Any relation to the ‘reverend’, Jesse Jackson?

“[Spitting into the food of white customers at a hotel in Greenville, South Carolina] gave me a psychological gratification.”

I used to work at a large Summer retreat. The food was great but every Summer there would be at least one case of just about everyone coming down with food poisoning.

All the cooks were Black tho I actually don’t think they were sabotaging the food. For one thing we always had a real good relationship with all the kitchen crew. Still when I returned around 40 years later, the cooks were all White and we never had another case of food poisoning.

The food wasn’t as good but it might have more to do with the food budget than preparation. I will say the food service supervisor was really strict on cleanliness.

Not too long ago in a nearby city, I overhead a guy chew out a fast food worker for getting his order wrong. They immediately offered to replace the food, but the person with the tantrum was beside himself with anger. When he went back to his seat, the guy at the counter smiled and went about his work. The people making the food overheard it all - I wondered if they were as "understanding."

There's no reason on earth why some people go so easily into rages. I figure they must be democrats - unhappy with everything and everyone (always affixing blame) and demanding perfection in an imperfect world (no tolerance for any view except their own).
