Sure Corporations Are People — Cold, Heartless, Bastard People

A waitress at an Outback Steakhouse in Florida spends a good part of her shift putting together a 75-meal takeout order for a megachurch. The guy who picks it up pays the $735 but leaves no tip. The waitress is steamed and posts about it on Facebook (without mentioning where she worked). It gets back to the church, which calls the restaurant to say they were sorry and to make it right with the waitress. When she gets to work, she’s fired. Why? Because it’s corporate policy to fire anyone who says anything about a customer on social media.

Notice that both the folks at the church and the waitress just want what’s right. It’s the corporation and its rules that fucked things up for everybody. I wouldn’t eat at an Outback anyway, but this is what millions of unadventurous people eating at chain restaurants has wrought.

You know why corporations aren’t people? Because they aren’t alive. In fact, the evidence is that they suck the life out of everything they touch. Just look at what they’ve done to Delaware.
