Yup, you had me until I looked at the URL. No one does it better than the Onion. Outside of old Simpsons episodes, anyway.
used to valet for a hotel here at the plaza in KC; guy hands me and several other guys some bills, thank him, obv not going to count the cash in front of him, walk back into the coat room and it’s like a $1 million dollar bill with Jesus in the portrait 😐
I had friends in high school in the '80s who bagged groceries at the commissary, and they'd always have stories about the one or two older women who'd come through, drop $400 on groceries for the month, have them all bagged and taken to the car, and then would hand them a Bible pamphlet as tip...this is so spot on.
I'd encourage you to think twice about posting parody stories to your RSS feed without marking. This post in Feedly has absolutely no indication it's not a real story. https://imgur.com/a/T7vfQBK
FWIW, I kind of like the "is it real or is it the Onion" game. :) I usually get it right, but this one almost threw me.
The best way to read kottke.org is by going to the website. 🤷♂️

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
