I suppose but you really can't say one way or the other, you don't have any data points at all. I at least have contact with the manager that evening. I am fairly confident he learned her at the end of her shift. If she didn't learn, she's probably not there anymore.

Just curious what she did wrong? I have had my fair share of bad service during the years. Name a few things that went wrong. Thanks in advance.

A smorgasbord of typical server maladies. Late first getting to the table, drinks wrong, late getting back to the table, basically checked out, food wrong, just an overall unpleasantness about her. Mostly a lot wrong and then she disappeared so it was hard to fix.

Then I had ordered 4 tartar sauces, he brings 4 cocktail sauces(which he did repeat the order when I asked him to, so he had it written down correctly). He even wrote my order down and was too lazy to verify anything. Then, get this, the jerk manager said our waiter was a good waiter. I wrote corporate over it and spoke to the lady. She agreed with a lot of stuff I said including she always said "Either use your brain or feet" meaning he should have checked the food with his written order BEFORE he brought it. He had many more trips than necessary to my table. No I didn't tip him. He didn't have one, NOT ONE sorry to speak of and as I said, cut in front of my turn since HE forgot my cheese and extra onions, so I shouldn't have had to sit and wait to eat my side salad. He should have told the couple he'd be right with them and gotten his forgotten items I had ordered well before those people got seated.

Anyway, Red Lobster has just gone downhill with service. The manager said "It's the pace of the restaurant", I was like "What", so my waiter can make a mistake and then my mistake I have that wasn't mine is going to be PUNISHED with my time even longer to fix the mistake simply because another customer is there that didn't call him over? Seriously, it's wacked. No one at the hostess's stand when I walked in and had to wait a minute or two for anyone to be there.

My point is, Red Lobster I am not understanding why the service is so bad there? They are letting managers be OK with servers not getting orders right and to cut in front of someone else's turn when mistakes happen.

Imagine having your side salad missing cheese and then the waiter not apologize for forgetting it, then go to greet the next table that ends up ordering their food, which most meals come with side salads, so it's a lengthy process to order there compared to if you just say you want one item at other places that don't offer most meals with side salads.

Anyway, my point is, I used to feel I'd go in there expecting good service until a few years ago or so. At least our Red Lobster anyway.

What I don't get is if you have a mistake(especially that THEY made), the server makes you wait twice as long to attend to other customers when they didn't call their server over? It's so mean to do that, it really is. It's PURE CUTTING turns just like if you were in a line or interrupting the server taking an order at another table. It's the same thing.
Service Service Service!!!

Who gives AF about service when the food is disgusting?!!!

Please tell me this is a troll account there is no way a sane person demands extra onions and cheese and flips their **** when it does not come out to their specific and curious needs.

Springs1 has GOT to be a known troll with a new name. Way too many words and way too bold for a new poster. And all in just this thread! Don't feed the trolls. Ignore!

p.s. "my wife" no longer indicates physical gender identification (and that is not a good thing).

I didn't "demand", I asked for it when I ordered. That's not a "demand", it's their JOB. Do you expect your server not to work for your tip or something?

First off, I didn't flip out because of the missing items, I flipped out, because he IGNORED his mistakes by not going fix them right away. He made me sit there 3-4 minutes while he got their food orders and yes it was quite that long. I had time to get up even and look to see where the manager was, which was nowhere to be found. It's not fair. I didn't go up to him while he was taking their orders and ask him for my stuff. I was being fair, why not the person that wants my money should expect to treat me fairly?

Also, I expect someone to be nice enough to say they are sorry when they mess up just like when they bring me the items or forgotten items even I STILL say "THANK YOU" to them. I **RESPECT** them, they should RESPECT ME out of common courtesy to be nice.

I wasn't mean and just told him NICELY about the issues. He should have gone to fix them. He should have compared his written order to the food in the first place and most likely didn't.

I NEVER ONCE "DEMANDED" ANYTHING. It's a JOB. You sound like you think servers should just drop a plate down, some drinks, and the check, then automatically get 20%. It's a JOB. The server should be willing to do the amount of WORK for it, NOT be lazy if they want your money that you DO NOT HAVE TO PAY THEM BY LAW! I didn't demand anything. These people weren't even in the building when I placed my original order. Cutting turns is not a nice thing to do. As I said, I respected that couple's turn to not interrupt, our waiter should have done the same for me.

