Heads of HR told us we should be grateful for them because they were free and because they were healthy. What a lie.
America is already great, sure, but I must admit it was a little bit better in the pre-chicken caesar salad wrap era, when hearty hero sandwiches were king. Read more…

Go after people’s sandwiches and you’d better prepare for war.
