Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder

I can't believe they are still going on about the amount they pay their waitstaff. It doesn't matter how much they pay them. Federal LAW states that the employer cannot take the tips unless there is an agreed-upon tip pool (and there was not).

These people are crazy. Too bad they're crazy people with money to keep this going on and on instead of learning a lesson or two.

Re: “Seriously, People, Tell Domestic Harmony to Go F—k Itself

Mammey thinks it is not well mannered to use cursing in these posts, but it is perfectly acceptable to tell someone (me) to go commit suicide. I smell a hypocritical rat.

Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder

"In fact, wait staff is paid $8-$14 per hour, two and half to nearly five times the standard hourly wage for servers."

By my math they think the minimum wage is somewhere between $4 and $4.60 an hour give or take...

Can't wait to see the debacle and aftermath of their continued FAIL.

Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder

They can put up a happy face for the night but what happens when someone critiques her food? She will flip out again and acuse you of being a hater. The crazy can't simply go away. She already showed her true colors. Even Gordon himself said that whatever changes they implement will only be temporary and will go back to their way"crazy ways" sooner than later

Jarrett Maupin is a "civil rights activist"? Please, the only thing that guy activates is his own ego.

For the most part, swearing is boring. Use words I don't know so I have to look them up!

Re: “Amy's Baking Company Says 'We Were Hacked!' Following Yesterday's Scorched Earth Campaign

How do I know they were hacked? Well they were deleting comments for one. Thats really nice of the hacker to delete bad comments. To make matters worse, after the announcement of hacking, they went to their photo pages and changed the description to racists comments. Every photo, after the hack announcement, was changed to look like it was hacked. When I call them out on FB, they delete it. I know because I quoted it on a page, then went back and they added some more text. I hope they didn't call the FBI and the police because that is illegal to file a false report. It is so easy to prove too.

Re: “Seriously, People, Tell Domestic Harmony to Go F—k Itself

Mammey, let's lay this to rest: Cursing isn't necessary, but use of it is a reflection of the culture that exists, not a sanitized, white-washed version that we wish we could take part in.

In Mari's case, the idea of telling domestic harmony to go fuck itself could easily be seen as wanting to dismiss the concept with extreme prejudice -- to say, as clearly and proudly as possible, that it's an outdated, useless ideal and that people should be focusing on creating the best of life as it is, rather than to hope and pray that one day, everything will be absolutely perfect.

That's not to say that no one believes culture can't be improved, but to campaign vehemently against the use of swearing is a bit like attempting to close the barn doors after the horses have already escaped, bred in the wild, raised their young, grown old and died.

All that said, while your efforts are admirable, they're also misguided, not to mention a waste of your energies -- particularly in the comments section of an alternative weekly's website. Lay off it.

Re: “Sales Tax Might Be Close to Simplifying — Again

Republican speak:

'“I have found that [the cities] move the goal post,” Lesko said. "They agree on something and then they change their mind. It’s going to be whatever the Governor and the Legislature believes is best. We are not going to wait until the cites agree with everything they want. We don’t want to hurt the cities, but we need to move forward.”'

So we'll hurt the cities...

No mammey, I don't get the point. Its seems archaic and frivolous. To each their own I suppose.

Re: “AZ Legislature: Budget Showdown Set for Thursday

I hope the Republican spat results in the killing of the bill destroying Clean Elections. The people of the state established Clean Elections for a reason and the legislature, and I don't care which party is behind it, should be keeping their hands off of it.

I want my candidates being elected, and going into office, beholden to no special interest who may have bankrolled their campaign. Let's continue being a model of public financing of elections for this nation.

ADDITIONALLY -- IF YOU REVIEW the photos on their Facebook page, NEARLY ALL food photograph (listed as shot in-house) were taken/stolen from other pages throughout the internet -- AND CLAIMED AS THEIR FOOD. Again, CLEARLY deceptive, if not Fraudulent.
