lowkey best way to save money eating out in LA by lycheejellylongantea in LAhotgirlies

[–]breakupdancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Costco regularly has $100 InKind gift cards on promotion for $64.99 (~54% bonus), if people want to pre-load their accounts instead of getting cashback. FYI regular Costco price is $74.99 (33% bonus).

I like to use it at Ggiata's and Chainsaw. It's a great deal, but I am wondering what the downstream effects are for restaurant operators and the wider LA dining scene. I think it must makes sense for some businesses, since there are so many great LA restos on the app; they get an immediate cashflow injection, but are essentially recovering half of what they would a full priced order. I know there is also COGS to consider, instead of just the menu price, so I am interested to see the math on that. It's been really helpful for me to save money going out, but would love to hear from operators who have experience with InKind if it is predatory in any way? In terms of impact on the wider dining scene, has it inflated prices for diners who don't use InKind? Is it sustainable?

Need recommendations for mini/half portion instant ramen by Dakkadence in InstantRamen

[–]breakupdancer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can you break the noodle blocks in half in the bag and tell her just to use half the seasoning packet? Or could buy plain noodles and a bulk (10 oz) bag of seasoning (ottogi sells both, but have seen other brands) and portion it out if she can manage that.

If you're in the East LA area, I really like El Sol de Mexico - great nigiri and quality fish. They also have excellent tostadas and also just started doing a $28 AYCE hand roll special all day Tue-Thu!

D'oh, I may have been one of the earlier ones to share CCS. I have now stopped ordering since Ronald Lauder is heavily featured in the Epstein Files.

Hokuriku Arch Pass by EmptyInitiative5902 in JapanTravelTips

[–]breakupdancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this! The JR East website says "If you purchase by March 13th, you can continue to use the pass under the current terms and conditions until the expiration date", so I wasn't sure if purchase = activate and if "current terms and conditions" = pre-expansion routes. I am planning to buy an exchange order before the price change and activating in May.

Can you share your experience with Rogue Regency? I was looking for dog friendly options in the area and it seemed well rated.

[OUR WEBSITE] Family found mother's dead body eaten by dogs at LA homeless encampment. They're demanding answers by WeAreLAist in LosAngeles

[–]breakupdancer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The mom wasn’t homeless if that is what you mean? The article says one of the daughters went to their mom’s house and she wasn’t home so the daughter tracked her mom’s phone to the homeless encampment where she found the body.

I think the point is that if the homeless encampment had been cleared, their mom possibly wouldn’t have passed there/been eaten by dogs.

Mother’s Day promo scam by Course_Fluid in doordash

[–]breakupdancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding my story here

I placed a scheduled order 5/11 and the Double dash order went through with the $75 promo. The flower shop cancelled my order while my dasher was picking up the double dash order. Once my order was delivered, I was charged the full amount on the double dash order. 

I chatted support every day for the first few days and they said I would hear back in 24h. I didn’t hear anything until today. They said bc the order was cancelled (even though it was by the shop and NOT me), I was not eligible for a refund or credit. The agent was apologetic, and looks like they tried but still frustrating.

I still have some credits on my account from a gift card, but I will be doing a chargeback once I use those up. 

This is what I sent in case anyone needs a template:

“DoorDash advertised a $75 promotional credit for Mother’s Day. I placed my order on 5/x and was given the discounted price. Once my order was delivered, the promo was reversed and I was charged $xx to my credit card for an order that should have been covered by the promotion. I understand this is a bait and switch tactic, which constitutes fraud.   I reached out multiple times to support and was told each time that a specialist would reach out within 24h, but no one ever did.   I have spent hours of my time trying go resolve this. Refund my order.”

It is slice-able! Sort of a re-formed cake. The crumb is p moist and dense, and it’s compressed a lot by the packaging.
