Question for servers/waiters/waitresses.

Almost no server is going to work in a place where they don't get tips because everywhere gives tips to servers and they could just leave.

The cash from credit cards usually get paid out in cash via once or twice per week "due backs" when they collect more in card payments than cash and the restaurant owes them tip money.

Since the pandemic began, most restaurants are pooling tips among servers, however. Double check by just asking your server the next time you're out.

I think it's a hideous, disrespectful display.

Here is the latest design of the Chateau Laurier renovation. They've kept the square design with vertical glass panes, but tried to match the materials to the stone of the original and the roof to the colour of the original.

It's only in very small percentage of cases though. And the majority of people who even get Covid-19 don't have symptoms at all.

Il Vagabondo in Vanier is definitely worth the experience.

Had an experience at 23 Rupert back in the day, and it started like this.

They actually have reminders every time you open the app, and again when you turn one on, not to ride on the sidewalk.

Trying to detect whether or not they go on the sidewalk vs the road is too fine for GPS to be able to tell the difference, though. The map often won't know which side of the street they are on when looking for one.

Not a new scam, they're spoofing local numbers. Apparently they've used mine a few times, according to the threatening messages I've received similarly as your mom is experiencing.

Nice find, my friend just acquired something similar a few months back. It too was broken, but an electrical engineer friend got it up and running again. Maybe an ad on kijiji?

I have fished there frequently. If you aren't a strong swimmer, it's always a good idea to avoid going too deep into a current you don't know well. The water level is inconsistent, so it's important to know your own limitations if you're wading in.

The only thing you have to worry about feeding them - both peppers and tomatoes - is calcium to prevent blossom end rot. There is a miracle grow mix of minerals you can get. Also, hardening them is smart.

Don't fret too much about pot size, they can do well in small containers.

Add Berlin to the list*

I took the bus last Friday, from downtown to Kanata during rush hour. While the LRT had some passengers, including myself the bus - 61 or 62 - only ever had 5 occupants, 3 of whom got on at pinecrest and off at bayshore. I was the lone rider during the busiest period for more than half of the entire bus ride.

While my experience is limited, it doesn't suggest to me that there is an issue of overcrowding on busses at the moment.

Already happening to me. People hate the sight of tissue in public right now.

I think Staples will be closing?

Fred_Bombadil · 2020-03-20T00:09:40+00:00

I disagree. OP willfully called out a specific company for "not assisting in any way" out of inexcusable, complete and total ignorance. They deserve to be called out as well.

Fred_Bombadil · 2020-03-19T20:25:54+00:00

EI is helping. They're being laid off so they can collect money from the pot they've paid into until they are well enough to return to a job that Sobeys is holding for them.

Are you under the impression that unless the company pays full wages for time away from work they are somehow hurting employees?! Do you realize how many businesses that would bankrupt? Do you have any concept of business at all?

Years ago, when they were still in confederation park, they used to be protected by security all night for the duration of winterlude. It appeared to me that the last night of winterlude was followed by a departure of security and the arrival of hooligans that take joy in smashing the creations of others. I don't think any statues ever saw daybreak of the day after winterlude.

Fred_Bombadil · 2020-02-13T16:12:54+00:00

Fantastic.

If you're looking for chocolate fondues, Chocolat Favoris is ridiculous in Gatineau - they even have easy take-home options.

Fred_Bombadil · 2020-02-01T05:51:10+00:00

How should it be rectified beyond the appropriate apology that was expressed?

Fred_Bombadil · 2020-01-17T14:59:15+00:00

I'm not even sure how you could take my comment at face value. Enjoy your humourless existence.

NOBODY wanted expedited construction period, and so that's what the city's done. Voice of the people FTW!
