I mean, it's just like the 1980s. You could request to sit in the non-smoking section, but let's be real, the whole building smelled of smoke no matter how far away you sat. Same thing here. You're going to catch a bit of second hand murder viewing. That's just how it goes sometimes.
Have you ever seen a Gallagher show? No? Don't bother. It's often racist bullshit, but for some reason he then hits a watermellon with a hammer to splash the audience.
No, I'm not leaving out context. Racist joke, hits watermellon, big laughs. He was popular in the 80s with the boomers. It was as stupid as it sounds, but it does give you a good idea how big the splash zone would be.
I was going to try to argue that the restaurant is responsible for everything that happens in it but that would be bullshit. In a court of law, the restaraunt wouldn't be held responsible. At most, their responsibility is to kick the guy out and maybe call police if they had reason to suspect he'd commit violence. If it was out of the blue and they had no way of knowing it would happen, it's not their responsibility
Worked in a Waffle House 28 years ago. Never had a murder, but did have a rape, beating, two football fan crashouts and a drunk guy yelling at the menu for being disrespectful to his invisible wife. Gods I will never unsee any of that. Worse, I never got tipped. Layer moved to a more dangerous gig : Steak N Shake cook.
The only things people were doing with their cell phones was making calls, maybe a couple texts if you could afford it, and making those custom ring tones that Motorola let you do.
You know your town is going to shit when you can't even finish your baked mostaccioli because some asshole decided to stab his brother 5 feet away from you.

Well did the restaurant murder the guy? Because if not that’s bullshit.

The restaurant didn't murder the guy, but the reviewer requested a seat in the non-murdering section, so seating him right next to it loses a star.

Depends. If the chief murdered the guy, then that's the restaurant's responsibility for not keeping the chef secured.

That’s worth tipping for in a Waffle House considering you weren’t directly involved in the murder.

How are you handling the adjustment to life on the outside?
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 140d
if you can really call it life
ceenote@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 140d
Plus it's just the neighborly thing to do. They have to clean up the body, after all.

Dinner and a show?
5 stars.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 140d
Is 6 stars an option?

How about 7? 👁️

That's not too odd, but usually the murder weapon is legislation.

Was that politician the gangster who ran for office but was never elected? I don't remember hearing about this.

Murdered beside you? ...Did you do the murder, Cormac?
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social · 21 pts · 140d
"A man was murdered beside me during my meal."
"It was you! You murdered your dining companion!"
"That doesn't change the facts."
