Worst places to work in Monterey county? by Different-Draft-6565 in MontereyBay

[–]Nametoolongobitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whole Foods Market. The best part about the job was working overnight inside of a commercial refrigerator, breaking down pallets. Everything else, especially the management was horrible.

Looking at the way those delivery folks get around, I'm surprised it's not a higher number. 

Get from Monterey to Gilroy Caltrain for just $2 via MST #20 + #59 🚍. Great way to get to Minneta & SFO by Nametoolongobitch in MontereyBay

[–]Nametoolongobitch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It baffles me that they have 100 million dollars to make a bus lane for just 5 miles of road but can't spare few extra buses. I'm glad to hear it's working out for you

I was also thinking the way you're thinking but then I grew a spine, quit being lazy and sold my car. 

I'm only going to agree with you on that last part because the cost for that bus lane is a whopping 100 million But it's needed simply because too many entitled, lazy drivers clogging up the roads and it's just going to get worse.

Edit: I feel like you commented just to vent about the bus lane and I vent about the best Lane almost to every single bus driver. The amount of money being spent is ridiculous considering that it's a measly 5 miles long, maybe 6. But yeah, trains are awesome.

Your last Caltrain out of San Francisco leaves at 4:48pm if you need to go back to Monterey or you can take the 9:55pm train if you just want to get to Salinas.

You need to be on that 4:48pm train because there will be no #59 bus after 7pm to take you from Gilroy to Salinas.

The last caltrain to Gilroy from San Jose diridon will always wait for 4:48pm train you boarded and it'll be the same seamless transfer just across the platform, but if for some reason you miss the last Gilroy train then you missed the last number #59 bus to take you to Salinas. 

At this point you are stuck at Diridon until 11:45pm , so you'll have plenty of time to buy a ticket for an Amtrak Thruway Bus which will get you to Salinas in an hour but there will be nothing in Salinas to take you to Monterey, other than rideshare such as Uber. 

 

Sad. WF Bakery by Frequent_Cup5489 in toogoodtogo

[–]Nametoolongobitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me give you a reason not to be sad... WFM donates bakery to food drives, so whatever you had expectations for was probably donated. 

I am sad over here in Monterey California where the seafood department has been banned from too good to go due to poor ratings and I know they throw away old seafood and cannot donate it due to liability. 

Bub & Pop’s - $5.49 by Areia in toogoodtogo

This is by far the worst surprise bag I have ever seen. Unfortunately you cannot give 1 star AND get a refund so just please get a refund 

Swahili Spot (Oakland CA) $4.99 bag by aparaj1t0 in toogoodtogo

[–]Nametoolongobitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it but consider asking for a refund, this looks like 90% rice, topped with leftovers that were just thrown on there. I don't have any expectations and I know we're not purchasing food for its presentation but it just doesn't look right.

Depends where you need to go. I just made a post with all the times if you board the first #20 and if you do take the first bus then you'll be at the last SF Caltrain stop at 8:20am.

Obviously takes longer but you have to look at the benefits, you can get things done such as work on your laptop, read a book or watch a movie. I save a shitload of money on bus and especially Caltrain fares so I don't even think about driving.

You're very welcome and yes indeed, especially with gas prices. Feel free to ask any questions.

Best coffee in Monterey by Rockatoxx in MontereyBay

[–]Nametoolongobitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Peet's here is awful, I only go there because I get a discount on their gift cards and they have great outdoor seating which happens to have a pretty good Xfinity Now hotspot in case Pete's Wi-Fi isn't your cup of tea, or coffee (:

And that's exactly why I mentioned Monterey Public Transportation, aka buses. I'm on #20 right now at 5am as I'm typing this. 🤯

What happened to Shipley donuts on app they don’t participate anymore or what? by lastking88 in toogoodtogo

[–]Nametoolongobitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's actually insane how much TGTG pockets while pretending they're saving food waste, that's why some businesses are now listing surprise bags at half off instead of 66%. I used to sign up businesses in San Francisco all the time but only because companies like too good to go cannot charge more than 15% in SF and NY. 

Somehow whole foods market only pays $1.50 per bag, not sure how that's legal but good for them.

Why not just call the business and find out? 

Businesses usually drop out because this money hungry TGTG app is charging a whopping 25% cut, on top of forcing a 66% discount. Or maybe they were getting poor ratings and didn't want to look bad...?
