Pets In Grocery Stores Or Restaurants?

The Gull is back to discuss irritable topics among other things. I have many people upset in my time with my opinions and frankly I really don't give a damn. Don't attempt to sensor me and tell me what I can and cannot say, and to whom I can say it to. I will continue to speak my mind how and when I want to whether people like it or not. With that out of the way here we go.

As you might know the sign to your left if pretty self explanatory to even the most intelligence challenged of individuals. Even if you can't read you can still see the photo.

NO PETS ALLOWED. This is what is says. We are talking an actual service animal that is a always a dog, not a pig, rabbit, snake or lizard, that is individually trained to aid and assist physically, mentally, or sensory disabled people. This is different from a "therapy dog" that is not honored by the statement on the sign.

So why are people just bringing their pets into food establishments that are not valid service animals at all? "He's my life companion." I heard a person say to defend bringing invalid animals into the store. "I'm depressed." Another said in defense as to why they are bringing an invalid non-service dog into food establishments.

You mean to tell me that you are so depressed you cannot afford to go to a store without your pet for just 30 minutes out of your day? Why don't we just convert our grocery stores to third world food markets where they have live goats, pigs, sheep, and other animals parading around the aisle while people shop?

Here is a message to all of you who bring your invalid pets into food establishments. LEAVE YOUR FREAKIN PETS AT HOME. Ahh...I feel a little bit better. To you idiotic store managers at these establishments who claim you cannot ask why your customers are bringing Chihuahuas in their grocery carts. Obviously if a customer is bringing a dog inside and placing it inside of a cart, this is not a service dog. It is providing no service to its owner or anyone else at this point. You have the right to enforce your "No Pet Policy."

So people, have some decency and stop bringing your lizards, snakes, pigs, birds or whatever into stores other than pet stores. If you would like to respond to anything that I have stated above in this blog please leave a comment below. If you are a food worker who feels the same as I do about this subject please voice your own opinion below. THE GULL HAS SPOKEN.

How To Cope With Stress!

Okay, this is The Gull. I am a feisty seagull who happens to feel really stressed lately in the office because of my pushy, demanding, condescending boss who I would like frankly to see him die. I know that sounds mean but you don't know him. He really sucks and I don't really know if he is human.

Like I said, there are horrible bosses out there that don't deserve an ounce of respect and you shouldn't give in to them at all.

Okay we understand your frustration but there are at least 3 things You're not telling your boss but should.

 She can finish up for your here. Tipsy Writer  She will tell you 3 things you need to tell you boss.

Proper Grocery Store Etiquette-2

Okay everybody here it goes. The Gull is Back again to discuss proper grocery store etiquette. Because of the horrible and nonsensical stuff I have seen while in a grocery store things have really ruffled my feathers. I will be discussing a few points of interests that really grind my gears.  If you are a delicate, sheltered, sensitive, easily offended individual than I suggest you get your sorry little prissy self important pansy ass out now! Oh wait, it's too late. You have already been offended if the above pertains to you. I make no apologies because I am the notorious Gull!

Okay, if you walk up to a deli or service counter of any kind do yourself and others a favor. When it is your turn to order get the hell off of your freakin cell phone you self important ridiculous moron!

Somebody is trying to serve you, yet you are acting like they are interrupting your freakin phone call. If you are ready to order get the hell off you phone and quit being a self important douch bag. Don't you dare try to stand there and shoosh the person who is trying to serve you because you cannot seem to take a few minutes away from your precious conversation.

Finally be patient. Sometimes custom service can take a while. If you don't have the patience to wait go and buy pre packaged items that you don't have to wait for.

Final words. Basically just try to use your brain and a little respect and common decency while shopping. It will make easier on both you the consumer and the hard workers that are trying their best to provide you with quality service. Hopefully I haven't offended 79.9 percent of you with this blog, if so that is just too bad. Haha, the Gull strikes again!

Proper Grocery Store Etiquette

I am not going to put a picture in this post because I don't feel it requires one. Today I would like to discuss a few things, one being stupid people.

People when you go out in public, try to conduct yourself properly. Don't be rude and don't try to screw people over with scams and other dishonest behavior. Do not steal from stores! Pay for your freakin merchandise or food. We don't need more parasites in our society.

Try to have a little common courtesy and decency. Treat workers with some respect. Don't try to use that "Customer's always right" NONSENSE. Because guess what? THE CUSTOMER IS ACTUALLY RARELY RIGHT. That's right. Most customers have no idea how things actually work, so they make all kinds of unreasonable and unattainable request because they are very ignorant about what ever particular industry.

