Moxie's Grill - Broadway & Burrard
Found parking across street from Future Shop, paid $2 for 60 minutes of parking (other options were 10c for 3 min. or 25c for 7.5 min). Bought nothing at FS, lots time left on the meter. Since I parked in front of Moxie's, decided to try it out.
It's a huge space with outdoor sidewalk patio, staffed by lots of nice waitresses. Since I'm on a beef dip ($8.99) kick, that's what I ordered but I wasn't thinking and said yes to basil dip (which cost an extra 50 cents). Big Life amber $5.49. Decent beef dip, better than Malone's.

When you remarked that Moxie’s is staffed with lots of nice waitresses, I assume that not only did they have pleasing personalities, but they also are good to look at. I’ve never been to Moxie’s, so I’m not able to know if this is true, but I have been to various Earl’s and Milestones restaurants and have always been struck with how telegenically good-looking, well sculpted, youthful, and effervescently outgoing are the servers, both female and male. It’s as if the hiring policy of Earl’s and Milestones is that those who are fat or ugly or no-longer-young need not apply.
This means that I, as someone who is ugly, not-well-sculpted, no-longer-young, and introverted, would never be hired by Earl’s or Milestones, no matter how intelligent or competent I may be. This is not only discriminatory, but blatantly unfair, because being ugly, not well sculpted, no-longer-young, and introverted, are things I can’t help being because I was born that way - well, except for being no-longer-young, which, again, is something as beyond my power to control as my racial or ethnic background or the colour of my skin.
This raises the issue of whether it should be as unacceptable in our society to discriminate against those who are ugly, not well sculpted, no-longer-young, or introverted, as it is to discriminate against those who are not of the desired racial background or skin colour.
So, let’s all of us who are ugly, or not well sculpted, or no-longer-young, or introverted, band together and generate a groundswell of collective anger and raised consciousness among the people throughout our fair land, that will result in the boycotting of Earl’s and Milestones and all other eating establishments, and other businesses like airlines, that hire only the beautiful, the handsome, the lean, the chiselled, and the extraverted, so that those who hire them will be made to see the errors of their ways, and will repent, and so will embrace all of us, the unfortunates, who were cursed not to be born this way.
What a wonderful world this would be.
