The worst part is...I think it is the MANAGER'S fault.

She spilled salt on an open box of burgers and reported it to him. He had her and another co-worker "thump the salt off of" the meat AND LEAVE IT THERE TO BE USED, rather than wasting it and taking the hit on his product ratio. (I was a manager YEARS ago in college).

Synagogue seats go for 1.8 million

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_synag...zgTFrBPRntiBIF

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Just in time for the Jewish high holidays, two lifetime front-row seats to services at a synagogue here are being auctioned off on eBay. The bidding starts at $1.8 million.

Besides getting to schmooze up front with the rabbi, the lucky winner's family name will be engraved on Seats 1 and 2 of Row 1, Section DD, at Temple Emanu-El. The winner also will receive free parking, two custom-made prayer shawls and yarmulkes, and a hefty tax write-off. Plus, the winning bidder can pass the seats down to his or her children.
"It's a gift that goes from one generation to another," said Rabbi Kliel Rose, who came up with the concept with a little bit of chutzpah and the help of two congregants who work in advertising and marketing.
The auction ends Monday morning, but as of Saturday evening, no one had made a wager. Rose said he wasn't surprised. He said the auction was more about gaining the attention of Jews who are disconnected from their faith.
"It has very little to do with the money," Rose said. "Hypothetically, if the money comes, it would be great, but the idea was really just to be edgy."
Temple Emanu-El is a 1,400-seat conservative congregation that was founded in the 1940s on South Beach. It had thousands of members in its heyday, but the temple shrunk to a little more than 200 families by the time Rose arrived two years ago.
(This version CORRECTS the time the auction ends to Monday morning.)

dopey thieves steal woman's dwarfs

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070910/...Q5TrCGHh3tiBIF

FLINT TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Some dopey thieves snatched and grabbed several of Sue Austin's seven dwarfs. "I'm thinking it's just some kids," said the Flint Township resident, who is offering a "no questions asked" reward for the return of the statues.

Stolen from Austin's display are Grumpy, a 2 1/2-foot concrete statue, along with Snow White, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey. On Sunday, following an anonymous tip to Austin, Dopey was found in a front yard in nearby Davison Township.
Each statue weighs more than 200 pounds, which might be why the thieves decided to leave behind Sleepy, Happy and Doc, The Flint Journal recently reported.
Austin said she saw a similar display about 10 years ago and liked it so much that her husband bought the statues.