Here's a post I posted about being in lines and cutting, I saved it in MS WORD:

One day I was in line at a store(Target) to return something with my basket of a few items. A lady was in front of me. They had this elastic band to show where the line was so you would have to literally go underneath it to get out the line. They had outside the line further away towards the window and door area some recycle bins. The lady that was in front of me had other people that were being checked out at the returns area ahead of her. This lady was SOOOOO VERY IMPATIENT she decided to actually get out the line to put something in the recycle bin. So what I did since she actually DID TRULY get out the line, I went in front of my basket and WOW she THREW A HISSY FIT literally trying to get in front of me as if she just didn't get out the line. She was "I was only gone for a few seconds." I told her "You could easily wait to do this AFTER or have done it BEFORE you got in line." "You leave a line, you lose your spot." I also told her" I **********NEVER*********************** leave lines and expect to *******************EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER*********** get the spot I ****HAD***(PAST TENSE) back. When I have forgotten something either I check out what I do have and go back to get what I forgot, then go in to like the 10 items or less line or self check out OR I decide to next time get it. I don't act like I am supposed to get back in the spot for ANY REASON. I don't care WHAT reason she had. There were times I saw like a dime on the ground and decided not to leave the line because I knew if I left the line, I would lose my spot and it wasn't worth 10 cents to leave the line for. I even made an example to her that if I forgot my money in car at Burger King, would I just be able to come back as if I never left and especially if someone else that wasn't in line made it before she came back that's another thing. She went ballistic crazy acting as if I did something horrible when she is the person that decided to be TOO IMPATIENT to WAIT until AFTER she was done with her return. So she would have had to take 5 seconds or so after she returned her items to put the items in the recycle bin, WOW, I don't get WHY her time was MORE PRECIOUS than ANYONE ELSE'S IN THIS UNIVERSE that she thought she could just magically come back without even ASKING if it was OK with me? I do mind since my time is important to me just as hers is. I don't ***EVER*** do this to another person in the world and that's why I feel so strongly as to why I did it. My time is important too and I would have loved to save seconds doing something else like reading a magazine for a few minutes instead of staring into space or something until the next person in line. I don't do that though. I don't care if it's 5 seconds you are gone, you left the line so you lose the spot you had. That's how lines work.

If you think about when they have black friday how people are with lines. You don't leave and expect to get back in unless you have someone you are with holding the spot for you.

This lady was so loud I was afraid she was going to get us both banned, so I just told the lady to be quite about it and "stop this." Then, get this, she again this time asking the cashiers since there were people behind her now, "Can I go put these other bags I have in the recycle bin and be able to come back in line?" I couldn't believe this lady? She was *****ing and complaining the entire time. I would do this again in a heartbeat, because I don't go outside the line once or twice and expect to just come back in line as if I NEVER LEFT. That has NEVER been how lines work. You don't leave. The store's shopping cart doesn't hold the spot you had if you had a shopping cart(she did). On black friday, I don't see people leaving shopping carts the night before and just coming back to reclaim the spot, I see them camping out to make sure they have their spot. So if I was in the wrong, NO ONE would camp outside in the cold if that was the case. Also, the cashiers of the return's line would have corrected me and they didn't say a word, because this lady was making a SCENE in the store LOUD like a LUNATIC as if someone just stole something from her or hurt her physically when NONE of that occurred.

WHY do you think they have the elastic line barriers? To show "THIS IS THE LINE and OUTSIDE OF THIS IS NOT THE LINE." That's why they have it.

I just cannot believe how IMPATIENT this lady was?? Why was it such a big deal to save 5 seconds(maybe 7 seconds if you count her 2nd trip out the line later on) that she could have just done that AFTER she finished her return? I don't quite get why should the person behind her has to give a care about her time when she sure didn't care about my time or the people that ended up being behind her? She was so SELFISH herself. We ended up having the 2 cashiers free at the same time so we got our turns at the same time anyway so then when I was in line still since my situation I got a manager involved for my price matches, she called me a "*****" as she left. That was sooooo IMMATURE of her and IDIOTIC. Especially when our turns ended up being at the same time since both cashiers finished at the same time so we both got to go up at the same time.

