Imagine being an actual woman and having to deal with this bullshit all the fucking time. I have no idea how the hell they do it. Must be low-level torture.

Imagine if women behaved this way toward men. Before making the obvious snarky remarks, step back and think about how unpleasant that would be, as well as distracting from doing actual work, degrading (they aren't taking you seriously as a professional, just as a f-k), etc.

>It gives a standard salutation and signs off with “Thank you, .”

I thought this was a mistake implying the bot was thanking itself as a way of signing off, but finally I realized it's probably supposed be a format like the end of a letter similar to "best wishes, topherclay".

Someone who pesters waitresses to ensure the procreation of the human race is an argument against why that should occur.

I'm sorry, what world do you live in? As a server, women were extremely crass and inappropriate with me all of the time and it wasn't nice at all for me. I am also not the type to be that kind of guy so it was very jarring for me to experience.
