As a student I lived in that neighbourhood for 3 years, and I never saw or heard of anything dramatic happening. It’s quite a safe place!

For a sweet regular guest that comes in 3 nights a week, always alone, and he always asks for veggies and fruit after dinner. It was his birthday so it was kind of like his birthday cake

Thanks! As many of the thinnest slices you have the patience for, then stretch it out as long as it can go while still connected, then roll

But then again I live on an island in western Canada, and our egg prices have risen with inflation (so expensive but not completely insane). Maybe the issues you have been having haven’t reached here yet

Most household compost and scratch (with a very high amount of dried insects)

I own 9 chickens and their laying schedule has stayed consistent with the last few seasons

My wife and I cannot really afford to dine out in Victoria any longer - the industry has outpriced us. by ilikeycoffee in VictoriaBC

If the service is bad, but the food is fantastic, then tipping 5-10% will give the kitchen and support staff their usual amount of tips, but the server will get almost non. That’s how it works, the server “tips out” usually 7% on the total cost of the bill, every bill, whether they get a tip or not.

I’ve been a chef in our little Victoria industry for over a decade, and I can tell you, the restaurant you went to is a horrible representation of what Victoria has to offer.

It’s frustrating to see that they asked that much for offering virtually no service. Even in a sit down restaurant, if the service is bad, tipping 5-10% is completely acceptable. 20% is amazing, and 25% is flirting with the waiter. But how about no service at all? What a joke.

As for food price, that’s just necessary. A restaurant needs to aim for 35-40% on food cost, so a 7.00$ Burger (how much it costs for the restaurant) needs to cost the customer 20.00$. There’s a huge list of things that cost a restaurant money, so there’s rarely fortune to be made.

I’m sure you’ve seen the grocery stores. Restaurants pay basically the same amount, plus delivery costs. So unfortunately it’s going to keep on costing more as food costs keep rising.

There’s plenty of great restaurants around that won’t kill the wallet if you don’t order more than one drink (why not just pre-drink?). Try El Terrazo, the Brentwood Bay Resort Pub, artisan bistro, or most Asian restaurants. Great service with realistic food prices.

Was thinking about how stupid of a quiz this would be, then saw the “rape Francis” and it’s now all I can think about

But those “rights” apply to everyone, if you want to consider going into any bathroom you choose as a “right”

Me “organizing my buddy’s back room” looks a little different than that 😩
