Restaurant.com is one of the worst companies out there.  Predatory sales practices, contracts that are impossible to get out of for restaurants, and allegations of flat out lying.

Restaurant.com is so garbage. I got “$20" on there for completing a survey last year. There are barely any good restaurants on there in my area, and the ones that were on there only had $5 gift certificates that you could purchase with the promotion. Those $5 gift certificates couldn’t be combined and were limited to…

the available restaurants is limited and you don’t pay through the site. You use the gift certificate to buy gift certificates for the different restaurants. then you get to the fun part, generally these gift certificates have “Special terms” listed below them that state the minimum purchase required to use them which…

I had the same thought, if it was $25 in concession credit each month that would be amazing. As soon as I saw it was restaurant.com, the deal just collapsed on itself.

I thought it was going to be for $25 in concessions, which would have been an amazing deal. I have moviepass and would have picked this up in a second. But just for food AND having to go through restaurant.com?  They would have to pay me.

Anyone who has used restaurant.com knows this is no deal, only a headache.  

Seriously. Justin decries the Jetsons noise as annoying and offers effectively a trolley car chime to replace it. Lol no.

“The common, non-serious solution is a Jetsons-like sound effect, an electric wave noise to symbolize the “future” of EVs and make us all feel like we’re living in the future society we were promised as children. But we all know that would get incredibly annoying as electric cars become more regular and grow in…

I can’t speak for Europe, but no one in America is going to go out of their way to push the noise maker button, considering how many drivers don’t use their turn signals.

Caps looked much better this game (yes even 5v5) because they adjusted their game plan. It really can all be boiled down to a few things:

Found another dipshit who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Medallions are sold between owners, not by the govt. The free market decided on that price. Deal with it.

Oligopoly.

It’s still rigged and bullshit.

No, the govt did not, the free market did. Yet another dipshit who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

They treated their customers like shit, barely maintained their vehicles, overcharged, and set up a stupid medallion system to enforce their century old monopoly. They get competition for the first time and instead of trying to adapt and be more modern, they try to get the competition banned. We are supposed to feel…

I’ve been passed up by multiple cabs in NYC. Maybe if they actually served the nonwhite population, they’d make more money.

Propping up a government supported monopoly seems like a short sighted way of preventing suicides.

Its very pertinent. It is precisely the reason why I don’t take taxis. One year in Philadelphia just as a blizzard was hitting all public transportation had stopped & the only things riding up & down the street were taxis. Me & 3 other black guys stood for over 30 minutes as we attempted to flag down drivers to no…

Don’t blame ridesharing apps. The medallion system created an artificial scarcity. Cabs almost never showed up during the evenings, it was impossible to get one around closing time. They sat on their hunches and refused to move with the times. How long did it take them to accept credit cards? No the cab industry…

The ratio of about four “rideshare” vehicles in ny to one cab says the market can bear a fourfold increase in supply and still provide for all. Yellow cab owners got the losing end of the bargain because they have to service the debt incurred by the medallion. Mr. Chow’s loss is tragic but no more so than anyone…

Although this is terrible news I have difficulty in general having sympathy for taxi drivers. Compared to Uber or Lyft, they provide an equal or worse product at usually a far greater price.
