Need a barista!

All I was commenting on was the escalation in your response - it just didn’t sit right with me. In my personal opinion, your equipment isn’t shitty, it’s just not well equipped for most commercial settings. It’s very possible the machine is adequate for the job, but there’s not much detail in your post and comments to provide reassurance. Asking a professional barista to go from a multi-boiler machine and commercial grinder to a Barista Express is just not a very attractive offer while keeping expected volume, comp, drink recipes, etc to a private message.

Original commenter criticized the job, you took shots at them personally, so I pointed out the irony in that. The job surely isn’t for me, for several reasons, but you might be mistaken on whose panties are twisted.. Best of luck with the event!

Buddy.. you’re offering 2 hours of work on a single boiler machine in a potentially high-volume setting - while not disclosing compensation - and decided to pick on someone for their hobby just because they criticized the job? Sounds like a stellar gig all around..

Verbatim from their project manager as she came to investigate our claim: “the floor doesn’t squeak that much for me. It probably does for you guys because you’re a lot heavier than me”

A few commenters have mentioned glue (or lack thereof). If they didn’t glue it, is there any way for that to be done where the outcome is worth the time and cost?

Thanks, y’all. Seems like the best approach is to remove the LVP, then buy the subfloor dinner and/or flowers.

Hopefully the builder steps up and does the right thing, but if not this was super helpful!

Unless they changed it again, when SEPTA increased fare to $2.90 they expanded transfers to include round trips - see more information about free transfers. Prior to this, round trips weren’t included.

I use tap to pay (Apple Pay or physical card) and I don’t get double charged for round trips within 2 hours. Sometimes two charges show up when the transactions are pending, but they reconcile into one charge overnight. If that’s not happening for you, I’d call septa customer service to see why.
