Yeah, I probably could and I bet they would honor it, but I don't have an ability to really do it today and I think waiting any longer than a day would look kind of petty on my part.

I more came here looking for the justification that I'm not crazy for being annoyed about it.

No, not crazy. Once in college when I analyzed my statements carefully line-by-line, I disputed a charge with my credit card company where someone had added like $2 extra to their already-fine tip. I figured that person probably did it habitually and maybe reporting it would help make it stop. It would probably be sorta easy for restaurants/servers to get away with adding $1-2 extra on every tip because most people probably just do a quick scan down their statement and they wouldn't notice the difference between a $35 and $37 meal charge.

We can take this "radical English discussion" to PM if you'd like, but I can't really accurately describe to you the methodological/pedagogical/practical differences between my institution's graduate programs in Radio-Television-Film / Communications / English / Rhetoric / American Studies. Except that you can pursue any modes or types of "argumentation theory, political traditions and contemporary modes of address" in an English department and that their degrees are fully-funded (whereas the other degree-programs are not).

ok I have moved the "rhetoric as a field of study" portion of this radical English discussion to private messages.

recommended reading list for english gre - http://faculty.goucher.edu/eng215/recommended_GRE_list_copy.htm

i've read about half that list and i'm pretty proud of that accomplishment

i do think wake's english degree is well-rounded

i had a writing focus, and took 4 writing courses, but i also had a seminar on milton, a seminar on pluralism/CRT, an 18th century class, a shakespeare class, eastern european lit (taught in russian department), af-am poetry, 19th century class, postmodernism class, american romanticism class, and an individual study on critical race theory and education

with all those i maybe read 15 off that list for classes at wake (alongside the dozens more not represented there)
 
Let's get back to talking about legal recreational weed
 
Pretty stoked about the tickets I just picked up for the Charleston Food Film Festival: They're going to debut the Charleston episode of No Reservations and serve all the foods from the episode. Open bar too. I'm thinking there's a 90% chance for a Bill Murray appearance at this thing.

Any good manager will hand you $15, even it he doesn't really believe you.

A good manager will give you a gift card for the amount, plus maybe a little extra, to guarantee you return to the restaurant.
