Most businesses are not gonna pay their employees a wage that would get quality people in those spots who are loyal and happy to be there.

If businesses started doing that, you would have awesome service and great employees working


So the McDonalds in other places pay more than the ones here?

Three weeks for a new patient to be seen.


That's actually pretty good.


That is pretty stealthy, took me five months to change dentists and my wife and kids were already patients at the new one.

By local miminum wage laws (and basic economics), yes, many do.

But I visited a McDonald's in Tennessee yesterday. Trust me, it's no better than south Louisiana.

I ordered at the kiosk, where there is no option to get a cup of ice water. When I picked up my order, I asked for one, and the clerk told me it would be 27 cents.

What were the appointments for? There's a big difference between "My wife needs to set up a new primary" and "My kid is sick."

You also conveniently chose to bitch about the former in your OP while not mentioning the latter.




She never set up a new PCP (despite me telling her to do so) and over the weekend she came down with Flu (tested at an urgent care) and she's feeling worse and wanted to see an actual doctor not an urgent care.

Give yourself a discount on at least a couple of items every time you shop. You deserve it, as only making registers with self-checkout available is the store's way of forcing you to work for them. It's ridiculous.

So you expect the doctor to drop everything because your wife was lazy?

It's flu. Liquid and rest, then move on after a few days. It sucks, but that's how we've treated it for thousands of years.

None of this has anything to do with south Louisiana.

Again, you conveniently failed to mention you got a new ped appointment in just 3 days, which is unheard of in any decent sized city in the west or east.

There’s people at my company that cannot read or write. Countless others who don’t know basic math.
I can’t complain because it makes my average intelligence appear savant like.

3 weeks is a short wait for a GP.

Sit back, drink a cold one & call Gordon to get it Done, Baw! It's how it's done in the Banana Republic of Louisiana. Keep the powder dry too, Baw. Dem drive byes have gotten worse. Lots of Dindoos about...but the food be C'est Bon, cher!

Why don’t you just move? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you do anything here other than bitch.

Or they can just raise their prices on groceries and have some 18 year old do it for you, probably slower than you could have done it?

Self check outs are awesome. I’m faster than the people who work there. Plus I don’t have to tell them not to bag the ground meat with a toothbrush.



Self checkouts have gotten much better over the years. I used to avoid them because they'd malfunction constantly and there was never anyone around to override it.

They seem to have taken all of the malfunctioning things like "place item in bagging area" off.

Not like in Louisiana. People where I live value retail type positions because jobs are scarce. They take pride in their work and it shows.

Only once have I had a bad experience at my local grocery store in the decade I’ve been here for example. And the cashier was from Louisiana go figure.

I like them more than using a cashier.

Filipinos do much of the service work locally, they kick arse and outwork white kids by a helluva lot.

the new ones that have started showing up in convenience stores are pretty nice. As long as you aren't buying something that requires ID.

The best thing about Louisiana and the worst thing about Louisiana is the same thing and it’s this.
