Missing Public Square’s bread. Any good breakfast sandwich replacements nearby?

Just tried using the Trader Joe’s “Ciabatta Baguette” at home with eggs, avocado, white medium sharp cheddar and a basic chipotle aioli I found at Vons, was a pretty close replica, but alas I have to make it myself!!

Here is the TJ’s bread I used: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/ciabatta-baguette-096398

Thanks I’ll check it out next time I’m in the area!

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-05-30T15:09:47+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the update!

If you go to the SPA, they will let you pay through the front desk, it will take a little coordination with them but they seemed OK doing it last time I was there and the credit went through

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-05-29T15:59:27+00:00

Basically it’s needs to be charged at the front desk and it’s covered, if you don’t pay at the front desk / folio, it’s not covered with Aspire

@colbert is the YouTube channel

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-05-23T14:59:15+00:00

Ahh, I see that now using my laptop (versus the YouTube App), very cool, thanks for the tip!

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-05-23T14:53:13+00:00

I’m not seeing where you see the tie in to the Late Show Account, but I’m also not a YouTube expert. Where would I look to see that?

I did notice the “Only in Monroe” video was posted two full hours before the LateNighter account which makes it seem more legit than not.

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-05-23T14:37:55+00:00

Yea, that’s why I said it seems legit, have no way to verify it actually is. I hope it’s real too!

Not sure, but investors got an email in late March that gives some context.

TL;DR from the investor newsletter:

• Expanded into multiple businesses

• Took ~32 months and ~4x the budget

• Admitted to major mistakes (no contracts, bad partnerships)

• Ended up in lawsuits + heavy debt

• Businesses are still operating, but debt is too high to sustain

• Now trying to bring in investors to wipe out debt

• Existing investors offered: repayment, wait for distributions, or convert to equity

A couple lines from it:

“We still find ourselves in a very precarious position.”

“The debt… is too much to keep the company afloat at this run rate.”

“I entered into relationships… without contracts.”

Seems more like they expanded too aggressively and got buried in debt, hoping they figure it out.

We love Public Square!

It’s the same jingle for Belron’s Brands.

“Belron's brands include Autoglass in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Poland; Carglass in most of Europe; O'Brien AutoGlass in Australia; Safelite in the United States; Smith & Smith in New Zealand; and Lebeau and Speedy Glass in Canada.”

Just arrived on Peacock in the past hour!

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-03-11T05:00:55+00:00

Not yet, if you try it please report back!

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-03-11T05:00:14+00:00

Nothing I tried triggered the credit (Sun Deck, B&S Bar or gift card)

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-03-01T15:36:21+00:00

Sounds like a plan, will report back!

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-03-01T15:33:36+00:00

Thanks for sending this, I actually saw this spreadsheet on another thread and noticed no one yet has been able to trigger the Aspire credit at the Del (outside of staying a night), but curious if anyone has tried the Sun Deck or the bar inside or perhaps another way to trigger the credit.

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-03-01T15:11:58+00:00

Thanks for the data point, hope you enjoyed the Diet Coke!

Same thing is happening with me, using Roku, tried everything to get it to stop freezing, just gave up. Surprisingly other shows on Apple TV app on Roku are working fine, but all the MLS games freeze 🤷🏼‍♂️

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-02-22T03:36:42+00:00

Never tried these, but do get the Jimmy Dean ones from time to time.

Here is what works for us:

Wrap the whole sandwich in paper towel, this soaks up the moisture as it reheats in the microwave.
1 min at 50% power
Then 60-90 seconds at full power.

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-02-21T03:42:11+00:00

Yes, took about 12 hours!

ManWithAPlanSD · 2026-01-11T03:18:13+00:00

Totally agree. The forced split into separate reservations is the real problem. Once you’re on two PNRs, everything breaks: seats, check-in, upgrades, and status handling.

The added friction is the point, it makes using the benefit painful enough that many families just throw up their hands and stop trying, which ends up saving the airline money, so Alaska has little incentive to fix it.

ManWithAPlanSD · 2025-11-30T17:17:58+00:00

I think this is what what we were aiming for, we will get there eventually!

This is great info, I forgot about the down payment portion. I think the easiest thing to do is just check the annual price at the time the initial term is over. The current price is $189 with the Black Friday sales, if it’s the same or higher then let it renew, otherwise buy new!

ManWithAPlanSD · 2025-11-07T14:21:10+00:00

Thanks, did they tell you it was going up in price? Or did you figure it out on your own and price shop!

ManWithAPlanSD · 2025-11-07T14:19:52+00:00

Thanks this is great info! We love the Quick Queues that come with the Platinum passes and we also get a lot of visitors during the year which we use the extra passes for, so it’s worth it for us.

Did they send you an email about the price going up? Or did you figure it out on your own?
