I've seen Wendys and McDonalds with starting wages at $15/hr, so Sonic can't be that different.

Don't give me this crap that a starting wage that high is tantamount to slave labor like so many people online like to pretend it is. You are making up this theory in your head that the owner is one of those "nobody wants to work" types and then acting like $15/hr is anything but a damn decent wage for the skill of the workers needed.

Everyone at D'Andrea and Pantera in Hamden is fantastic. I went to the dentist after about 5 years because I was traumatized by past experiences. I had 9 cavities, one that possibly needed a root canal, but they were able to avoid that.

Obviously going to the dentist 4 times in a month to have so many cavities filled isn't FUN, but they made it bearable and never made me feel bad for my situation or for my anxiety. They were very patient, understanding, and professional. By my last appointment I didn't even cry!

If you don't have the app, I highly recommend it. But even without the app, you can pick a post in NW CT, and set parameters of distance, difficulty, dog friendliness, out & back/loop vs point to point, and it'll give you maps of all the trails that fit your preference

I'm sorry man I'm trying not to say this, but I'm really doubting that "I'm a criminal attorney" statement you made there, but again, I have no idea who you are so what do I know. Look I've given you the right answer, I've even tried to explain to you what your obligation is to your own clients. Do it that information what you will - but at this point we now really are simply wasting each other's time. Have a great

I'm explaining to you the real obstacles that my clients face. They are indigent, they are trying, and they get nowhere. For you to come in and just say "nah this doesn't happen and if it does just hire an employment lawyer" is like, peak privilege.

When they first came here, they were great and the hype around them was huge. But I have seen a similar deal at other Sonics around the state in recent years. Their food is just not that good to warrant the terrible customer service. They keep the place kind of grubby, and if you go the drive thru, the wait times are way too long for what should be "fast"food.

I don't know what else to say to you at this point other than to say that as an attorney, your answer should not be it happens and there's nothing nobody can do about it. That's not a particularly good attitude to have, and it also isn't true. And so I'm going to State it one more time, and then I'm going to drop out because now this conversation really is spinning its meals. Nothing is easy to prove, especially claims of discrimination. But if you go to the right attorney, tell them your case, and there's something there to be found Dash that attorney will find it and will run with it. Again, if you actually are a criminal defense attorney, you may be the best one in the state - but that's not what your clients need for this particular issue. Help them with whatever arrest issues they have, but for this issue they don't need a criminal defense attorney, they need an employment attorney. Don't make the decision for somebody else as to whether or not the case can or can't be proven. Either take it on yourself and do the investigating to find out, or give it to somebody who specializes in this particular branch of the law and let them make the decision. You owe it to whatever clients you have to give them the best legal advice. I'm not a practicing attorney, but I am legally trained on this matter and I'm giving you what is at least at the core of what is the best legal advice.

Again, if you really are a lawyer, then you know the fault with that statement that you just made. That is law, and that's how it works. There's nothing I can do to help you, or your clients with that.

I am sure my indigent clients will go running to the nearest employment lawyer in the hopes that they will somehow find a way to prove that they aren't getting calls because employers are inappropriately applying EEOC guidelines that flat out say the conduct at issue can be used as a basis not to hire them.

Having extensive experience with psilocybin and beyond, I reiterate my opinion that we need to stop using "hallucinogen" to refer to psychedelics and entheogens. It is an inadequate incomplete label, poor marketing, and gives ammo to ignoramuses like the politician quoted about.

Also, who's to say those are hallucinations? just because other people can't see them? cymatics, yantras, sacred geometry, fractals, the fibonacci sequence, etc etc etc

So that other subthread went way down a rabbit hole that ultimately LED nowhere. Which brings me back to the original post and the original redditor. I'm going to ask again, were you arrested for something, or were you convicted of something? The answer to that question does play a role and whether or not that criminal record can or can't be considered, as well as if it can be considered how it can be considered. Secondly, for the jobs that you didn't get, do you know it was because you have an arrest record, as in they told you you were disqualified because? Or did you simply not get the job, and you're assuming it's because you have in a rest record? If it's the latter, that doesn't mean you're not right, but that means that you're claims will have to be investigated by an attorney and proven. If you know that's the case, as in they sent you an email, or a letter, or even a phone call in which they literally said we liked you but.. well now you have a slam dunk.
