Mary Williams+FollowMartini Fail: The Olive Oil DisasterEver tried making a dirty martini at home and ended up with a greasy mess? Turns out, Trader Joe’s blue cheese stuffed olives are packed in olive oil, not brine—so your martini will taste more like salad dressing than a cocktail. Tons of people online have made the same mistake! Pro tip: check the label, or grab garlic-stuffed or lemon-stuffed olives for the real briny flavor.

Robert Daniels+FollowConway coffee shop changes after labor law reviewA recent Department of Labor review at The Rock Church’s C-3 Coffee Shop in Conway revealed that a homeschooled teen was working during school hours, which isn’t allowed under federal law. What’s more, tips left by customers were going to the church instead of the baristas. The church says it’s now updating policies: teens under 16 won’t work during school hours, and the tip jar is now labeled as a donation jar. This situation really highlights how even well-meaning organizations can slip up on labor rules. How do you feel about tips going to the church instead of the workers? #Food #ConwaySC #LaborLaws00Share
