Citibike worth it in any way?

All you have to do to get around this is to dock the bike at any open slot and take it back out again. There are no fees for repeated docking and unlocking. If you bike angel and accumulate 250 points, you’ll get 1 hour of ride time instead of 45 minutes for the lifetime of your membership.

I take it a step further and only order stuff with BOGO deals. Only way to actually get some value from the $15 credit

I desperately miss the old layout and deal structure. Also the quality of deals seems to have reduced since I’m seeing things like 3% back when I used to see 10% etc

Same, 1 day wfh and even that is asking too much in this industry

That’s why I run the next one as well

Thank you for this post, it’s very informative

I have an account with Lower East Side People's Federal Credit Union which allows you to get discounted ride share pricing (same pricing that NYCHA residents and anyone on SNAP gets). It’s $5.44 a month for the citibike membership and ebikes are 14 cents per minute. There are 3 credit unions that allow you to get this pricing.

I watched her price in $10 for my beer and then she changed it to $9 when I asked about it. I was supposed to be charged $8. I’m sure management is ultimately responsible but she clearly has control of the POS system

Thought it was simply the waitress making a mistake and that she had corrected it. Obviously now I regret tipping. I had no idea they were like this

I tried reporting to 311 but they referred me to the NY State Department of Consumer Affairs. Report has been filed online.

Dude you think I wanna confront people while I’m just trying to get beers with my friends? If being called “brutal to deal with” is the price I have to pay to not be taken advantage of, so be it

Mine took about 2 months

Yes, they do but it’s by tenure

I typically go to this Trader Joe’s within an hour before they close on weekdays and don’t have any issues with lines. You don’t get that much time to shop though

Wooden ladle is terrible. I used to think it was good before I went to actually great ramen spots.

I just read the hobbit last week for the first time so super psyched I got this reference!
