book recommendation for the latest virus threat.

was a thing out of  a science fiction novel  when i first read it- back about ten years ago (although it was a  tremendous threat, it wasn't prevalent ) when i first read this novel, anyway excellent  read for what is going on now. extremely unfortunate it is now started to surface .

What are the chances of this happening?

Well was hungry after my work shift last night.. finished my shift and considered going to Tito's Taco's on Washington pl. however changed my mind (Tito's was close to closing, it was close to the ten pm hour, so i thought would venture to a place that was open a bit longer and i didn't have to rush somewhere). So i headed back to closer to where i reside. Found the local Yoshinoya (i kind of live in the suburbs of Los Angeles) so it was quiet in the restaurant. decided to go into the dining room, rather than the drive thru.The dining  room was completely empty. There were no other quest's in the dining room and the restaurant was closing in a hour.As i surveyed the tables i picked the largest one in the dining room that sat like eight people. In the back of my mind i hoped a party of eight would not come into the dining room in this quiet area of the south bay .. ordered my meal got my soda and had a seat at the largest eight seater table in the restaurant. My food came out , after a few minutes a large van pulled into the parking lot and entered the restaurant and proceeded to the cashier . yes like 6- to 8 people and i was sitting at the largest table trying to relax and not rush (like i get rushed all week during my work week) Anyway WHAT ARE The Chance's of this happening? Anyway kind of sped up my meal (and i didn't really want to) as soon as i got up, Two of the teenagers sat at my table. Well not sure why i am posting this , it's just seems you can never get a break sometimes if you do something in the back of your mind( i mean there were smaller table's and i actually considered it for a moment) but i picked the one and the only largest table.. and sure enough, a large family pulled into the restaurant, kind of in a sense interrupting my  late dinner ( a big pet peeve of mine, when i sit down to eat it is the only time i don't like to be interrupted by a family coming into the restaurant , my phone ringing , or work calling )Well what can you do?next time maybe i won't pick the biggest table in the dining room for myself!

loading up my old sony bean, still works, my playlist today(haven't changed the playlist since 07-29-13) kind of a pain to load songs but anyway my list.

This has been on my mind all day. it's actually a topic about tips & gratuity's.

OK went to get a submarine sandwich for lunch today. Actually i ordered a regular tuna sandwich w/ cheese and  had it MXXX's way.. won't say what chain but that is a hint.. with the M being legit and the X's to be covering the real name . My problem was when i went to pay , i payed with my debit card, and when i went to look the screen it gave me four choice's i believe. leave 10% , leave 15% or leave 20% i believe where the options. and the last being leave no gratuity,  ya know when you swipe your card that machine, not sure the correct term for it, the machine where you swipe your credit card. just googled it : i believe the term is magnetic strip reader .Anyway left 10% . The point of this little blog is , feel that some of these sandwich shops are a bit aggressive with the gratuity , i mean it's like a theatrical spectacle sometimes with cow bells if you leave a tip , or sometimes they shout out "beer money" . one time i left a 5% gratuity at the same chain that yells out "beer money" (and when the cashier saw the 5% gratuity it was a very unenthusiastic    "beer money') . OK i worked in 
the restaurant industry for years and relied on tips to make ends meet .However i was a server in a full service restaurant, which make's it different. it's just when you go out today you see tip jar's at donut shops, juice bars ,pizzeria's yogurt shops , salad makers that make the salad for ya, but don't actually serve you, etc.etc.Everywhere tip jars are so prevalent.Remember going to a sub shop in my hometown called Bob Nadeau's (in Manchester NH, wonder if they have tip jars, today, anyway best steak and cheese in the Northeast) Was just a teenager in those days and you just didn't leave a gratuity. Why doesn't the corporation give the worker's a better hourly wage  rather then  have them acting as organized beggars (actor's) to get a extra tip.We live in a very recessionary time and being borderline extorted at the submarine shop  is not good business practice. Imagine if you went to pay with your credit card at a Mcdonald's and the cashier gave you a slip with a tip line to tip her (or the employees had a tip jar). Sandwich shops are very similar to a Mcdonald's if you think about it!
