wrong.

Well, this story has a happy ending. Post-lunch I went casting about for pie, and to my surprise, tucked away in the back of the office fridge there was a strawberry cheesecake, completely untouched. Well, untouched before I got my paws on it. Now, it's very definitely touched. You might even say compromised.

I might not eat again until tomorrow.

Possibly the wrong thread for this, but:

As a diversion from writing a godawful, never-ending chapter, I flipped on the TV to see what was on. I was scrolling through the guide and noticed that Food Network is airing Diners, Drive-Throughs, and Dumps--or whatever Guy Fieri's show is called--continuously from now until 3 a.m. God knows when they actually started this douche marathon.

WTF--could this possibly lead to a favorable ratings-to-production-cost ratio?
