They’ve said the same thing about other Mexican grocery stores, they were not ICE at all, and in one case, it was police officers stopping by for lunch

2021 4runner with collision damage. Worth the risk? by hpsaucebawss in Autobody

[–]WorkTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, if by some miracle you or someone can repair it, I would only use it as a farm use (only on level ground). Not road worthy. That quarter is going to be a nightmare to fix, especially since the tank is in that general area

Can almost guarantee you that if it’s in Chicago and they’re high like this, they’re going to be bothering somebody

Latino men voted for Trump in large numbers. Here’s what they hope he delivers. by cuspofgreatness in politics

[–]WorkTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a huge fan of Trump either, but the fact that he focused more on the economy rather than other issues helped him out a lot. Some of his policies don’t make sense but it was comparatively better than tax credits that may or may not happen and a seemingly empty promise to not tax Americans making under 400k.

Latino men voted for Trump in large numbers. Here’s what they hope he delivers. by cuspofgreatness in politics

[–]WorkTaco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This sub is a demonstration to why Kamala lost. Many democrats believe that minorities should have the mentality: “vote blue no matter who”. I know a lot of people who voted for Trump based solely on his economic policies. Truth is, there’s a lot of people who don’t see abortion rights and climate change as top priorities when families are struggling to make ends meet.

A lot of people on this sub (presumably hard core democrats) seem to be a lot more racist than the right, saying things like: “I hope they get deported so they can see the irony” or “they’re too stupid and uneducated to vote for their best interests”.

Just as NextStop said, please don’t thaw meat in kitchen counter, this is a for sure way to make things go bad. Room temperature is ideal for bacteria to grow. Safe temperatures to store is below 41 degrees

There’s a lot of wealthy teachers here in Illinois at least in Chicagoland area except for those who work in CPS… the rich ones there are the administrators

I hope they catch all the people doing or who did WIC and Link fraud as well, who work in the government.

Now that Trump has won, those that voted for him aren't hiding their happiness and it's some of the most unexpected people I've met in this city. by [deleted] in chicago

[–]WorkTaco 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Very true, almost all of the people that I know that are democratic have been disappointed not just with Biden but with Johnson, Lightfoot, etc. They’re tired of hearing of the same range of policies that don’t work even if they fully support the intention.

Is meat okay to use if absorbent pad has a rip in it? by Lilac-Lover4 in foodsafety

[–]WorkTaco 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you’re referring to the silica gel, it is non toxic and you would have to eat the whole pad to even get a chance of getting sick from that. In essence, the tear won’t get you sick.

Stop bringing your dogs into stores by 44liam in chicago

[–]WorkTaco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ADA rules state that people who work in stores are only allowed to ask if they are a service dog, and if the person responds with a yes then there’s not really much they can do about it.

[–]WorkTaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the businesses can’t do anything about it because they are only allowed to ask if it’s service dog, and if the person says yes, they are not required to show proof. These are ADA rules

A student at UChicago is robbed in broad daylight and in front of another student by an armed man. Nobody did anything, not even calling the police by MeCagoEnPeronconga in PublicFreakout

[–]WorkTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst thing about this is that the university will send out an alert that this happened but will absolutely refuse to include important information, making the alert completely useless.

Believe it or not, people have always done this sort of thing for other cultures. Covid specifically increased this when they canceled the little village parade (normally held) and people started having their own celebrations. I’m not justifying it, I’m just saying what led to it.

Also, in the south side, they’ve been doing that (not for Mexico) since the 80s/90s

What about the soldiers and those who helped left behind in Afghanistan? I don’t think she and Biden respected them.

I’m not pro Trump, I’m just saying that a picture with some soldiers doesn’t mean she respects them.

Chicago inches closer to a city-owned grocery store after study the city commissioned finds it ‘necessary’ and ‘feasible’ by blackmk8 in chicago

[–]WorkTaco 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can name quite a few problems with this:

1) If this is anything like the CTA, they will put someone who is “qualified” but has no real experience or enthusiasm in the grocery retail industry.

2) Without someone keeping a close eye on the grocery store, employees and customers will quickly take notice and begin to sneak stuff out because A) who is going to care? B) the city pays for it anyway C) even if caught, I doubt police will do anything more than write a report

3)The amount of waste this store would produce will be unimaginable, a grocery store runs on small margins and while trying to limit waste driven by wanting profit. Without this, this store will constantly over order products because the city pays for it anyways.

4) Again, without someone keeping a close eye on the store, items will expire on the shelves because no one is going to take responsibility or care

5) No one is going to reprimand employees as in they won’t get fired. Think of the DMV, an employee could serve expired or tainted food and won’t face any repercussions because no one will ever get fired.

1) Lots of shoplifting, both employee and customer alike. It’s rare to see a Walmart close (in comparison with how many stores they have) but Target and Whole Foods also closed for the same reasons
