    Management threatened to tell Bob Novak Doris’s route to work. That got her ass back pronto.

    Word is that Nancy Pelosi was found with an extra $10.

  4. They must have passed the hat and collected enough to pay the $9 that was going to cost this woman her job. Again, judge HBR and Halliburton by the same yardstick, please.

    Actually what happened is that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid rushed emergency legislation through Congress that makes it retroactively legal to take $9.00 from the register. It’s the Cash Register Security Act of 2008.

    It’s really elitist to post about stories only those aristocrats behind the paywall can access.

    That is some lunch lady transcendence.

    Doris must have decided to give change that we can believe in.

    tsunami: shameless.

    tsunami:

    It’s a long shot, but if you actually pull it off…Respect, dude. Respect.

  13. What a good news story! The people took on Big Cafeteria and won!

    …damn it, and I just invested into Peanut Butter and Jelly futures!!!

    Obviously the McDonald’s boycott would have been more effective if it had
    been organized by an informal group of House staffers.

    Hell hath no fury like an informal group of House staffers scorned.

    Actually, this story is rather touching. It shows that there are “human” beings with feelings and conscience, and even some rudimentary sense of community, right in the very heart of darkness.
