Sure. I'm only having an appetizer at lunch today. Dinner is going to be insane tonight: I'm going with a 24 oz t-bone (it's 180), a loaded baked potato, pretty much whatever I want.

No it wasn't. It was a pathetic display. He mistakenly thought that I meant the patrons, which is laughably nonsensical since it's a really popular restaurant & destination for business travelers (it's the best steakhouse downtown, by far).
I meant the employees-- I've got many of their cell numbers, hang out with a couple regularly, and have been going there for years. They just put my tab under "[my name]" at this point (it's on the reference line below the total, which I cropped out for privacy).

It was effective. I assume you do cross examination at SOME point? Isn't there a time early on when you have an opportunity to cross examine witnesses, if you want?
As for what you and I did, we clarified that when you said you know "most of the people in there" you didn't really mean "most of the people in there." The whole restaurant, patrons and all, weren't all high fiving you as a big roller and king about town. No whispers of "There goes TSINAH, the Defense King of O" You just meant your friends among the waitstaff.
May I inquire, Did you tip these wait staff, TSINAH?

It was $75 wasn't it TSINAH. That's more than twice a very generous tip, isn't it.
EDIT: thanks for clarification. It was $70, not $75. I apologize for adding in that additional $5. A usual tip would be $30 or so but you tipped $70, which is more than double a very generous 20 percent against the cost of the meal.

So, to recap, you said you know most of the people in the steak restaurant, but then actually, no, you just meant the waitstaff, who you consider friends, and also you chatted up a girl at the bar, so you added her into the count.
We also established that you also tipped these "friends" of yours at the bar (who are also paid to serve you) roughly 50 percent of the cost of the meal.
Are these wait staff always friendly to you, TSINAH? Every time you come in, which I understand, is a lot?

tbf if a buddy told me "i know most of the people in there" in reference to a bar or restaurant, I would immediately assume he was referring to the staff.

It's ridiculous to assume otherwise. Saying you know most of the people in a restaurant implies you've encountered them more than once, and it's implausible for that to apply to anyone other than the staff. But, we're dealing with spaceporn here.

TSINAH, I wasn't really asking you if you have one on the calendar or not. I was asking if you have ever tried one. You said before that you had so i just want to get confirmation ITT. It's yes or no pal.
You even acknowledged that poast by claiming you won't believe a word I say. Why should I even bother further engagement with you on this topic when you, yourself, admitted you won't believe anything I say? I understand that the liberal mindset requires fervid and unwavering adherence to the talking points, but jfc, maybe open your mind to some divergent viewpoints. Life might even improve for you.

Fair enough, in another context. You might think differently if a stranger online presenting himself as a high roller and successful criminal defense atty who made the same representation.
I could mess around w other points, such as his lack of jury trial experience whatsoever, despite his reps to the contrary on here, or what have you, but it's a little harder to do online.

Why don't we stay focused on the conversation we're currently having, tough guy? I know that moving the goalposts is a favored tactic of you and your ilk, but it won't work here.
Date: March 1st, 2022 1:34 PM Author: Ocher bossy wagecucks
Sure! The convo we are currently having (assuming youhavent abandoned it) is whether in your nine years of criminal defense work you ever tried a case to a jury. I can't seem to get an answer out of you.
If you were a big baller in criminal defense you'd be all over that question. Now would be your time to shine.

you have to remember, spaceporn isn't a normal human being with normal interactions. his entire identity is wrapped up in being some sub-rate lawyer. that's why he dives headfirst into cross-examining you over pointless minutiae that normal irl humans (non-npcs) pick up on. he doesn't understand how the world actually works

I get that it's difficult for a middling IQ halfwit to comprehend, but yes. I tip extremely generously. It has led to numerous referrals and is worth it. Taking care of waitstaff is exceptionally important--especially when you dine out a lot, like I do. In fact, I AMOG'd my primary challenger when he tried to embarrass me by taking me there thinking I've never been to a nice place in my life given my financial disclosures. I showed up a little early, checked us in, and chatted with the GM. It was pretty awesome and that guy left pretty pissed off. Of course it didn't mean jack shit in the end, but it's still something we laugh about and is a fond memory. How many of those do you have, champ?
Date: March 1st, 2022 1:26 PM Author: Ocher bossy wagecucks
So, you'd agree w me that you typically tip these "friends" of yours generously when they serve you then.
(You know how i know it's working? You are squirming w that last response of yours. Whether its a big enough fish to go after or not given the limitations of this forum and setting is another question. I think in the context of amusement it probably is.)
Date: March 1st, 2022 1:28 PM Author: Swashbuckling shrine tank
Yes, I will readily admit and agree that I tip my friends generously. Doesn't everyone? What type of scumbag do you have to be to stiff your friends at a restaurant?
You realize that tipping well comes with many intangible benefits, right? Better service, faster service, better drinks, comped food/drinks, etc. I'm heading over to my "satellite office" in a few minutes for a couple beers (I give up beer tomorrow for Lent, btw), but they don't charge me at all. I just tip heavily, usually 100%. It works out extremely well in the end. In fact, to date, I have made more money off of that single restaurant than I have spent there.

Spaceporn had been posting nonstop about tsinah for 5 straight days. It's no wonder he is a FIFTY year old barely successful shitlawyer. He wastes time instead of working hard.

When I used to date around, it was always 180 because knowing most people at a restaurant makes you seem more impressive than you are, which is exactly what's required in the early stages of dating. I actually used to have a couple restaurants that I *never* go to except for dates with ugly people who mislead me with their photos. Or hookups. The point is that I didn't want my friends to see me with them.
I actually told my gf about that and told her that she's one of the few that got to go to restaurants where my friends work. She knows them all now, and we regularly hang out. In fact, I'm really good friends with several of the bartenders at my cigar bar (and so is she). I was just out with one of them on Friday, actually. He's a great guy and I value his friendship.
My wedding will likely be the most fun event ever, because it'll mostly be industry folks (she used to be a bartender before going to pharmacy school). Our friend circle all have jobs at high-end restaurants, dive bars, etc. They're all awesome people and we're going to have a blast.

I assume from this thread I will not get reasonably criticized on my cross examination ability again.
It's autoadmit and there is no judge and a hostile crowd of cons and no oath and no rules of evidence and I've already blown TSINAH up on cross on two points, one small and one VERY BIG.

Who was mad? I just think it's fucking hilarious that an obese, failed shitlawyer who is facing eviction is bragging about eating a 24 ounce steak and wasting $200 on food in one night. The most optimistic possibility is that it's an elaborate flame to troll his haters. But if it's real, it's hard not to feel a certain amount of schadenfreude as this loser who likes to brag to his Internet friends sets his own life on fire.
