Disgusting Things I Have Eaten

You guys the 14th installment of our favorite blog in the world (and soon to be yours too!!!), Inhuman Eating Machine, has posted. This entry is a somewhat more sober affair in which our intrepid blogger Andy makes amends for wrongdoing and takes a trip deep into his past by visiting the local East Bay eateries once frequented by his ex-wife. Hijinks ensue. Go check it out!

Things were not so happy on April 9, when seven baristas, nearly the entire staff, quit over what they termed a “perpetually malicious, hostile and demeaning work environment” under Carol McLaughlin, the other owner.

Ms. McLaughlin attributed the difficulties to an absence of communication and a clash of expectations. She said some workers had been put into leadership positions before they were ready.

“If they had made it clear that my coaching technique was not being received well, I could have changed it,” Ms. McLaughlin said, adding that some employees had chosen to stay.

Ms. Scherer, who has acknowledged that Ms. McLaughlin can be “like a drill sergeant,” declined to discuss the matter in detail on Monday.

While we still stick to our belief that Gorilla Coffee tastes like giving a rim job to a camel we commend management for replacing their precious whiny workers—and really, the service there was always slow at best and rude and condescending more often than not, perhaps these baristas will be a marked improvement over the previous regime who were more concerned with sowing the seeds for insurrection than with properly making an Americano. Let this be a lesson to any idealistic baristas out there charged with the spirit of a Diego Rivera quasi-Socialist WPA-funded mural that just because you take up arms after being yelled at by your boss and walk off the job at the end of the day you are still just pouring coffee for yuppies and thus are easily replaceable.

SAVANNAH — A Garden City woman is in jail after authorities say she allegedly threw a knife during a fight over the wrong brand of beer, striking and seriously injuring a 3-year-old girl.

It’s unclear what charges Lorraine Bulloch faces. Garden City Capt. Al Jelinski says she was drunk when she got into an argument with her brother at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday after he came home with the wrong brand of beer.

Police say Bulloch allegedly picked up a knife and threw it at her brother, but he ducked and the blade ended up striking the 3-year-old in the head.

Paramedics rushed the little girl to Memorial University Medical Center with what Jelinski describes as serious injuries.

Bulloch was booked into the Chatham County jail.
