Ever bought a hot dog for $30?

Achmed Mohammed (if that's his real name) has no shame.  Charging tourists that much for a hot dog on a location where the Twin Towers once stood.


And he has such a friendly smile while he rips you off and he lies that he doesn't speak English.   Really?
Now that his deceitfulness has gone viral, all sorts of media types have camped out around his hot dog stand.  I don't think they're buying his hot dogs either.

The Famous Starbucks Faux Manager Rant in Queens

This video is all over the internet.


I know this Starbucks location!  I've been in it several times.  I've never met this Melissa behind the counter though.  She said that she was the manager and I kind of don't believe her.  I just don't think she's Starbucks manager material.  What do you think?  Clearly Melissa was having a bad day but come on now, Melissa was out of control.  So out of control that other customers started to gang up on her.  Then Melissa went off on the customers.  Bad move Melissa!  She ended up being fired by Starbucks.

I was able to find a video of Melissa's side of the story.


Of couse, she is wearing dark glasses so that we can't identify her.  Melissa says that she wasn't fired, she quit.  Yeah, I don't believe that either.  So now she's looking for another job.  With this video out, I'm wondering who's going to hire her.  I would suggest that she take a non-customer service job.

Now this Starbucks is usually busy, like all Starbucks stores.  However, if you know that the job is getting to you, you have to plan some sort of exit, or you're going to end up having a Youtube moment like Melissa.
