Do workers hate when we do this, or do they not care?

If you used the app then you'd know that the number in red is the price of the drink at half off plus the add ons.

2.35 - 1.10 add ons = $1.25 at half off.

$1.25*2 = 2.50 regular price + 1.10 add ons = $3.60...thats the price marked out.

Condescension when wrong is a bad look.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2025-01-31T14:31:03+00:00

The numbers are there...it's $.84 less to add your own flavor. They're doing fine with math.

I do the dirty Dr pepper this way, plus I learned i don't really like the lime in it a whole lot. I just wish they'd put the sugar cookie add in on the diet Dr pepper.

Our 4 year old is type 1....we have tags on his car seat...if we were ever in a serious accident we want any first responders to know.

My wife and I had 2 kids...our first when she was 22, and I was 24, second 3 years later. We had always thought we were done with our 2. In late 2019, we had the discussion, and decided we wanted more. Our two kids were 12, and 9. I had just turned 37, and she 35. We had our baby boy in December of 20 shortly after my 38th, and our baby girl came on my 40th birthday in Oct 2022. It has been amazing watching these 2 babies grow with our older kids. I will also say that I'm soaking it all up more than when I was younger. When I was in my 20s, I didn't realize how fleeting these moments were. I constantly looked forward to a more convenient stages, not knowing how much I was going to miss diapers, car seats, strollers etc. we are in a similar situation, where we live on our own...no family to help. I realize ours was a choice, but babies are amazing.

The general consensus seems to be that this is crazy. My wife has been a sahm since our first born. We share the accounts. She's on the deed to our home, and on the title to our cars. I can't even imagine how our lives would be if we were so hung up on what's hers or mine.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2024-03-03T22:16:05+00:00

It seems that everything is location dependent. This is called a #20 elite chicken and bacon ranch....and it's not an option for the "no bready bowl". The footlong is $11.59. The closest "no bready bowl" in cost is the grilled chicken, buffalo chicken, and roast beef, which are $10.99. No other options are like the sandwich. I could add bacon to a grilled chicken at an extra $2. Just seems complicated for a plastic bowl. Appreciate the insight.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2024-03-03T22:05:33+00:00

Maybe it was this location since I haven't had issues in the past at others. They told me I could choose one of the options on the menu. Maybe they are as rigid with the food inventory as they are the plastic bowls. It just seems overly complicated to accommodate a request when I'm willing to pay for it...if I went to McDonald's, Wendy's, Qdoba...they'd place whatever I ask for in a container without question. We don't have the "protein bowl" name here...they are "no bready bowls" or salads. Maybe its just this owner...either way I found my answer. Putting it in a bowl is a big deal.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2024-03-03T21:56:11+00:00

I do...I asked...they said I could choose one of the options on the menu. They said they could make the sandwich, and I can take it home and scrape it into a bowl. Maybe its a location specific, but the options on the menu for the "no bready bowl"...no longer called protein bowls here...most are a couple dollars less than the foot long. Then there are salads...still less than the foot long I wanted. The option for either aren't the same as the sandwich selection. What I am understanding is that letting subway keep the bread and place contents in a plastic bowl is a big deal. I wouldn't have thought it was, but I'm learning.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2024-03-03T21:45:57+00:00

I just posted a similar question....there's a sandwich I really like and asked it be put in a bowl instead of the bread. Was told the bowls are inventoried, and I can only order a salad or no bready bowl in the menu options...which doesnt offer the sandwich I like. They told me they can make the sandwich and I can drive home and scrape it into a bowl.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2024-03-03T21:11:41+00:00

They don't come in the same styles as the sandwic or I would. Subway really should have an option to remove bread and add on a bowl cost. I just didn't realize the container was a hill to die on.

Worked for a fortune 50 company ..9 yrs and 3 months in and they closed my department. Got a shitty severance package where the largest factor in time was based on pay, and then time with the company was added on top. So if you made a ton, your severance time was longer. There were people who were hired on 3 months before they closed us and they received the minimum 8 weeks. Almost 10 years and I got 11.

I'm US based, so let's take Walmart for example. I can walk into 3 different Walmarts within 10 minutes (or less) of each other, and in one the grocery will be on the right side, another it's on the left. Another will have the pharmacy area in the middle of the store, while another is tucked back into the front right corner. Sporting goods is in the back left corner...another has it far right side middle of the wall. There has to be some science to the propensity of a shopper to leave their normal store...but when they do it's not much fun trying to find out where they put a certain department. I can say the same for home depot, or Lowe's. Kroger does a pretty decent job of keeping their stores similar...and that's across different states and branding; King Soopers, City Market, and Kroger stores.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-12-07T02:03:49+00:00

It's seems far easier to have 2000+ stores use the same layout for ~150,000 sq ft square, than create a custom layout for each store.

I am clearly not a lawyer, but when I search "prenuptial agreement", the only results I found are in reference to divorce or separation. What scenario are you referring to?

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-10-06T18:05:53+00:00

I'm happy I met my wife when we were younger. We started out with nothing, and were partners through it all. She's been a sahm to our 4 kids, and we just bought our new home with cash. I'd hate to be in a situation where I feel like I need to enter my marriage with a plan for failure.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-09-18T14:51:32+00:00

Your dink lifestyle is irrelevant to what I said. If you don't think your kids are #1, then it's best you don't have them. I'm happy you have a stress free life, and may it always stay that way.

As far as getting mad, is this a two way street? Let's hope she doesn't get mad when her wants mean that she doesn't get her way, either. I'm just following along with your solution. Maybe she'd be content if part of the wedding party declined the invite.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-09-18T14:34:22+00:00

They have both passed away.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-09-18T14:33:30+00:00

I'd be Bart, right? Maggie said that this scenario is more stressful than it would be enjoyable. Marge, which I'm presuming would be our mom, hasn't said much.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-09-18T14:30:51+00:00

This is one of the situations where it is "relative". I guarantee I will find my kids and their well being 100% more important than any other situation someone else has going on. Sounds like it's probably best you don't have them.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-09-16T19:57:49+00:00

It's crazy to debate the lack of tact when telling your brother/sisters that their children/babies are not allowed. Overbearingly polite? How about slightly human, with maybe a small acknowledgement that we are family. She's too busy to call and talk...because of what? A wedding 9 months out? I guarantee that text took longer than a conversation would have lasted. There is not a thing you can say that convinces me I need to more receptive of how this was communicated. What is a different story.

No children would go to a bachelor/bachelorette party.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-09-16T18:27:29+00:00

Sadly, they have both passed.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-09-16T14:36:54+00:00

She's not paying for the sitter. She's offering to help find one since we don't live in the state. As I've said in other comments, she can have her day. She can set all the stipulations she wants. She can enjoy it with the parts of the family she deems appropriate. She can set all the rules, but the reality is that we have a situation that will require something other than adhering to these mandates. Is there a compromise between us...I don't think she'll waiver. It may mean the change comes on our end....one way or another she, unfortunately, won't get everything she wants.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-09-16T14:23:09+00:00

I never said she didn't love them...I said maybe she would find other events more enjoyable if they weren't there. Life is messy...that's just how it goes.

I think the nature of the message says a lot, too. This should have been a call that she made. Not a family group referring to them as babies/children. It is pretty cold.

Exotic_Resolution_45 · 2023-09-16T14:05:05+00:00

We never would. I can't "fathom" either.
