    Today's permie whinge

    Permies have just been informed that their entry cards will gain them a 10% discount in the restaurant above Amsterdam central library. Now they’re all having a mass whinge because they prefer the pizza place on the first floor. Somebody’s obviously put some work into getting them a discount, now they’re complaining it’s the wrong one. Really, permies. It’s enough to make you say hmph!
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

    Are you going to increase your rate by 10% to make up for the discount you are not getting?

      Oh, I’m allowed the discount too, but I have learnt the hard way not to eat in cheapo permie places.

          Is this restaurant posh compared to the pizza place? Maybe it's a kind of "let them eat cake" thing. If you give a peasant a 10% discount at Harrods they still can't afford anything, it's more like a kick in the teeth.

              I'd rather get 10% discount to Harrods where I can't afford to buy anything than get kick in the teeth...

                you've been then?

                To be fair, by the time I used to get there, my body was well protected by the power of beer...
