--- Quote from: DSL on 13 Mar 2017, 20:17 ---Ketchup over noodles sounds like something you'd do when every penny has to count, twice.
--- End quote ---
But you're still spending money on ketchup, money that could be spent on not ketchup without ruining your noodles.

Let's just say that some things are available in cut-rate, dollar-store versions and some things aren't, and you go with what you know -- or can help yourself to free packets of when the opportunity presents itself. I have a friend whose art-school stories of creative ways to intake calories when the choice was art supplies or food made me appreciate my own memories of college cafeterias -- and we were both doing much better then, than a lot of people we knew.

Yeah, I really don't think I can portray in words how disgusting I find ketchup, to the point that I won't order hamburgers at fast food places because it's put on by default. Yeah, I could just say "without ketchup," but I shouldn't fucking have to. Honestly, menus everywhere should list every single thing that's included by default, so you know what to request that they omit.

Ah, OK. (smile, nod, back slowly away)

Is there really no food that you find utterly abhorrent?

--- Quote from: neurocase on 15 Mar 2017, 20:48 ---I'd say that hopefully, this results in a firing which puts Renee on the bus, but that's probably wishful thinking.

I know you have the "employment at will" thing in the USA (I have no idea how MA state law would interfere), but I'd be a bit surprised if this was a one-strike-and-you're-out matter. The boss could argue that asking a co-worker to take their top off would be sexual harassment, or "creating a hostile workplace", I suppose, but considering the shenanigans people get up to in the workplace in QCverse all the time, I can't see it happening.

No, you're right. IRL, this would put Renee on the bus, period, end of sentence. I've had to deal with this kind of situation as the manager, and it's one of the instant-firing-moments, up with threatening another employee, being caught drinking on the job, or being caught stealing from the till.
But this is the QCverse, where those rules are lightened.

Cold medicine? Didn't he see 'House M.D.' to know how dangerous that is? What happened to a free day off school?

I would think that would be only the case if she was a superior of him, I suppose the shop wasn't open yet either and they were the only two there. Then it would just boil down to consent. Come to think about it I heard about stories about things happening in an hot file archive and management knew who they were. Personally I have been slapped on the butt by my direct superior once. As for booze I remember a boss refilling my champagne glass once more and it was a morning meeting.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 16 Mar 2017, 04:42 ---So, onto another subject: Sam isn't feeling well. I'm wondering if this will 'splash' onto other cast members? Momo being roped into help as she is, by definition, immune to micro-organisms, for example? Or even something like this:
VERONICA: "I'm sorry about that, Faye. Sam's on the hard cold medication and she's a bit out of it as a result!"
FAYE: "Man! I never realised the kid knew so many cuss words!"

Or a Sam health crisis arc waiting in the wings.

if you've ever had kids that age, you'd know that the days when they don't have some sort of sniffles/bug are the exception. Grade school kids are illness magnets.