I don't quite get why she was so mad about it and why her precious 5 seconds savings had to be done while she was in line only to get out the line to do that and why she didn't just do it BEFORE she got in line or AFTER? I don't quite get this? It's like WOW lady, you are that impatient I thought to myself? I don't get out of lines no matter what as I said before, I just don't. I don't expect the shopping cart or even my jacket to hold the spot that I was in to get something. I have NEVER ONCE done this and I am 39yrs old. I have been around LOTS of lines and NEVER ONCE left a line and expected the spot I ************************HAD*********************** ********************* back as if I never left. I NEVER have done this before. I always if I had to leave the line, either go back in the same line back of the line or go to another line. I don't do this kind of a thing. I also don't get the RUSHINESS of this lady? If she didn't have time, she should not have recycled first of all since by law you don't have to do this, secondly, if you don't have time to return something, go next time you go to the store, thirdly, as I said why not do it after you get out the line or before you get in line? WHY leave a line and then expect to get back in just because the basket that is OWNED BY THE STORE is going to hold the spot you had and WHY they have the elastic band to show where the line is if you can truly leave the line?

This was the most ridiculous thing and she acted like I was wrong. I wasn't wrong. As I said before, if I was wrong then EVERYONE could do this and leave the basket they have the items in they want and not be there in line. I don't care if it was a few seconds. I don't do it, I expect others to do the same to respect my time that I take time away from my life to do things afterwards or before I get in line, she should too.

Also, my time is VERY IMPORTANT to me JUST AS HERS IS and if I can get a spot in line faster, WHY NOT? She didn't care about my time or the other people that came after her either. If she did, she would have either waited until she finished her return or done it beforehand or if she wanted to do it then, she should have gotten out the line with the cart and went into the back of the line. That's how MORALLY it SHOULD HAVE BEEN and she didn't do that.

Another story was at Walmart. I was waiting in a VERY LONG line like probably 15-20 minutes. As I was paying with my credit card so the machine had to do it's thing so it took some moments to process, this lady came up to get an item that apparently she had forgotten. I couldn't believe my eyes. The cashier actually was ended up ringing her up and the customer didn't even say anything. If that would have been me next, I sure the HELL WOULD have said "That's cutting, she needs to go to another checkout line, we have been waiting for like 20 minutes and all the people behind us." I don't understand why the cashier did that? If I were the cashier, I would have told the lady she needed to either get in the back of the line or go into another line(perhaps either self checkout or 10 items or less line). It's the principle of it. It's sure not fair and this lady was NOT in line when I nor the person behind me was in line. It's like this lady was gone for probably 25 minutes or so and just appeared. I have ALWAYS lived on MORALS AND PRINCIPLES to do the MORALLY RIGHT THING. I didn't get involved since it wasn't my turn that was altered since I had to get home myself, but would have been furious and if the cashier would have done this, I would have made a complaint to a manager about it for sure. I am not sure if they would have cared, but it IS TRULY the wrong moral thing to do. Cutting is cutting and you can't just leave, then get back in line. I don't care if it's one item, that's time taking away from someone else's life. We all have things to do. Our time is precious, especially if you are at Walmart you wait your life away in line at Walmart when you go at busy times like after work at night time like it was probably 6p.m. or later. It was VERY BUSY as I said how long we were waiting in line. I felt bad for this guy. I almost was going to invite him in front of me since he had less but I had a lot of things to do at home and it was late as it was, plus I had been waiting in line a long time already. I am sure glad I didn't though, because then that would have maybe happened to me if I would have done that. I felt bad for the guy, because we had waited a VERY LONG TIME and then finally when he was going to get his turn, the cashier decides to let this lady cut. I don't understand the mean world? WHY would a cashier do this? The cashier should have told the lady that she had to go into another line or get behind the line as I said. I know that's what I would have done for SURE without ANY DOUBTS in my mind what-so-ever. That's just the right thing to do. I don't care if she was in line before, she wasn't anymore and that was the entire point. This was even worse in a way than the other situation, because this lady was gone for maybe a half an hour who knows and then pops back in as if she didn't leave like WTH?? Everyone's seconds is important to them and I sure would NOT have let the crap happen if that would have been me. I would have put my foot down and said something like "OH NO YOU DON'T, I'm NEXT and so is the other people behind us that have been waiting." I would have scanned at least one item myself just to make sure she couldn't have done that crap. It's just not fair. We all have **** to do. I would have told the cashier that"It's cutting and we have been waiting like 20 minutes here, have some sympathy and make her go into another shorter line." If I would have been the customer, I wouldn't have even *********FATHOMED************ the cashier checking out the item. I would have immediately went to a shorter line like 10 items or less or checked out in jewelry(usually has not many people or something like that). I wouldn't have even THOUGHT to do that and if the cashier would have suggested it, I would have turned her down, because it's CUTTING, because it TRULY IS HONESTLY CUTTING!

