1. The name is stupid.

2. If you don't get there by 10:50, you'll be waiting on the sidewalk with the starving, precaffeinated throng.

3. It takes three hours to get a glass of orange juice, thanks to "the rush."

4. If you go with three equally fabulous female friends, you're a cliché.

5. The hollandaise is made from the butter that was languishing on tables the night before. (Didn't you read Kitchen Confidential?)

6. Other people.

7. Your only solution to the sweet-or-savory conundrum is to get both the huevos rancheros and the challah French toast ("to share with the table"), eat all 1200 calories, and self-loathe the rest of the day.

8. That ill-advised Bloody Mary will make the afternoon wither like the stalk of rubbery celery in your glass.

How to Speak Out for Fair Pay for Women

Now that you've read our report on why women are still making 77 cents to the dollar, support Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and the other many co-sponsors of the Paycheck Fairness Act — and speak out for fair pay for women.

MC@Work: Reality Check

From hard-hitting news producers to terrorist-hunting CIA agents, the range of careers held down by our favorite female characters on TV has never been wider. But just how realistic are these portrayals? Marie Claire asked real-life pros to weigh in.
