Wow, that's some serious grumppage

It's not like they make all that money to begin with. Sweating away over a rocketship engine hot wok burner for hours on end to ensure you're beef is cooked just right...for what...7-9 bucks an entree?

What follows is a true story, just happened a few months ago.

I was picking up a large order of Chinese take out from the joint on Main in North Tiverton. Where they have a very large plastic tip jar on the counter next to the register.

As I'm walking out the door with a bag in each hand I hear a bit of a ruckus inside, then right behind me bolts a young guy...cradeling the TIP JAR!

He nearly bumped into me from behind, but managed to sneak around and started to dash across the parking lot.

Right about this time I'm thinking to myself if it's worth dropping the bags and doing my best Mike Singletary

When suddenly, the tip jar remembered it was previously bolted to the counter and no longer had a a bottom

Like a blooming flower, it explodes sending change up and across the entire parking lot

The woman comes out and I ask if they called the police...no, she says...this third time happen this year!
