   There is dumb, and then there is offensive.  And then there is guys 
starting to put your name in, saying "dumb ****s like Peach here".  And 
then there is "Peach and two other ****s walk into a bar".

   And it's all just a joke ha-ha, and "if you are offended then maybe 
you aren't tough enough to work here".  Never mind if you are able to do 
the job perfectly well, and Odin forbid you do the job better than they
do.

    Sometimes she could.  Sometimes there is only one job around that 
pays a living wage.


   The question is, should anyone ever have to put up with a horrific 
situation at their place of employment?
