Millennials Share 30 Things Generation Z Doesn’t Know About, And It Will Make You Feel Old

My best friend and I had a notebook full of notes that we would pass back and forth. There ended up being 2 volumes. We STILL have them (graduated in 95) and trade them back and forth every few years:-)

Japanese Photographer Lost His Fujifilm Ambassador Status Because Of His “Offensive” Shooting Style

It is fairly normal in many countries that people/things in public space is public domain. There are very complicated and sensitive issues surrounding the usage of the images generated in public space, however, legally in a nutshell, public space and what's in it is public domain. This include UK, EU, US, as well as Japan, so far as I know. You can learn more from AOP or similar institution about this. It is, by the way, an entirely separate story from this man's shooting style, that's another discussion altogether.

This Coffee Shop Employee Found A Genius Way To Deal With Jerk Customers, Asks People If She’s Mean For Doing So

Repeat after me: customer service does not mean that you have to take abuse from clients! The idea that dealing with people taking out their anger and rage on you is false. I'm sorry but we aren't paid therapist for you to unload on. We are people providing a service for you and unless you have an actual complaint like it's the wrong order and still then you need to remember that you are dealing with actual human beings and that respect should be included. People treating customer service employees as garbage are the real assholes here!! Yes, managers are there to mediate issues but again, most things are out of their control. The coffee is not hot enough? The manager can clearly do nothing about it since op said themselves that it comes from a machine. As much as we laugh and hate them, I've been a manager and had some great ones and we all had one thing in common: the notion that the customer isn't always right. I even had a manager with a cane take a super long time to come whenever we had impossible clients because he wanted to piss them off and he knew that the second they saw his cane none of them would complain about it. And I'm talking about people trying to return worn underwear here!!

What baffles me is that there are people saying "Having to deal with rude people is part of the job." I hear it when they are talking about almost any job including first responders and it gets me furious. NO, it's not part of the job to accept rudeness, threats and insults when people are trying to help people. I'm lucky that my boss agreed with me when I refused service to rude people. But a lot of workers have to put up with it just because people think that "it's part of their job."

30 Recipes From The Past That Show How Everything Has Evolved, Even Our Taste

My parents had these cookbooks. The answer is: It was basically very cheap and it could trick you into being full more. Jellied meats have been around for centuries, and preserving things in jelly was very common. A lot of this stuff is pretty gross, but from memory, you could overcome the gross once you were hungry enough. And that's basically it - you've got to suddenly work out a way to feed guests on nothing. Out comes the gelatin.
