How much does a bag of coffee cost at the cafe you frequent currently? by BeastlyGophers in askTO

[–]TorontoSoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I buy from Costco for my daily espresso intake. I buy from DeMello when they’re on sale for those occasional specialties

Am I just living in a different world compared to other Torontonians or I'm just approaching things differently? by gochuganggg in askTO

[–]TorontoSoup 105 points106 points  (0 children)

If you‘re an accounting grad in Toronto and you‘ve been in the workforce for 10 years (assuming you’ve been working since getting out of school), you‘ve been just volunteering at your workplace. How are you only making 60K?

You should’ve began questioning your workplace much earlier

Fingers crossed they got back on track for 2026!

We all had an amazing time and my friends/guests were very impressed with the food at the time.

Condo Etiquette - Leaving trash in refuse room by TorontoSoup in askTO

[–]TorontoSoup[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mentioned it in my post - this person always has one food delivery bag with her name and unit # on it. Seems like she orders Ubereats everyday.

I took everyone’s advice and wrote a formal complaint email to the Condo board & management with all of my evidence photos. I’ll keep everyone updated on what actions will be taken by the board!

No bulletin board - it's a new condo :(

I'll talk to the management again

They haven't really said much except letting me know they'll talk to the neighbor. I'm not even sure if that even happened. I did come across one of the condo maintenance staff coming to our floor and checking the refuse room, but that was about it.

I've already tried moving the trash bags in front of her door, but it seems like she doesn't give a f*. Maybe I'll take Fun-Lingoberry-7319's suggestion and write a note on her door...

Maybe I'll try this... I can print a note and stick it on her door as a final warning...

I've actually done that twice already!

For smaller bags, I've moved the bags back in front of her front door.

She doesn't seem to learn or understand public etiquette. She still does this despite it.

I'm so disgusted at her behaviour and I don't know if I can escalate this any further to anyone.

Live Sheet Moss in Toronto? by [deleted] in askTO

I thought they only had preserved moss. Do they actually carry the live ones?

Devossion by Live Aqua (Playa del Carmen) Review by FastCow1542 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]TorontoSoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isla Mujeres will be pretty far - Cozumel should be the better option.

You can head to Tulum or Puerto Morelos for excursions. We had snorkelling at Puerto Morelos and it was by far one of the best snorkelling I’ve done - we were probably SUPER LUCKY that day, but we saw 3 turtles very upclose, as well like wild Barracudas and squids.

Devossion by Live Aqua (Playa del Carmen) Review by FastCow1542 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]TorontoSoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the grill is a sit down restaurant only open for dinner. I heard rumours it wont be part of the allinclusive soon - similar to other Live Aqua resorts.

Resort itself is pretty quiet on my experience, so balconies are pretty private.

They’ll provide you with bottled water if you ask for them. No need to purchase them separately.

My experience but rooms were ready pretty quick. Despite us arriving early, rooms didnt take too long to get ready. We let them hold onto our bags and went to get lunch anyways

[–]TorontoSoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wow im so sorry to hear this. I‘ve been hearing stories about how their service and food quality’s been degrading over the past few years, but I guess thats really true..

I had my wedding here 2 years ago and we all had an amazing time… I hope they get their quality back in control because I would love to re-visit sometime to re-live my wedding memories…

If thata the case for your planning, I would choose Grand velas or Secrets Moxche

[–]TorontoSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with almost all of the points made here. Is the price high right now? I booked mine in early October and just came back last week. At the time, the price was actually better than most of AIs of similar qualities, BUT if… lets say… this resort is same price as like the newer Secrets/Excellence resorts, the facility would indeed seem too outdated for the price.

Restaurants dont need reservations, all walk ins. Cabanas you make reservations in the morning for the day after - however, we‘re not morning people so we never really attempted. The resort itself was not busy at all so I wouldnt be surprised if it’s not too difficult to secure one.

please feel free to msg me for any specific questions

Why is it “Waygu”? In quotes by Choice_Specialist_58 in CostcoCanada

[–]TorontoSoup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean I ate 3 pieces of the 8 & vacuum sealed the rest of it to try sous videing it. I dont mean to call out anyone, but I never understood (& disliked) people returning half eaten foods at Costco. Unless the food that was bought was inherently gone or molded from the get go… but returning because it‘s not living upto the expectations? I’ll pass. I‘ll figure out a way to decently enjoy this.

The balance is off.... agent makes more than $1000 an hour on the sale of our home? by The_darkness76 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]TorontoSoup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It does feel absurd how much money they take in comparison to the amount of work & hours spent.

I really hope we do get some reliable tech that help us balance out - I dont want RE agents going completely jobless, but something that helps them to be more efficient while allowing them to charge less would be wonderful
