August 2014
Killian Jones had been born on the right side of the tracks on a night when the stars were in perfect alignment.Ā He lived a life having parents who were overjoyed by his birth because they had given up hope of having a second child, a brother who allowed him to tag along wherever he went, and friends he loved and whom he could depend on whenever needed. He also had a solid head on his shoulders and grew up with such a thirst for all types of knowledge that he kept his mother busy taking him to and from the local library, where he would check out books on everything from āHow to Grow the Best Orchidsā to āMaking the Most of a Designā. Ā Killian wasnāt a one-dimensional child either, for he had inherited his motherās appreciation for beauty and could describe a painting as easily as he could recite poetry.Ā Ā From a very young age, he loved visiting all types of museums and asking questions of his parents and, eventually, of his teachers and their answers satisfied him for a time. Ā But as he grew, while he continued to strive to learn and understand the world around him, he always felt that there was more out there. Ā A part of him that was always searching for that elusive something that he knew was out there; but what or whom it was, the search continued.
As a young boy, his parents had been inseparable, and their love and affection for each other and for their children was apparent to anyone they were around.Ā Ā There was a sense of the Jones family against the world and, in a way, it had always been that way, as Katherineās parents never warmed up to the boy from the wrong side of London, whisking their daughter away from the society where they thought she belonged.Ā Ā Even after Brennan had made his way as a successful banker throughout Europe, a distance still existed, and for that reason their small family remained isolated, spending their summers together picnicking, boating and playing football, and skiing, skating and visiting museums in the winter.Ā Ā
Since learning had always come easily to Killian, he had high marks and found his way into the Imperial College London to study engineering at the young age of eighteen.Ā Ā Moving away from home and into dormitory life, where he met his best mate Robin Locksley, gave him a freedom that he had never known, and much to his mother and fatherās consternation, he had ended up on academic probation after the first year.Ā Ā Ā A stern lecture by his father and the threat of being forced to join his brother in the Royal Navy seemed to be just the motivation he required for not only his status within the programĀ but also his behavior in general. Ā During his second and third year, his standing improved, earning him top awards. Ā But then tragedy struck, taking both parents in one fell swoop and he had spiraled down, no longer caring about himself or anyone else, and wishing the person responsibleĀ for his parentsā death hadnāt died with them so he could extract his own revenge.Ā Ā Only well-placed guilt from Liam had pushed him to complete his final year and graduate.Ā

loved this scene! :DĀ
A man stopped by the Applebees that fired that waitress for posting the receipt from a pastor who didnāt want to give her a tip. This was the letter he left. It reads:Ā
Dear Applebeeās:
Let me cut to the chase: I find your termination of Ms. Chelsea Welch (an otherwise excellent and hard working employee) downright deplorable and appalling. As far as Iām concerned, she did absolutely NOTHING āwrongā when posting the image of that receipt with that insulting comment made by the customer Pastor Alois Bell.
First off, there was absolutely nothing mentioned in the employee handbook admonishing this kind of behavior, but more importantly (if you wish to argue otherwise) just how much āpersonal informationā could have possibly been divulged to the public just by the customerās signature? NOWHERE was the customerās full name, credit card information, address or even YOUR restaurantās name indicated on the photograph of that receipt which is far more incriminating and potentially damaging information than just a signature alone.
How is a mere signature going to help a criminal commit an act of identity theft? Local health inspectors and fire/safety inspectors have their signatures prominently displayed on certificates posted publicly by restaurants like yours⦠can THEY complain that you publicly displayed their āprivate informationā?
As far as Iām concerned the only ādamageā done was to the pastorās shallow and āpreciousā ego. Nothing more, nothing less. She couldāve have simply ignored the post, not said anything and just went on with her cheap and inconsiderate, stingy ways. No one wouldāve been the wiser. But no. She HAD to complain to the manager and have an otherwise fantastic employee fired simply because she was embarrassed.
Ms. Welch did absolutely NOTHING to publicly embarrass/humiliate herā¦. MS. BELL DID. And cared more about her ego than actually righting a wrong and offering to not only fairly tip what was rightfully due to Ms. Welch, but fight to get her re-hired. Ms. Alois Bell, the pathetic excuse of a human being she is, did absolutely NONE of that⦠and YOUR company has the NERVE to stand by her side???
As a part time pizza delivery driver myself, I KNOW first hand what its like to work for a less than minimum wage depending almost entirely on tips just to pay basic necessities such as food and rent. Yeah, I get the āaverageā principle and try not to take the occasional stuff so seriously, however, on some really bad days when I have runs that I have to drive far, using MY personal vehicle and MY personal gas, and get nothing, its not only very frustrating but completely unfair that I get taxed at federal minimum wage rate when [Iām] actually making LESS in that hour delivering to these inconsiderate customers who have no clue as to what SERVICE is all about. Essentially getting taxed on money that Iām NOT making. And THIS is what your company CONDONES and is PROUD OF?!?!?!
Long story short: I have come to your Easy Brunswick/Milltown restaurant NOT to order anythingā¦but to simply use the restroom, get my complimentary water with lemon and just LEAVE but not without generously tipping your server for doing nothing more than bringing me menus and water.
Furthermore I promised the server that should this letter appear online and go viral, that Iāll be returning to the store and DOUBLING his/her tip. And since he/she has my full permission and consent to post this letter online with MY NAME and signature fully visible, there isnāt ANYTHING that you can do about it.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully,
A now FORMER customer of yours,
Michael T. Zybura (attached $10)
