A LIGHT-FILLED, AIRY OASIS FILLED WITH WARMTH AND CHARM: Remember that boss's list of 100 things restaurant staffers should never do? Via Gawker, there's a 101st, and this is the only non-obscene passage of restaurateur Vadim Ponorovsky's email to his staff which calls his employees every word in the book except for 'cocksucker': "Effective immediately, any server or host who fails to collect at least 20 emails per week, will be fined $100. Anyone failing to collect at least 20 emails for two weeks in a month will be fired immediately. No matter what. No matter who you are."

Now maybe it's just me, but I can't remember ever filling out a "please add us to our email list" card when presented with the bill; it's just more spam in which I have no interest. So we've got three issues here: (1) how much of an asshole is Ponorovsky, based on this email? (2) under what circumstances do you give a restaurant your email address? and (3) aren't servers just going to make up email addresses to comply with this diktat?
