The Subway tip cup bothers me. If the franchise can't pay their sandwich artists enough to earn a living, I don't know that my fifty cents is going to make a dent.
Maybe as a Subway Franchise they can't legally ask for tips. So it's like a clever way of getting around that rule. Like "Hey man we just put up this cup and people just put money into it, we can't control what people do with their money". "But it says tips on here". "No man it's in quotation marks like this is theoretically where tips would go if we believed in them...it's a statement man".
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.