Another time, I had a situation where a man had a big box at Walmart in the garden center area in front of me and another man that was checking out in front of him, so I was third in line in other words. The man in front of me with the big box said to the cashier he'd be right back to get a shopping cart. He was gone for around a minute or so since he had to go all the WAYYYY to the other entrance to get a shopping cart since we were in the garden center. I moved up, because he left the line. He comes back eventually and says to me something like this "Ma'am I was there before you." I told him "You left the line, you leave a line you lose the spot you had." I couldn't believe that the jerk in front of me was on his side which by the time then was paying. I don't understand why they think BOXES that are the property of WALMART HOLD their spots?

If you think about it, on Black Friday for example, if "THINGS" held your spot, NO ONE WOULD GO THROUGH THE HUGE TROUBLE OF CAMPING OUT DAYS ON END FOR THE SALES. They'd just leave, for example, a back pack or suit case or even a shopping cart or what have you with their name on it and return the next morning instantly have the first spot in line. He'd come back that morning time the store opens(like if it's 4a.m., they'd come back at 3:55a.m. to reclaim their spot). But in real life as we ALL KNOW, real life DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!! I am right, they were wrong.

WHY do people think that it's "THEIR SPOT" when they aren't in line anymore? WHY are people like this?

I have had people leave to get bread or something that they forgot as if the groceries in their cart and cart are holding their spot. There's NO SUCH THING as this. YOU have to be PHYSICALLY THERE or SOMEONE has to be physically there to hold the spot you had. Notice I said HAD, so if there is someone there, then that's a person that is in the spot that is yours, but if no one is there, WHY do people think they can just jump back in line as if they never left the line? I have NEVER heard of this?

The man also probably wouldn't have said anything if another customer was there that wasn't, it was only because I was there he said something I would think. If he would have, if I would have came afterwards, I would say "No you weren't in line, the box that WALMART OWNS is there, that's it. I mean he had to go all the way out to the front of the store to get the cart and then go all the way back to the garden center, which is a GOOD minute to a minute and a half probably walk at least. I cannot imagine thinking I'd get the spot I had back. I wouldn't have DREAMED of telling the person something. I mean if I left the line, I would have NEVER thought I could magically get back in because I was too IRRESPONSIBLE to get a shopping cart *************BEFORE************ I decided to get in line. That's so IRRESPONSIBLE! If he needed a shopping cart, he should not have gotten in line to begin with. That box wasn't even his even and then acting so like he owned it. The cashier saw this all and didn't say a word. You know why? Because I am right. The cashier couldn't defend the man. I couldn't believe the guy in front of me as he was paying was AGREEING with this jerk. It's like SO WHAT if he was there, he left a LONG TIME that if it was during a busy time, 3-4 people could have been there in that amount of time. Seriously, this was ignorant of both the customers. The cashier didn't say anything, because I was next, because I truly was. That time, I actually did have time, because that was a time in 2012 that I had been laid off. The thing was, I wanted to have MORALS and DO THE "RIGHT THING", because the man will do this again since I go to this Walmart to me or another person again if I would ever see him and I don't want him to do this to others. He needs to have morals in his life. TRULY, if I would have been that man, I would NOT have even thought ONCE that I should have the spot reclaimed back to me. I would have left the line and he didn't ask me, he just left the box and told the cashier he was getting a shopping cart. As I said, this was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY the hell back in the garden center, so it did take him a good minute or so to get back. When I saw he wasn't coming back after a few moments, I moved up. That's when he said something to me that he was there. The GALL of people to be that SELFISH that a BOX holds the spot you had*(PAST TENSE)*, the box you don't even own yet(not that it matters, but it makes it even more stupid to act like something you don't own holds a spot in line), then leaves a line for a good minute to a minute and a half as if no one else can come in the line during that time which is crazy, then only cares about his time as if he is the only person on this earth. I don't understand this selfish world we live in? WHY don't people have MORALS? I grew up with morals. As I said, if I were the man doing that same thing, I would have first off gotten my basket BEFORE I got in line instead of doing that crap, but if I would have not gotten the basket before I got in line, I would have not thought I could just reclaim the spot I had. NEVER in my WILDEST DREAMS would have I thought that, especially how LONG he left, that was even longer than the lady at Target. The thing is, leaving a line for ANY REASON is unacceptable except for something like if your child is walking away, I will accept something reasonable like that and you come back within 3 seconds and that is only because that's children, but even so, I still feel the parent should have their kid under control possibly in the basket with the seat strap or something. In my eyes, that's the only reason you should even think of leaving a line. If you forget bread or milk or want a coke from the aisle further away, if you have to leave the line to get it, then you shouldn't get the spot you had back since you decided to either not get what you needed before or not do what I do which is as I said check out what I do have and then go into another line to check out that one item. I NEVER alter someone else's time for my own time. I am not selfish like that. I am VERY CONSIDERATE and think of other people that think of MY FEELINGS and MY TIME by NOT doing these things. They are only caring about themselves, so why can't I do the same?

