Souder is a bully and should be ashamed. If the voters dont dump him this time, it is a shame.

As a past customer of the House side cafeterias I must point out that a favorite feature at the deli locations is turkey pastrami. They also feature traditional pastrami. Not saying that the meat was the source of the conflict, but just that's it's not as clear cut as the article makes it seem. Back to important stuff.

I grew up in Souders district, ugh child hood....anyways he and the religious right stroke each other, so it begs the question does he follow what he preaches? You know the whole treat others as you would want to be treated.

You don't think Mr Buyer is arrogant and mean enough to have a low-level guy like this fired? Have you met him?

I once watched him berate an auditorium full of 7-12th graders because they didn't participate enough in the flag ceremony before he spoke. This in front of their VOTING teachers... and to his hometown school.

No idea how Souder performs, but one can imagine that power gets its way. I'd also leave after such an incident... and like Souder would never ask for the employee to even be disciplined.

I feel really bad my family has been misuing the term "toasted" all these years...

On the other hand, nice to hear the guy got his job back.

I'm chuckling thinking about an ancient joke my dad used to tell about a sandwich "cut up not toasted" and also had the phrase "shoulda had it toasted" in it.

I know none of that made sense, but the joke has to do with acronyms and name calling...

Grilled means the bread is heated on the grill. Toasted means the bread is toasted in an oven. If it's grilled, it picks up other food flavors from the grill, right?

I have interacted with Souder multiple times. He's not going to be attending any Mensa meetings. And I detest his politics.

But I don't think he has it in him, to insist on a cafeteria worker's firing over this incident.

No one is that mean.

Well, Cruella DeVille maybe...Souder is a goof, but he's not this kind of vindictive.

I'm hoping no one is.

Now, are we talking about toasted as in "on toast"...

Now, are we talking about toasted as in "on toast"?

Because where I come from toasted and grilled are synonymous. I think "grilled cheese" is more commonly used (here anyway), however, "toasted cheese" means the same thing in my world. Or is "toasted" something you make in a toaster oven (an appliance, which, I have to say, I don't totally understand).

We also had "toasted PB&J" by the way. You make the sandwich then fry in in the skillet in butter like a toasted (grilled) cheese, and all the peanut butter melts. Mmmmmm.

I don't want to question The Hill's journalism, but I think these are facts we need to know!