The Gull does not go into a place such as deli and ask that brand new packages be opened for every deli meat that I choose. That's stupid and wasteful. If every customer was to partake in this activity tons of perfectly fine deli meat would be thrown away! With this mentality they have the nerve to criticize grocery stores of being wasteful.

Another thing, don't shop if you are in a hurry. It's all about proper planning. You don't want to wait in line? Too freakin bad! Poor planning on your behalf does not constitute an emergency on the employees' behalf. Wait your freakin turn patiently or get the heck out of the store.

Don't try to cut in line at the deli department, wait your turn and respect others. Don't demand custom made sandwiches when you walk up to a deli. They usually require 24 hours notice for such a thing. They are not equipped throughout the day for making sandwiches efficiently. You want a custom sandwich fast, go to Subway or Blimpie, there is usually one in every grocery store shopping center! Deli departments slice meat for you so you can go home and make your own sandwiches!

No it is not fresher, better or cheaper to get custom sandwiches from grocery store delis. Definitely not faster! Subway has fresh baked bread throughout the day, and the choice of numerous toppings usually for no extra charge. Except for extra cheese, meat, or avocado. Subway also specializes in subs so they are usually very fast at getting you what you need.

Bottom line people, don't be dumb. Try to think before you act, it could save you and others a lot of headaches. The Gull is signing out for now.

SnapChick Bikini 2013

The Gull here people. On this post I will be talking about photography concerning a girl called "SnapChick." She is very prevalent on YouTube with many informative videos. Okay I don't have a photo of SnapChick to share with you. Well I do but she will probably sue the pants off of me for copyright infringement! She has to find yet another way to keep her pockets full after all. Speaking of which you can buy her new ebook here! Buy Here Now

Let's cut to the chase. Let me ask you all a question. Does tequila and a bikini shoot go together? Do gulls have feathers? Heck yes they do! SnapChick made a video three years ago to celebrate her 50th youtube video. I love white girls who drink tequila by the way. Very sexy. She decided to shoot a video similar three years later with a twist.

She says a lot can happen in three years and bodies change. She grew her hair out quite a bit, but seemed to prefer her old short hair look. I have to say usually being a fan of long hair, the short hair did seem to look better on her. She clarifies she is not a "spring chicken" but not an "old lady" either.

Bottom line is that she was pleased with her second shoot of this type.

If you like photography tutorials you might want to check out my photography for beginners blog at www.martinmavenphotography.blogspot.com the site teaches various aspects of photography such as basic camera functions and settings. Lighting techniques and more are covered as well. I have featured some of my favorite professional photography tutors who all have different areas of knowledge in photography. One of them is bound to fit the type of photography you want to learn.

That Nikon Guy

That Nikon Guy also known as Matt Granger. His beautiful wife Tina and he are a great combination for useful photography tutorials on youtube.

I highly recommend watching his videos to learn a variety of photography techniques.

In this post I would like to talk about his single light portrait and how the direction of the light affects the outcome of the photo.

Tina's goth tinker bell outfit looked excellent by the way! Matt didn't get the outfit but the Gull understood just fine!

 Matt this will be short and painless as possible. He uses pocket wizards to trigger a yongnuo yn-560 with a shoot-through umbrella. People often send feedback and comment that his photos are too dark, but Matt prefers his photos moody and a little underexposed.

So next he decides to try some Rembrandt lighting. Light slightly off to one side. With Rembrandt lighting you get the little triangle light on the facing cheek and the shadow on the opposite cheek.

Shooting straight on her face creates what he calls a very flat image and no light sculpting. Next he uses the "Halloween" light which sits in front and just below Tina's waist level. A good position for the Gull, but not for lighting to be.

Next he decides to remove the shoot-through umbrella and use the bare flash. "You're going to blind me?" Tina says. Matt say yes he is going to do just that. Well at least he is honest.

Lol, he actually calls beautiful Tina model a Tranny, with man hands! Ah this guy has my rolling with laughter! The bad part is I can kind of see that in that particular photo! You look like a man from Thailand Tina! Not really, just kidding.

Anyway Matt Granger, this is what I thought of your single light portrait video. I told you this would be short and painless. Hello Tina, the Gull is a big fan of yours. More reviews to come!

The Gull Speaks

Hello people, I am the all-knowing Gull. You may not speak to me directly as some of you already know. However currently you may blog to me. I speak mainly of the nonsense in today's world and my lack of tolerance. I find a lot of things in this world just plain annoying!

Well anyway I will give my opinion on a variety of topics. Politics, sports, current events, money matters, food, women, dating, women's fashion, and much more.

What's on my mind right this second? Food and liquor, life's basic necessities. Get back to me with your questions, concerns or debates. I will also be doing restaurant reviews and reviews of all sorts.
