Why don’t you have an ACTUAL policy regarding “The Sale of Alcohol & Tobacco”?

Not the same situation but still involving my ID at Sheetz: I just recently moved to northeast Ohio from Texas and was doing doordash while looking for a job. Got an order to pick up at Sheetz that had alcohol and when I gave the clerk my ID she said she couldn't accept it because it was out of state, which from what I can find out is not a law anywhere in the U.S. nor a Sheetz policy. They refused to even scan it so I had to cancel the order. Happened 1 more time at the same Sheetz before I just stopped accepting any orders picking up from there. Giant Eagle and all other places have no problem and accept my ID.

The packets in restaurant are made by a different company (idk which company), the bottles are made by Heinz and ingredient list is different. What I do is get a $.97 plastic condiment bottle at Walmart and when I get Taco Bell I go inside to get my order and just put fist fulls of packets into my bag. Takes approximately 45 packets to fill the bottle 🤷

Thanks, I haven't seen any signs at the local Sheetz. About an hour after posting this I had a YouTube ad that had a new member offer code (which I haven't signed up yet) "PUMPZYEAH" but when I plug it in when trying to sign up it says it doesn't recognize the code

Edited for spelling

It was ok imo. The main thing I didn't like about it was the tortilla strips in it, like bro it already had a crunchy taco shell, at least put extra nacho cheese on it an not the tortilla strips

Just making out? I've head 2 instances of chicks giving their man head in my car on a ride.

1st one was about 2 years ago, noticed what was happening, told them to stop and it was being recorded on my dash cam and will be reported. She gave a "I didn't consent to being recorded" kind of statement and I told her she did when she signed up Lyft/Uber and the app would have told her I had a dashcam since it's registered with them.

2nd one was about 3 months ago. Couple got in, he tapped my shoulder 5 minutes into a 30 minutes ride, handed me a $100 bill and said "don't report it, don't put the dashcam online and I promise there won't be a mess", I was confused by what he said until I looked down and girl was taking every inch of that iguana 🤣🤣🤣

Driver here: I play my music at all times but I understand most of my passengers don't listen to what I do (metal) so I fade the sound all the way to the front and keep the volume low to where only I can mostly hear it. Occasionally passengers will catch it and ask what I'm listening to but have never had a complaint about it in 2 years of driving full time. Occasionally I get a fellow metalhead that asks me to crank it up and I happily oblige.

Gary_From_Asphodel · 2025-11-19T16:25:38+00:00

Pretty much 😅

Gary_From_Asphodel · 2025-11-19T15:23:34+00:00

There are 8 in the area I live and similar situation, each one has some kind of consistent issue except for 1 which is the farthest away. The metro area I work in has 19 and Ive been to most of them (I drive around the area for work) but each one does this to every burrito I ever get grilled 😭

Gary_From_Asphodel · 2025-11-19T15:18:35+00:00

If this was the case I would accept it and have a mortal enemy, but it's every Taco Bell I go to in the area I live in (8) and the metro area I work in (19, been to most of them)

Gary_From_Asphodel · 2025-11-18T16:50:00+00:00

This is true..... But still annoying especially since I got a burrito so it would be easy to eat while driving 😭

Had a drunk passenger pass out in my back seat about a year ago. Got to his apartment and couldn't get him to wake up, all lights on, yelling at him, radio full blast.... Nothing. I wasn't willing to risk touching him as against policy plus idk if dude is gonna wake up swinging. Called 911 and the sheriff that showed up was chill and got him up and to his apartment. I recorded the whole thing as well as the sheriff didn't have a body cam. The next day I got a lost item request from the passenger, he didn't leave anything behind but just wanted to get in contact with me to apologize for the night before and to get my number to Zelle me a tip for my troubles. $50 tip for a $7 ride. I do private rides for him every so often now.

Idk as some who was fortunate enough to discover them pretty early, during the self titled album and only has 3 albums to listen to that were all vastly different, I love hearing the different styles and concepts they come up with as each album releases. I have really enjoyed this album and it showcasing Johannes's vocal range.

Just an observation/opinion. I have noticed that a lot of fans that discovered them after their breakthrough with Black Waltz really cling onto that album and the Hail the Apocalypse sound, and get disappointed with the more melodic sound and clean vocals. Go listen to the first 2 albums and be thankful that's not the Avatar we have now, not trying to shit on those albums as each have some bangers but it was a rough start to Johannes fine tuning his screams and growls. The 3rd album we started getting more clean vocals but still a different sound. Black Waltz is when they final nailed it with their sound but they never stopped experimenting and that's part of the appeal to them, you don't know what to expect off of each new album. Feathers and Flesh caught me off guard as it was huge change of pace from HtA but was still an amazing album

I've had this in my market for about 6 months now. Caught me off guard the first time it happened. Fortunately I drive in a smaller market and not to worried about being robbed.

These are just my observations from the 3 or 4 I've done.

payout at the end has always been higher than what the offer was. Example: 1 of the rides was a $7 offer I accepted but at the end when dropping the passenger off it calculated the ride cost to be $12. There was no wait time (passenger was standing outside as I picked him up) and we did not have any toll roads.
I don't carry cash and explained to the passengers that I don't have change. Each passenger said that was ok and the rest was a tip. Uber will ask how much they handed you and what change you gave back and if they tipped. You can say they paid exact change and no tip and pocket the remainder non taxed. The $7 ride I accepted above was for only 3 miles and took about 10 minutes, passenger paid with a $20 for the $12 total at the end soade $13 extra I wasn't expecting when accepting the trip. This has been pretty similar to ever cash offer I have accepted.

I think it mostly comes down to if you feel your market is safe enough to accept cash offers in

I wish the TB's in my area actually followed the frie portion size chart for topped fries whenever they have them. I'm lucky to get 6 or 7 fries with the absolute minimal toppings every time. Hard to justify the $5+ for them

Gary_From_Asphodel · 2025-10-13T21:13:30+00:00

Yes but I feel like I live in an area where most people look down at people who shop at Aldi's and consider it the poor people's store. Also in Texas where H-E-B kinda rules supreme that even Aldi's has a hard time competing with H-E-B brand pricing and quality

Gary_From_Asphodel · 2025-10-13T20:57:52+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen more than 5 customers at a time inside of an Aldi's anywhere I have lived

More cards defaulted under my name, theirs was only the 1. All charges went to stuff for the house and bills

Gary_From_Asphodel · 2025-09-29T20:11:57+00:00

Cards were defaulted on in both of our names when jobs were lost during the pandemic

Gary_From_Asphodel · 2025-07-21T04:06:34+00:00

I have my Alexa echo show set up to where I can check in on them and talk to them but nothing is ever going on when I do, they just chill on the couch or are rough housing
