This is like the first time you see one of your school teachers in supermarket.

Ye, I remember the first time seeing one of my nuns riding a bike without a habit on.

Yea, I love it when strangers take my pic in public.

He'd probably rather you said hi than take a picture of him without him knowing for the internet, at least I would

Yeah, you just took a creep shot.

"retired man goes to diner" is not news, LMAO

“Human who posts photo of retired man at diner on reddit, is slammed” seems like a standard Yahoo news article anymore

it seems like people are leaving him be. if you don’t like having your picture taken in 2023 you can’t leave your house, there are cameras everywhere.

Don't try to tell us that some weirdo taking a creepshot is the same as CCTV in Walmart. Totally not the same thing dude.

You probably believe it is fine the government spies on me because I have nothing to hide also, right?

I was there yesterday! The best old school diner. Efficient and professional service, great vibe, great value in food and drinks. I still think OP shouldn't have taken a picture furtively. Happy new year everybody!

I live right up the street from it. Easily my favorite spot. I have yet to be disappointed in an order from there.

I saw Jim at Minella's a few years ago! I've heard he's there quite a bit.

You can get a side of chipped beef there, and it's literally an entire bowl filled with it. It's fucking awesome, being lactose intolerant on the other hand, is not.

I was pretty upset when I learned this story a few weeks ago.

napsdufroid t1_j21oq2j wrote

Why?

popfilms t1_j22jx4m wrote

Because they made him change his name on account of him being Jewish?

PirelliSuperHard t1_j24pamp wrote

It is extremely common in this industry to change your stage name for a multitude of reasons.

popfilms t1_j25a2b7 wrote

Sure, but they made him do it because he was Jewish. That's pretty upsetting. As someone with an extremely Jewish name I have a hard time comprehending that.

Used to see him when I worked at apple in Ardmore many moons ago. It was wild to hear that voice IRL. Had the same experience when I met Lou Nolan a few years ago.

Looks like a well stocked bar. Where?

Brunt-FCA-285 t1_j207fgp wrote

Minella’s Diner in Wayne has had a well-stocked bar at least since I started occasionally eating there during college breaks in the late 2000s. I do wish it was still 24 hours, but that’s probably nostalgia talking.
