The Consumerist (03.09.2010 16:00h): Why Your Cocktail Waitress Hates You
When you're in the business of serving up drinks to packs of cocky water buffalo, you have to put up with some serious bull. One cocktail waitress carried around a pen and paper and wrote down some of the most annoying and degrading things she and her brethren experience in the course of their duties. One of the worst types is "Tricky McPlastic" who says he'll be paying cash, but then after he gets his drink checks his wallet and decides to go with a credit card instead:You may not know this, but I already paid the bar -- in ...

The Consumerist (03.09.2010 15:45h): Would You Buy Used Ikea Furniture From Ikea?
From certified pre-owned cars to refurbished electronics to sporting tickets, there has been a growing trend of businesses trying to cash in on secondary markets for their products. The latest example is Ikea, which recently got into the business of selling its own used furniture online in its homeland of Sweden. Ikea's latest venture just kicked off earlier this week, so it's too early to see if the plywood-happy retailer would bring this model to our shores. "Time will tell," said the CEO of IKEA Sweden. "We have to start somewhere. We in Sweden are first and it is unbelievably ... [Link] [Cache]
The Consumerist (03.09.2010 15:30h): Unexpected Work Transfer And An Upside-Down Mortgage Create Sticky Financial Situation
In a secure profession that very rarely requires people to relocate, John made what seemed like a pretty solid financial decision. He and his wife bought a house. He tells Consumerist that this seemed like a great idea until his employer transferred him involuntarily across the country. He left behind his wife, who works in the same field but was not transferred, and the house, on which he is upside down. This has left the couple in a nasty financial situation they never anticipated. He wonders: can the Consumerist hive mind offer him any wisdom? I work for the Federal ... [Link] [Cache]

The Consumerist (03.09.2010 14:45h): Has Your Subway Been Tessellating Your Cheese?
Earlier this summer, Subway made headlines when it confirmed to Consumerist that it would begin tessellating the cheese in its sandwiches as of July 1. But, say some readers, the sandwich artists at their local Subways have yet to start arranging the triangular cheese slices accordingly. For instance, we have Michael from New York City: Subway was supposed to begin tessellating their cheese starting July 1st. I go to many different New York City Subway restaurants and none of them are doing this? Was the post a joke? While everyone laughs, I think tessellating the cheese is important. If you ...

The White Castle on Bechtle Ave. in Springfield, OH, is the first place to test out the burger chain's new Laughing Noodle concept.

The Consumerist (03.09.2010 14:00h): Business Credit Cards Not Protected By CARD Act
Sorry, small businesses, the much ballyhooed protections of the CARD Act do not cover your credit cards. Only consumer credit cards get safeguarded against the most punitive of the old interest rate and fee policies. No wonder credit card solicitations to small business owners have increased 256%, vs 29% for consumer credit cards - they're more profitable now. Small businesses owners might think about using their consumer credit cards instead, however, that would mean they wouldn't be able to write off interest payments as a business expense on their taxes.