5 people in all the over 14 years I have been married have and gone to stores, have asked to cut. All 5 of them were turned down. Get this, one lady asked to cut to buy cigarettes when I have **** to do at home and she wants her cancer sticks. Seriously. If you are in a hurry go to a GAS STATION to get cigarettes not WALMART, because Walmart you WILL PAY WITH YOUR TIME ALWAYS! Getting the best deal will not get you the best time frame. Even at Walgreens will give you a better time frame than Walmart. This lady was mean because I turned her down. It's like if I could do this I would. Then, NO ONE would have to wait their turn in line. HOW is that morally right or fair? This lady was SOOOOO SELFISH, just like the other people I have mentioned.

WHY are people so SELFISH in this world? People are SOOOOO FREAKIN MEAN. They block you to get a parking space to you have to wait, they block you in traffic so you can't go, etc. People are SOOOO MEAN and HATEFUL in this world. They are FREAKIN SELFISH *********S!

As I said before, if these people were right, then WHY do people camp out on Black Friday rather than leaving a physical object to hold their spot, huh? Obviously, I am 100% correct on this and they aren't since that simply proves it.

So basically, what is the public's opinion and why do you people leave the line, then expect to get the spot back you *HAD*? I don't understand?

What would you think if you were in any of these situations? Like the situation with the cashier letting the lady cut, would you have been OK with that after waiting 15-20 minutes already? Would you like for someone to ask to cut and think you can't do it too, wouldn't it be nice? It would be nice if we could all be first, and never wait, wouldn't it? There have been times during the years where I VOLUNTARILY invited he person that had one item that they could get in front of me, but I don't do it anymore since now-a-days I see how people have been so SELFISH to me personally It's one thing when you invite the person, it's quite another when they are asking to cut. Those people had some nerve and gall as if they are ABOVE others in the universe as if their **** don't stink or something. I don't get it?

