    all diners are sleazy, fact of life.

    What a broad veiw of the world.. It is nice that you have been to all of
    them to say that. The diners that I have been to are all charming and had
    extremely good food. Not to mention decent portions and friendly staff..
    That is if you take the time to take the stick out of your ass.

    toast meal.. we lived at denny's almost the year we did not have a kitchen
    in our apartment.. Was better then Mc Donalds :P Also used to have the
    soup and salad or a soup and sandwich.. depended on my mood at the time 😉

    have lousy food LOL

    Well it just sucks that the only thing I can drink at a diner is the
    water,
    and it usually has something floatng in it :oP~~
    As a jeweler if I didn't have a stone someone wanted I wouldn't be
    offended if they asked me to set one they brought me!
    Anyway - it's just a sleazy diner, as long as they are not offended to
    the
    point of spitting on my food I don't care.

    Quoted message said:

    From a servers point of view: This customer is so cheap that they have to
    bring in a tea bag from home.

    Why is is cheap? i only drink herbal tea and they don't sell it. i don't
    drink beverages with sugar and my only option is water so I may as well have
    the tea i like if i have it with me.

    Quoted message said:

    Can't wait to get that whole $2 tip, and for
    your information as a part time waitress at a NJ diner we do not spit in
    your food, we would be fired for that. Most diners have a regular base
    of
    customers, you would be suprised that they might bring in your flavor of
    tea
    or bottled water, just ask. As for sleazy diners?? We all pass health
    inspection, if we don't they shut us down. And if I don't like there
    brand
    of tea, or the taste of there water I will find another diner that has
    what I
    like. Average sale at a diner $6.00-- Average sale at a Jewler??? do
    the
    math of course your going to accomadate your customer.

    i am not a regular patron at any diner so I wouldn't be in a position to
    make a special request.

    No what you said was all diners are sleazy.. not the local ones or the one
    down by the docks with the rat droppings and the druggies standing by the
    door. I do know how to read and have great critical thinking skills even if
    I can not always spell it out.

    Looking at a french fry almost gags me now.. we ate out SO much and I really
    craved home made food.. If Jeff asked me where I wanted to eat I would say
    Denny's he would pick Mc Donald or Burger King or Wendy's.. I just wanted to
    eat someplace that did not make you have fries.. ewww.

    *NOBODY* uses powdered eggs any more. That was WWII stuff. Powdered eggs
    cost more than fresh if you can even find them. In all my decades of food
    service, I've never seen powdered eggs at a food show, in a catalog or had
    a salesperson try to sell me some. >

    DH says they had powdered eggs in boy scout camp and college. I did a quick
    google and found plenty for sale:

    We don't have Denny's here. They have all those Whammy-bammy meals and such,
    right? We have alot of Ruby Tuesday's, Fridays, Outback - like that for fast
    food and then McDs, wendys', taco bell etc.

    That must've been tough. We are going to do our kitchen now and will be able
    to BBQ and we eat so much salad anyway and have the George foreman grill. I
    don't see that we 'd have to resort to fast food. Have enough family
    closeby to mooch meals when needed I guess!

    The place we lived was so bad electricly that if you used a hot plate it
    would throw the breaker! It was awful. Our living room here is about the
    size of the whole apartment there.. It was really a room with a bathroom..
    had to pay extra for the bathroom.. It was actualy our secound apartment
    together.. The first was WAY better.. but in Wisconsin.. The secound was in
    Nashua NH.. rent was outragous... *sigh*

    I wonder what "outrageous" is in Nashua...care to share? We are looking at

    costs in different areas.

    DH toys with going to VT, you can get so much more than here. I don't know
    if I can stand the cold.

    without novacain😉 Anyway my cloths that I have from walmart have lasted
    years. Some I have wished would wear out faster then other things 😉

    I prefer New England cold to Wisconsin cold.. My rent for a 1 room apartment
    no kitchen with a bathroom was $175 a week. We pay a very cheap $460 a
    month here for rent. Though this is a cheap rent even for here by about
    $100 a month for a 2 bedroom. Our last apartment was better then the 1 room
    but not as nice as here..

    ROFL!! You're doing this on purpose, right? Baiting the hook and
    letting them knock themselves out?

    I'm surprised your Walmart shirt is willing to share dresser space with
    your Barney's wardrobe.

    for them to grow in...

    something- kept bleeding all night, i was spittin gmouthfulls of blood and
    coagulated blood out all night. I couldn't get anyone onthe phone till after
    7am, I was so weak and woozy. It was awful!!

    was terrified of needles to the point that I got fillings without
    novacain😉

    I get my fillings with no novacaine also. It's easier. You just deal with it
    for a few minutes than don't have to deal witht he annoying recovery from
    the novacaine. I hate that stuff!!

    I wonder what "outrageous" is in Nashua...care to share? We are looking at
    buying another house so I am just curious about apartment rates/housing
    costs in different areas.

    DH toys with going to VT, you can get so much more than here. I don't know
    if I can stand the cold.

    Where in NY are you? It's very similar in terms of climate.

    I don't know where in VT you're thinking of looking, but it's not all
    cheaper than NY metro. Especially NY Metro where the sleaziest diners are.

    I'm GREEK and live in NY - you don't think I have people in the business?
    I never said Wal-mart shoppers were sleazy, probably said toothless or
    something along those lines - I'd have to google it and, well - I just
    don't really care.

    ROFL!! You're doing this on purpose, right? Baiting the hook and letting
    them knock themselves out?

    Having a Wal-mart nearby I stand by my original opinions. I do own a
    shirt from there now (cheap little thing - I am wearing it in my "after"
    pic if you saw that)

    I'm surprised your Walmart shirt is willing to share dresser space with
    your Barney's wardrobe.

    I had one skirt up and walk out.

    LOL - I don't have a high-end wardrobe actually, mostly thrift shop stuff.
    Losing weight so quickly you could go broke replacing everything as the
    sizes go down and down and down. But I do know the difference in quality.
    You don't think Wal-mart is the equivelant product to the higher end stores
    do you?
