When I was a manager I was responsible.

I have been in the past a manager at to retail places. One was a rental car company and the other were some parking garages. In all situations as the manager I was responsible not only for the all the hard products like the building or rental cars but also for the soft products like the employees. Why does that now not include our federal elected officials?

 

[vvvvvvv]

Because those officials aren't supposed to be the managers. We are supposed to be the managers. The problem is, we're too afraid to fire them.

Nobody these days wants to take responsibility. Society in general has gone that way. People all the time do stupid stuff and get hurt and it is never their fault, it is someone elses. Spill hot coffee on your lap, McDonald is at fault. Jump a fence at the zoo to get into the Tiger Cage, guess what the zoo is at fault in this blame everyone society. We need people to start taking responsibility. From the leaders in DC to the retards that put them there.

This a commonly overlooked problem plaguing this nation. We need tighter cheese regulations.

from bash.org:
<samsim> I heard about this guy who broke into a lion's den at the zoo
<samsim> and got mauled
<samsim> and people were talking about how there should have been better defences put up to prevent people getting into the cage
<samsim> a friend of mine suggested setting up some kind of deterrent
<samsim> for example, putting some sort of fierce animal in the cage, which would attack anybody who climbed in

Spill hot coffee on your lap, McDonald is at fault.

The injuries would not have been sustained had McDonald's not knowingly brewed their coffee at temperatures that significantly exceeded the industry norm and were known to be unsafe.

Yet they always had hot coffee, now it is slightly warm :-(

I used to make snide remarks about the Liebeck vs McDonald's case, until I read the particulars.

Liebeck suffered 3rd degree burns, required skin grafts and spent two years receiving medical treatment related to the burns.
She had not retained an attorney when she asked McDonalds for $20,000 to cover the medical bills (she had already spent $10,500). They offered her $800. She retained an attorney and the rest is history.

I'm glad that some people have actually taken a look at that case. So many were so busy criticizing her without looking at the facts, but I was of the opinion that McDonalds broke that one off in their own hind end by how they handled her complaint. Back then, I wouldn't touch their McLava because it was so damn hot, and it tasted burnt even when fresh.
