Been up all night watching Russian and American dash cam vids.

Dunno about the inner workings of Russia but its WAY too damn easy to get a license in the states.

By no means am I a perfect driver, but holy hell... How do these people function throughout the day???

I frequently watch the Russian ones as that stuff is insane. You should start getting Russian Bride banner ads on here any time now.

Should probably put this in the meme thread, but given the current topic of conversation.

He ordered a filet mignon, 2 lobster tail, a full size shrimp scampi, a pasta dish plus sides, sampler pack appetizers and drinks.

The vendor was chatting bs with my boss while this ass placed his order. His jaw was on the table when the food came out. Everyone else had a small $15 lunch combo and this guy orders $300 worth of food. Found out the only reason my boss invited him on the lunch was because he was standing there when the vendor made the offer. That was a very akward car ride back to the shop.

uggh, if that was my employee i'd have a very stern talk with him about abusing the generosity of our vendors. and that now thanks to him, i need to pander to my vendor more than i would want to.

so get out there and go suck the vendors **** and earn that lunch son.

If that were my employee he would have know to take it easy before we even left the office. I make very sure they understand that things from venders are never "free" no matter how much it appears they are. My guys are permitted to go to lunch but all have very clear instruction that it must be kept modest and reasonable. If one of my guys pulled that stunt they just may not be one of my guys much longer when we came back.

I've had this conversation. I said something like "Let the guy who's buying us lunch order first. Observe what he orders to eat and drink. Then order something similar in the same price range."

Exactly! Almost word for word what I say.

Some of these Black Friday deals are out of control - who opens a store at 6PM on Thanksgiving Day?!
