Oooh, the company put on a huuuge party at Easter to celebrate its 200th birthday, which was pretty sweet, but security is pretty tight in the store so it is pretty hard to just walk away with stuff.

#206563Post 40 of 61

Well....I get headaches for free every day that I work :) I work at Chili's Bar and Grill and the one thing that I get the most is is half off discounts for me and up to 4 guests. Considering that I've worked there for 4 years...I've gotten a lot of food for cheap!! I also work in a job where if I get off early, I can sit down and have a drink. We also get hooked up from the bar if we come in...so I can't complain about that! :mrgreen:
