Coincidence?
Yesterday at the shop I seen a guy get shortchanged, a 10 for a 20, and then during dinner I unintentionally watched that Seinfeld where George get's shortchanged a 10 for a 20. So I'm sitting there thinking, "Wow, that's a big coincidence." And then Elaine and Rava have that conversation about whether or not there are big and small coincidences.

Is it a coincidence that i didn't think about or have and experiences with being short changed on the same day that you had 2 such occurences?
Also on a completely unrelated note, yesterday i was at cili kaimas and they wouldn't let us play cards. What the hell!!!! that was the whole reason we went there, to have someplace to go inside and play. Never going to cili kaimas again. The reason i bring it up is because i recall you me gedas and juste playing cards at chile kaimas when seths ran out of beer. What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also is a coincidence that they wouldn't let me play cards at the same place we played cards at before? and if so, is it a big coincidence, or a little coincidence?
order the beer before you pull out the cards; it'll be much more of a loss to them if you leave after they've poured the beer, I think the waiter might even be penalized for it.
you are certainly exactly correct, and that's what we did, but i didn't want to penalize the waitress for cile kaimas' policy. It's not like she came up to us just to be an ass, it's cile kaimas' fault. If you were at work doing your job according to regulations and then you got penalized for it, it's not fair to her. I intended to write an email to their management, but their website doesn't work, so maybe i'll have to go and try to talk to their manager sometime.
But tonight we were at a smaller pizzeria drinking, and once again they told us the same thing. What the fuck is wrong with lithuania. One lithuanian girl told me something along the lines of only low class people play cards or something like their is a stereotype about people who play cards. She didn't say it that way, but that's the impression i got from what she said.
You are allowed to go to a bar and sit by yourself and read a book, but a group of people drinking plenty of beer can't play cards?!?!?!? I didn't want to leave this summer, but maybe it's time for me to go back to the US. In the US the customer is always right, it seems like in LT the customer is always wrong.
I do indeed this it's completely fair to penalize an employee for doing her job according to regulations, if those regulations are wrong. The the employee is not thrilled but this, she ought to bitch to her boss, which is how such stupid rules get changed. You were unable to reach the management, but I think the waitress would have managed.
Another example, I participated once in a project where everybody got screwed on hours and pay, and the woman in charge kept saying, "why are you all mad at me, I didn't create all these terrible conditions, I'm just doing my job according to regulations!" First of all, if you agree to screw people because that's the policy, you better get used to people bitching at you because you deserve it. Second of all, you better get used to people bitching at you because you're their link to the upper management. The top person making those decisions won't agree to host a hoi polloi bitch session, so you gotta take it out on the lowest rung and hope for a chain reaction.
Incidentally, penalizing the waitress, or low level manager, is not good business, and if that's your solution as a boss instead of changing your shitty policy, you'll get your comeupance soon, as did not the manager of the project I mentioned when everything fell through, but his bosses boss; his policy was really at fault.
