It was sorely tested by the recent Soccer Card Outrage. This began when a woman representing a group of conventioneers showed up with two plastic cards, one red and one yellow, on a cord around her neck. When any of the Moscone staffers committed an offense, she flashed a card as if she were a World Cup referee. She apparently invented the offenses as she went along.
A thirsty staffer got a yellow card for filling his 1-liter water bottle at the staff water cooler. Apparently, it would have been preferable for him to refill a pint bottle multiple times. Dog Bites and her comrades went on the warpath, stage-whispering complaints the entire morning. The supervisor eventually got the point. By lunchtime, the card lady was gone. Goal!
Dog Bites no longer looks askance at surly service workers after this morale-boosting demonstration of camaraderie. The transformation is complete. We have become one of them.
