Some customers even go the extra mile and check items in the bag against the receipt to ensure they weren’t charged for something extra.

I’d recommend you try a cold ferment for 10-12 hours in the fridge, once I gave up trying to do it all in a day, I found the rise and flavor are both improved with a trip in the chiller.

It’s supposed to effectively act as a one-trip pass, so you will still get the discount associated with being a member.

Alternatively, give your friend (at least) $25 and have them buy you a Costco gift card next time they go. Then you can go at your leisure.

I understand all of that. In fact I acknowledged pretty much all of that. My comment was directed towards the article making bullshit excuses to justify it—nonsense like this:

Let’s not defend these practices. Every single one, with the exception of the autograt, is to make sure the restaurant gets money out of you, even if it provides no service that wouldn’t have also been provided (for free) had you ordered it from them. Corkage fee? All the services listed would have been provided if…

I have fully embraced the no-contact delivery, but mostly because I don’t want to keep the delivery driver standing there waiting on me. Sometimes nature calls when they’re almost there, sometimes I’m just sitting in my room watching tv, so it takes a second for me to get out there, especially if they’re earlier than…

Pets are none the wiser. In many no-contact delivery situations, you can specify that the delivery person doesn’t need to knock, meaning your dogs won’t go berserk at the sound of a buzzer or doorbell.

From frequenting the Blue Jays reddit page, I’ve seen all sorts of stories about people bringing food into SkyDome, ranging from whole pizzas to charcuterie boards.

For Tampa to take advantage of people entering the stadium, that would require anyone other than the teams and stadium employees to enter.

You’re not wrong. The national average is down about 15-30 cents per gallon in the last 3 weeks.

I feel like this is a story that comes around every few years with a new company set to disrupt the industry, only for companies to realize the costs involved in outsourcing the job is higher than just paying someone minimum wage to do it.

This is an older article, but it accurately highlights why the US resisted (and still resists to some degree) chip & PIN, or even just chipped cards.

The one time in the last year that my friends and I tried to sort it out amongst ourselves, I got shorted considerably because they shifted digital money around the table before we were done figuring everything out and it was a total disaster, they even screwed up the tip situation due to the confusion.

Completely understand, especially in this kind of situation where it’s 100% my fault! I might be way off base, but I think when you go through the app, a refund is usually pretty automatic because it’s coming from corporate, rather than a local franchisee who may be reluctant to “reward” someone for their own mistake.…

Once, when ordering Chipotle, I ordered at the wrong location. I was there waiting to pick it up before I ordered. I just placed a new order (luckily there was no line) in person, then got on the in-app chat and told them what happened, and they refunded my original order. Never had to bug the employees about it…

My big issue with the McD’s app is the same one you point out in the TB app, or at least for one specific item—breakfast sandwiches. The folded egg on any sandwich is a no go in my book, so I like to sub in the round egg. Currently, or at least the last time I tried, to do that you have to remove the folded egg and…

If you are performing this test with milk*, I would recommend pouring the milk into a spoon. The edge of a milk carton can start to smell funky even while the milk inside is fine

There are also some that are counted as failures after the restaurant was sold and the new owner rebranded, like , which was apparently doing pretty well when the owners got burnt out and sold the place
