Giving a delivery guy $5 is insane. Most of the places around downtown JC charge a delivery fee. It is only a dollar or two but so what. I give $2 no matter what. Plus they are destroying the environment by leaving the car running. they should be delivering food on a bike like the Chinese restaurants do.

On the way to the gym every morning at 5:00-6:00 AM I see a City Hall Messenger car parked illegally in front of the police station on Erie and Bay. Last week he was actually parked in the crosswalk the day after it snowed. I saw a uniform cop getting in a car and I told him I liked the parking space. Instead of giving the car a ticket he told me to mind my own business. It seems JC PD forget about the Protect & Serve Motto. It is more like pay more property taxes so I can get better benefits is their motto. There are entirely too many older JC police that make fat checks and should have long ago retired but they stay because they are making so much money. You could rationalize it if they were cops on the street but you know most of those guys are just part of the administration.

I saw that crosswalk post that they make $31,000 a year. are you kidding me. That is a part time job. They should be hiring retired people/full time moms for that job and they should not be making $31,000 + benefits. I mean seriously what is this a a 20 hour a week hob. Plus I saw they get cars. what the hell do you need to give them cars for. That is such a waste of money. Look at it this way. This job is what 35 weeks a year. Assuming they work 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, that is around $45 a hour. You really think someone who holds up a stop sign so kids can cross the street should get $45 an hour. No wonder Jc is almost bankrupt.
