Good Morning Everybody! It’s Friday!!!! Cannot wait to see the new episode tonight! Thank you very much to those who have already signed this petition. Let’s keep it coming! :D If you haven’t already signed it please check it out and join the fight in getting this amazing show a second season.
A big big thank you to @fairytalesandtimetravel for their help in getting this petition set up! Couldn’t have done it without you!
A man stopped by the Applebees that fired that waitress for posting the receipt from a pastor who didn’t want to give her a tip. This was the letter he left. It reads:
Dear Applebee’s:
Let me cut to the chase: I find your termination of Ms. Chelsea Welch (an otherwise excellent and hard working employee) downright deplorable and appalling. As far as I’m concerned, she did absolutely NOTHING “wrong” when posting the image of that receipt with that insulting comment made by the customer Pastor Alois Bell.
First off, there was absolutely nothing mentioned in the employee handbook admonishing this kind of behavior, but more importantly (if you wish to argue otherwise) just how much “personal information” could have possibly been divulged to the public just by the customer’s signature? NOWHERE was the customer’s full name, credit card information, address or even YOUR restaurant’s name indicated on the photograph of that receipt which is far more incriminating and potentially damaging information than just a signature alone.
How is a mere signature going to help a criminal commit an act of identity theft? Local health inspectors and fire/safety inspectors have their signatures prominently displayed on certificates posted publicly by restaurants like yours… can THEY complain that you publicly displayed their “private information”?
As far as I’m concerned the only “damage” done was to the pastor’s shallow and “precious” ego. Nothing more, nothing less. She could’ve have simply ignored the post, not said anything and just went on with her cheap and inconsiderate, stingy ways. No one would’ve been the wiser. But no. She HAD to complain to the manager and have an otherwise fantastic employee fired simply because she was embarrassed.
Ms. Welch did absolutely NOTHING to publicly embarrass/humiliate her…. MS. BELL DID. And cared more about her ego than actually righting a wrong and offering to not only fairly tip what was rightfully due to Ms. Welch, but fight to get her re-hired. Ms. Alois Bell, the pathetic excuse of a human being she is, did absolutely NONE of that… and YOUR company has the NERVE to stand by her side???
As a part time pizza delivery driver myself, I KNOW first hand what its like to work for a less than minimum wage depending almost entirely on tips just to pay basic necessities such as food and rent. Yeah, I get the “average” principle and try not to take the occasional stuff so seriously, however, on some really bad days when I have runs that I have to drive far, using MY personal vehicle and MY personal gas, and get nothing, its not only very frustrating but completely unfair that I get taxed at federal minimum wage rate when [I’m] actually making LESS in that hour delivering to these inconsiderate customers who have no clue as to what SERVICE is all about. Essentially getting taxed on money that I’m NOT making. And THIS is what your company CONDONES and is PROUD OF?!?!?!
Long story short: I have come to your Easy Brunswick/Milltown restaurant NOT to order anything…but to simply use the restroom, get my complimentary water with lemon and just LEAVE but not without generously tipping your server for doing nothing more than bringing me menus and water.
Furthermore I promised the server that should this letter appear online and go viral, that I’ll be returning to the store and DOUBLING his/her tip. And since he/she has my full permission and consent to post this letter online with MY NAME and signature fully visible, there isn’t ANYTHING that you can do about it.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully,
A now FORMER customer of yours,
Michael T. Zybura (attached $10)

Me too! It will be interesting to see how it does on Fridays! It will definitely be weird watching TV on Sunday nights now though! LOL
I just saw someone on facebook post HAPPY ONCE DAY, and I got so confused… I mean it’s not Sunday, and then I remembered that OUAT is now on Friday!
Who will be watching? I will!!
You know why, Bob? It was far too boring!
Okey dokey! Hopefully you get a bit of free time from work and before you leave for your trip to post a new chapter. Love the sneak peaks! Love this story in general. Can't wait for new chapter! I hope u enjoy your trip!!!!
“Does she know?” Mike asked urgently. “Hey! Does Sasha know that Olivia has Joe Carroll?” he repeated, and Montero shook his head as he let out a sob. Mike turned to Ryan, his heart thudding in his chest in sheer panic as his eyes went wide. “What do we do?” he asked. Ryan looked around wearily, a…
I totally agree! :D
Reblog if you agree.
Update
Here is an emergency contact number: 0161 856 9400 If you are worried someone you know or family members were present at the arena.
Sadly the count for injured individuals has risen to 100 or more. With 12 confirmed deaths being that of children. Three victims have been indentified.
A second indivdual has been aprehended by police and taken into custody.
———-
As more information floods in about what took place at the Manchester Arena, the death toll is now at 22 dead with 59 injured. ISIS has claimed this as part of their attack, where now a 23-year-old individual is currently in police custody. The attack went off at an entrance just as Ariana Grande’s concert was coming to an end.
There are many children and teenagers still unaccounted for and as of now, pictures are circulating on social media websites to try and help locate them. To do your part repost, retweet, or reblog the photographs of these young individuals so that their families can eventually find and contact them.
Alright guys, things are not looking great for Emerald City’s renewal. And before I knew that they would likely be setting up a cliffhanger ending, I wouldn’t have minded just one season of this wonderfulness, I’ll take anything I can get! But, if there is more to tell in this amazingly beautiful world then I think it’s worth a shot to try to save this show! Who’s with me?! my god, I am terrible with these sorts of things, forgive me
No, things aren’t looking great. TV Grimm Reaper expects it to be canceled:
Emerald City is likely to be canceled. Its ratings weren’t terrible for a Friday premiere, but they haven’t stopped declining. Last week’s 0.6 puts it into the likely canceled range, even for a Friday show. As you read the nonsense from the #PRJedi in the TV media about Emerald City being an “event series” remember what that means: If it had good ratings, it would be renewed. Since the ratings are bad, one season was always the plan! (x) (Can that mean that there isn’t actually a cliffhanger? lol)
But! Tv By the Numbers says it’s still a toss up (same goes for Timeless, guys check that shit out too, it’s so awesome!).
(If anyone has anything else to add, please add! I am not the best with ratings info lol)
Watch it live! (WHY CAN’T I HAVE A NIESLEN BOX, WHY? I WATCH GOOD SHOWS, DAMN IT) If you can’t watch live, watch it legally through streaming sites like Hulu or nbc.com if you can. (I understand if you are outside the US it doesn’t count (WHY))
Record it and watch it with commercials! I know commercials suck, but to count in the +3 ratings, watch it with commercials. Put it on as background noise or something :)
Tweet!! LIVE TWEET! During the show and before and after it airs (I think it’s 20 minutes before and after that it counts, I think?)! Use #EmeraldCity as a priority tag and then, hey, maybe we can get that and/or #SaveEmeraldCity to trend! And fans outside the US, this is where you can really help! It airs twice, once at 9 PM EST and 9 PM PST on Fridays (use google to find out what time that is for you and Tweet away! :D)
Follow Emerald City on all social media platforms and engage! Even if it’s a like! Sharing is great and promotes it.
Spread the word! Maybe you can get some other people into it too! (Especially if they have a Nielsen box… bribe them them….)
Sign the petition! Here shout out to @piratesbooty63fan for putting it together) and Here
Leave feedback at NBC giving praise to it! You can do that here!
Fingers crossed!!!
OMG Please tell me this chapter will be posted soon! This sneak peak is gonna drive me crazy and make my mind race with worry until I read the new chapter. AHHH Love this story so much!!!!
