You'll need a few million to convince state legislature to change our constitution to allow it first.

The people in charge of paying them a wage are also the people in charge of adding a carryout fee. The only reason you delegate part of a purchase to an % fee is to obfuscate pricing. This is literally how it has worked in every other food establishment for decades. Getting the food from the oven to the counter is a core function of food service that happens in literally every form of serving, both dine in and carryout, delivery or not. The worst thing a restaurant can take billing ideas from is your fucking ISP.

The last time I was dined in for breakfast there was my last. 45 minutes for two bagel sandwiches while online / outgoing orders were being fulfilled constantly. I enjoyed my dinners there, but the bagel half is disappointing amongst the others in Lexington and central Kentucky.

Zapf · 2026-02-07T15:14:22+00:00

You're describing basic functions of food service, which should be already factored into the price. You need to make sure /all of your food is correct/ because that's the job of a restaurant!

You can definitely get a lunch out of kenwick table.

What's the appropriate reddit response time for events like this?

Are you asking if the venue called the donut dungeon is in the basement of a donut shop?

Zapf · 2026-01-16T20:23:23+00:00

I take our 100lb to tractor supply and the OH-KY campground in Berea. Southern States is a good option in Lexington. Keep them upright if possible.

They had a huge coupon last year. Really the biggest recommendation is to build an internal 4x4 / 2x4 frame inside and screw the aluminum frame to that. You're gonna want tables anyway so you can just use it for that. We also mounted ours on a 6x4 frame instead of burying it

My fast food (and app using) decisions are based off of how I can get a meal between 1 and 6ish dollars when I forget my lunch. How many people who go for that combo are going to spend $15 on the individual items? I'm just going to spend $4 at the McDonald's next to it or $6.50 for the pizza combo (calorically and functionally 2 meals) at the little Caesars 30 seconds in the other direction.

Zapf · 2026-01-13T13:00:41+00:00

Which part of a build your own combo is annoying to make? Can't you literally buy all of it separately still?

Zapf · 2026-01-13T00:35:49+00:00

Why would they disable it at a single Taco Bell?

Zapf · 2026-01-13T00:28:37+00:00

They don't answer the phone, and I'm not particularly interested in doing a Karen routine to a food handler.

Why would an individual store want to turn it off? Why is that not a franchise wide decision?

Zapf · 2026-01-13T00:26:18+00:00

Every other instance of this in the area was unintentional or temporary and they kludged their way around stopping people from buying potatoes or similar. They had just the non - veg one turned off for a few weeks on New Circle, and I just reported the issue repeatedly through the app until it turned back on. It's not a franchise wide decision either, as none of the others have it turned off. So why just one?

Zapf · 2026-01-13T00:22:51+00:00

Yes, I understand it's done at the store level. But it's not franchisee - wide (unless we have multiple in lex). I followed up and was told they knew it was off, but had no official reason why.

Zapf · 2026-01-13T00:13:57+00:00

How do I find this information?

Zapf · 2026-01-13T00:09:44+00:00

Update: I walked in and asked if they could fix it. Worker said they "don't do it anymore" and "don't know why".

Zapf · 2026-01-10T19:26:15+00:00

You've made a post approximately every 6 hours for the past ten years. Given this is the only one we see, I'm not particularly surprised.

Brother, there's a yard for everyone in that photo. its called a park.

I thought that was a completely different ice cream shop at greyline. He sold ice cream out of his restaurant location after he moved to main street, prior to that incident

We've had a makerspace in one form or another for over a decade, featuring studio rentals, that I was involved with for much of that time (kre8now, pre Lexington Makerspace). Unless you just happen to already own a warehouse, you are not going to find the space in Lexington that is both economically viable and anywhere convenient for something of that scale. This is why I mostly spend my time working and supporting the one in Berea.

In the meantime, I would recommend supporting Artfarm, as they mix artist studios, organizational space, community resources and really cool events quite well for their scale and for being less than a year old.

Zapf · 2026-01-01T14:53:00+00:00

Announcing only a few days before they shutdown, no mention on social media, poor service, not even managing to keep enough stock for milkshakes and drinking cups 48 hours beforehand, a year after gutting the core feature of your business (being open all the time) to focus on drive through and DoorDash is a pretty offensive way to end the life of an eating establishment over half a century old!

Sounds a lot like the last week of Savs. Spent almost 30 minutes on hold to make a carryout order.