Why is the world so SELFISH and does ANYONE see my point of view as to that these things are SOOO IMMORAL of what these people have done to me? It's SOOO MEAN AND SELFISH, it's UNREAL! HOW more selfish can you get out of these people? Especially the 5 people that asked to cut it's like HUH? I don't get it? WE ALL HAVE **** TO DO! My time is important on this earth every second and yours is too, but if you decide to go to a busy store like Walmart, you will pay with your time. If you don't like waiting that much, don't go to these places. No one makes people go to these places. The cigarette lady was really ridiculous. I mean so cancer sticks are more important than my purchases? I have a life too and I was hungry to fix dinner, go shower, etc. for my work day the next day. Cigarettes aren't a necessity in life. If she would have been first, then it would have been fair for her to go first, but she wasn't, I made it to the line first. I just can't believe someone has the GALL to think their seconds of time are MORE IMPORTANT than OTHER PEOPLE'S IN THE WORLD to ask to cut. I don't ask to cut, NEVER, EVER*****************EVER****************** have done this. That's just RUDE, RUDE, RUDE as all hell. I can't imagine doing this to another human being, I really can't. I have things to do too. Even if I am not busy, if I invite the person that's one thing, but it's quite another if you ask me. If you ask, you are going to get denied. For all I know, your purchase had a pricing error or credit card issue or check issue or WIC issue, now I am standing for another 5-10 minutes waiting for a CSM to come to fix the issue or a person that writes a check or a person that waits to get every penny out of their purse for change. Even if it's a 40 second- a minute transaction, that was ********MY MINUTE OF MY LIFE and SHE ISN'T A QUEEN TO GET TO BYPASS THE LINE JUST AS I NEVER DO********. I don't bypass the line, I don't expect anyone else to be able to do so either. It's a 2-way street. I wait my turn as that's how morally it's supposed to go. The only time I haven't is back when I said I used to invite people in front of me and sometimes people would do the same for me if I had one item. Now I just simply decline the offer if people offer for me to get in front of them since I don't do that anymore. I just wait my turn. I am just so SICK of the SELFISH people of the world. WHY if you are people that do this crap, WHY do you do it? WHY do you think you are a queen or king above everyone else that you don't have to wait, but we do? Also, my first story, why would this lady think her 5 seconds that she wanted to save it SOOOOO MUCH to put something she didn't even have to do and not just do it after she finished? I don't quite understand that lady? I mean what was the big deal if she had waited until after she finished her return to put her recycling stuff in the bin? WOW HOW HORRIBLE she had to take 5 more seconds of her life so she wouldn't leave the line. Maybe, just maybe, she learned from it not to do that so she wouldn't have to get mad. I would do it again in a HEARTBEAT, because if I would have something to do like that I would have either done it before or after the line, NOT while in line leave the line. That just doesn't make ANY SENSE. I don't understand if people don't have time to do the recycling to take 5 extra seconds, WHY DO IT THEN? I mean I don't get it? WHY do people think they can get out of the line(as I said, that elastic line barrier is there for a REAL REASON) and then expect go come back in the same spot in line when they left. Of course after she did it the 2nd time, she of course reclaimed the spot by cutting(as I said she tried to cut once, but didn't succeed with me). She acted like I was cutting. She was cutting. She left the line. NO spot is there for that person once they leave the line and the cart is the cart of the store ownership. Even if let's say she would have been stupid to leave something she owned like her purse there, that still doesn't keep the spot for you, you have to be ********PHYSICALLY THERE OR SOMEONE HOLDS THE SPOT FOR YOU**********. I care about my time and I have **** to do too, so I was NOT going to wait longer if I didn't have to just as she wanted to save her precious 5 seconds, so did I. I have EVERY RIGHT to my extra seconds or minutes as she does. EVERYONE ARE ***EQUALS*** in this world when it comes to time.

WHY people are so mean and selfish in the world like this that they think we have to bow down to them when they leave the line or don't get there first? As if they are more important? NO, they aren't. Everyone has things to do and it's rude to ask to cut, it's rude to be the cashier that let a lady cut, it's rude to cut like the customer that came back over 20 minutes later to claim her item, it was rude to try to get back in line after leaving, especially over a minute worth or even when there is a elastic barrier showing you that the line is there and nowhere else. I really don't get her reaction at the end because we both got our turn at the same time with 2 different return's cashiers? I didn't call her anything, because I am not going to get thrown out for her temper tantrum. She was acting like a spoiled brat that didn't get her way. She shouldn't have told me one thing. She should have known that she left the line and deserved to now be in the back of me. That's how it's supposed to work. I never tried to save my 5 seconds as I said to do ANYTHING. When I have, I don't expect the spot I had back and NEVER WOULD FATHOM such a ********RIDICULOUS********* thing.

So public, what is your opinion? WHY would you disagree with me when they are the ones being selfish? Also, is this YOU?? Do you expect the world to wait for you?

Holy cripes guys, just do a google search on "Springs1".

She's an internet legend! WAY past trolling, she is the Lord of an entire Plane of Existence on the Web, that Plane being "Crappy servers at cheap restaurants!"


Once she had a wall of text diatribe that she had BUILT and KEPT (which meant it was perfect in her mind) which she could pull out at a moments notice, that's when I know we had someone...special...in our midst...

Paz is right. She has quite the internet trail. Every sort of website with a chat room you can imagine. Been at it a long while too.

Amazing.

Do a search...
