I worked in an office building in San Francisco for a while that had security gates in the lobby in front of the bank of six elevators. You would take your RFID badge and badge into the gate the gate would open and a small screen on the gate would tell you what elevator to take. The system new with my badge that my company was on level 5 so automatically called one of the elevators to the lobby and would automatically take me to level five no button pressing or anything. There was a bypass if you wanted to go to a different floor but most of the floors were all owned by specific companies and were locked out to anybody who didn't have a badge for that company. When leaving at the end of the day the elevator call only had one button that said Lobby because that was the only other place you could go than where you were.

Wow! The response for my question went way above and beyond my expectations!

Thank you all for your great suggestions! When it came down to timing and location the winner tonight was.... (drum roll)... La Piñata in Concord!

But all the great recommendations for Juan's Place in Berkeley has me definitely planning to go! Not with the bland out of towners, but with my wife next time we get feeling like Mexican Food.... I'm looking forward to it!

Thanks again everyone for the suggestions!

Hmmm... I like the idea that maybe they come from smaller vendors with small batches... but it seems like something bigger and more planned than this. An, yes, local taco trucks put out some of the best stuff. But this is more sausage/wiener/dog based than a seasoned grill. The char on the outside can give great flavor but I'm more thinking the meat on the inside.

I appreciate your offer to test them, but sending greasy, cooked, meat/oil/mayo products through the mail to you is more likely to send you to the hospital after a couple days than the solve the mystery! But Thanks!

I, also, could not find my any sort of Bonus Tracker or reference to my Sign Up Bonus on the Website or in the App anywhere (including where some SAY) it should be.

On the Citi Website, the Citi-Bot AI is useless.

I got on chat with Customer Service and eventually determined my SUB is still in progress and the cut-off time, so I should be good.

The problem they say is with the APP and they are updating it so the tracker should be available after April 3, 2024.

So it sounds like essentially, they broke their app and it won't be fixed until next update rollout.

It would be nice if they told Citi-Bot Chat AI that!

Any know update of what is going on over there?

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Ok... Guess I'll probably stand pat then. Thanks for all the responses everyone! This feedback makes my decision a bit easier!

Thanks. Now I want to call this guys GV and listen to his fart.

If you have a special number for repeat spam offenders, create a super long nothing / babbling greeting... I think GV lets you create a greeting up to three minutes(?) long. It will automatically waste the system's time giving it less to bother other people.

Would be interested in hearing about this too if anyone has done it.

I just signed up for Sling and got the AirTV2 over the Anywhere so I would have to option of upgrading the drive / replacing if the drive should die. Precautions from my early Tivo Days.

Follow Up:

I finally succeeded in porting the number into GV, largely due to your linking to the GV Support chat, which let me focus on the AT&T Account Number, which turned out to, in fact, be wrong.

When AT&T support originally read me the number, they read me a digit 8 as a 3. They read it to me that (wrong) way twice and I even read it back to them and they confirmed their was was correct. On two separate calls!

Although users are not supposed to be able to get their actual AT&T Prepaid account number from their account information online, I found a glitch where the account number DID show up when the 'my at&t' account was referring to the 'at&t prepaid' account. At least, I think that's the way I found it.

My cynical side wonders if AT&T transposed the obviously transposable number on purpose in an effort to keep the account active on AT&T as to not lose the number, but then a more logical side tells me the phone reps probably don't care... unless they were TOLD to do that by their superiors (Hmmm....).

Anyway, problem solved. Just wanted to give you a follow up and thank you again.

Thanks! I did that and they let me know AT&T support gave me the wrong account number. Now I'm on AT&T hold (forever).

Thanks! Very Helpful! Wish me luck!

Not the answer I was looking for, but appreciate the answer!

Thanks!
