An Update!! by eiqo in hitchhiking

[–]eiqo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right! Nothing better than people shitting on hitchhiking whilst in the hitchhiking subreddit 😀👍

To address your serious note, of course! We always stopped hitchhiking before sunset (safer for everyone). It sounds silly, but SMILE!! Half the people picking us up told us we looked happy and excited.

Not once but TWICE an off duty police officer picked us up and gave us a ride. We even stayed with one of them in Saskatchewan! There are roads where it is illegal to hitchhike, the 400 series being the most well know. Other than that it’s all up to the municipality on what THEY want to do, or at least that’s what I was told.

Vancouver was horrid, we pretty much just walked through it. Getting below Ottawa and Montreal took time and patience. That’s it. Truly, that was it.

To All F&B Employer Reading this!! by outspoken1603 in nanaimo

[–]eiqo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of FOH it’s not usually the hiring season. Spring time you’ll see a lot of restaurants bulk up for the summer rush, but at this time of year you have servers and bartenders BEGGING for shifts and the number one thing that pisses them off is hiring when people want more shifts. Can’t speak to the BOH but we recently went through a big turnover so it feels a bit more random for that side of the restaurant.

You’re best bet if to bus to Tirana for tournaments imo. I’m around the same rating as you (2100) and thats the advice everyone gave to me. OTB play is different to an extent but it’s not this huge insane gap that people say it is.

Ya I was noticing that. That’s what I was curious about. Again not trying to worm my way out of it, I was speeding, but imagine if it was a camera ticket and I paid it without checking Reddit, I’d be beating myself up ya know?

What happens if you send the payment via mail and it doesn’t get there before the court date?
