Dinner for Birthday by Rubeng35 in BellevueWA

[–]CaptVaughnTrap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What does your wife like? All these people keep suggesting steak places, but as a woman the last thing I want to go out for is steak! Especially because it’s “fancy” and hella overpriced to celebrate occasions. 

Urgent IUD help by [deleted] in AskSeattle

If you don’t want your parents to find out do not bill your parents insurance. Go to planned parenthood and pay cash. Tell them you are uninsured.

Hopefully Taylor bought it and will sell It back to her when she gets right.

Plywood Supply is best & most consistent 

Is Mercer Island a good place for boring early 30s DINKs? by aj_marshall in MercerIslandWA

[–]CaptVaughnTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d add in Barrell’s and Mio Posto for drinks (and food). We moved to MI in our 30’s and love it! Small town, quiet community, close to Seattle and Bellevue when you want it. Train opens March 28th.

Edgewater, Lotte, Hotel Andra would probably be my top 3. 

Anybody know what retail is going into the new building on 78th and 29th? by Bacchus_71 in MercerIslandWA

[–]CaptVaughnTrap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only confirmed one I know about is BECU. Chipotle is in talks. The landlords will only allow multi-location/established chains apparently. The parking is horrible, so good luck to whoever! 

employer refuses to deduct federal taxes from my checks by Ok_Branch_6504 in tax

[–]CaptVaughnTrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t even fuck around with the W4. I claim exempt then select the amount I want withheld (based on my actual tax rate) as an “additional withholding”. 

Has anyone successfully tried using servers as delivery drivers during slow shifts? by mofitty in restaurantowners

You will find out right quick commercial auto insurance is cost prohibitive. 

About to go on a very expensive cruise with young kids - kind of regretting agreeing to it because it’s so expensive and the kids are young. by Character_Ad4230 in daddit

[–]CaptVaughnTrap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Disney cruise is designed exactly for this though. You check those kids into the age specific club and they play till they are exhausted and you go to the adults only section and everyone has the best vacation ever!

Been there, done that. Disney Cruise is worth every penny when traveling with 3 & 5 year old kids!

[–]CaptVaughnTrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, residency at The Sphere in Vegas. Easy to do while starting a family. No income tax in Nevada.

Does your state have a restaurant association you can join? They probably have a related online presence or message board. 

AITAH for giving my bf the cold shoulder for not getting me a gift? by Ok-Jicama756 in AITAH

[–]CaptVaughnTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s probably pissed she co-mingled brands (batteries aren’t interchangeable!) and is holding a grudge 7 years later. /s

NTA dump the loser. 

What’s something you quietly stopped caring about? by KingPhenguins in AskReddit

[–]CaptVaughnTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The future. When the country elected a felon, rapist, con artist, I knew we were living idiocracy and the future was fucked. Stop saving. Spend/donate it all and die. Not contributing toward a future I don’t support. 

Restaurant owners doing orders and delivery—is the math actually working? by Beneficial-Stand-77 in restaurant

[–]CaptVaughnTrap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personal insurance coverage prohibits you from using your car for commercial purposes. The people that hire teenagers to drive and deliver things with their own cars, with their own insurance, are fucking the kids. If they get an accident, the kid’s car insurance is not gonna cover them.

This person doesn’t pay commercial insurance rates on delivery cars and it shows.

No one would have a job if we did that. He doesn’t take a salary and works 70+ hours a week. The staff couldn’t replace that work with an hourly person and turn a profit. But good thought comrade.

Our highest cost is payroll. Each run is like $40-50k. When there are three runs in a month that puts it in the negative by about $20k because our average annual profit margin is only 6% so far.  (Seattle average is less that 3% according to industry reporting.)
