      I deadass thought the tire company and the restoraunt rating system were two completely different and unrelated things. Wow

        I thought so too for the longest time. My wife is a chef though, so it’s come up a couple of times since we got together…

            lol, na. She doesn’t even work in kitchens anymore and has less than no desire to. Too stressful and shitty hours. Plus, with some of her chronic conditions, the hours and hours standing would be unbearable.

            She makes some of the best god damned food I’ve ever tasted though…

                Concur… when I worked food service, I worked front of house. I hated the work, but the camaraderie among the weight staff was great. Definitely grew as a person in that time. Mutual experience with food service is part of how we fell in love.

                  That’s cool, and you’re right about the camaraderie. I’ve never had another job where we’d all sit around and drink and talk for hours after a shift. Sure, I’ve made friends at other jobs, but serving was a completely different animal.

      Thats some deep state level stuff. What if restaurants recommended tyres so people could continue to drive to their restaurant without worrying about safety.

        That’s no deep state level stuff, what the top comment describes is just what happened. Back in the day (60’s), advertising was very different from now. Some advertisements were quite long and explained the product in some depth, more like an infomercial. Others were meant to be useful or entertaining with the product more off to the side, like the michelin stars. Soaps are also a good example of this. Soap companies used to make elaborate household dramas to target their primary customers: Housewives. That is why we call soaps soaps, because the genre was invented/vastly utilized by soap companies.
