Working Stiffs: Blue-Collar Pop And The Top 40 Work Ethic

Lately, some of pop’s biggest stars have returned to an old theme: work. Even before Rihanna’s latest chart-topping hit, the idea of paid labor ran through songs by Beyoncé (“Working 9-to-5 / Just to stay alive,” she sings on “Haunted”), Drake (“Young, but I’m making millions to work the night shift,” he brags on “6… Read more »

Fat Girls Receipt Insults Chilly D’s Restaurant Patrons

The bill given to three friends at Chilly D’s Restaurant really stung, but not because of the price, which is actually pretty affordable for dinner for three in this era. It was the description of their table at the top. “I got the bill, I looked [and] I was like, ‘Why does this receipt say ‘fat girls?'” customer Christine Duran said, recalling her Stockton, Calif., experience. The friends had dined out at Chilly D’s, part of the Cameo Casino Restaurant, on Thursday. The bill lists charges for three tri-tips with fries and three sodas, for $25.50. A bartender named Jeff had apparently typed in “Fat Girls” to keep track of their bill. When a stunned Duran asked a manager for an explanation of the receipt, he “had like a smirk on his face, like it was funny but trying not to laugh,” she said. The dining experience went from bad to worse when the restaurant demanded they still pay the bill, offering them a 25 percent discount and then a 50 percent discount. They declined both offers. In a Facebook message, Maggie Lewis, the Cameo Club Casino owner, apologized and said the treatment Duran had received is “intolerable in our establishment.” Jimmy Siemers, co-owner of Chilly D’s, didn’t work the night Duran and her friends received the offensive receipt, but has said that he is trying to clean up the mess. “I just want to tell them we’re sincerely sorry and we’ll do everything in our power to make sure this never happens to anyone again,” he said in a statement.
