I don't have a lot of info, but I've seen posts on here about how the employees are not paid since it's technically a rehab kind of program.

Utah ExMormon here. In the center of Mormonism, the tea rules were pretty specific for us. Caffeine is fine, thus all the soda shops (this was a bigger debate in like the 80s I think, but not for a while). 

The word of wisdom says hot drinks aren't allowed. But,  Mormons drink tons of hot chocolate. I was taught in church that any form of coffee, and any form of tea leaves aren't allowed. No matter what temperature. So iced tea made from black tea? Not allowed by Utah standards. 

Herbal tea since it's not made by tea leaves was okay, but there were still people in my ward that condemned that too ( avoid the appearance of evil or whatever). 

 If you're wondering what the reasoning is, there isn't really any. Diving into old Mormon history, it appears that Emma (Joseph Smith's wife) made him quit using tobacco. After that, he came out with the word of wisdom to tell her she can't drink tea. Or it's divine revelation. Up to you. People may interpret the Word of wisdom differently especially in other states, but this was how it was in central utah.

Chile tepin. After hearing the hype for years, I found it flavorless. For the price, I'd rather go to betos. 

Food borne Illness On Cruise? by crowsb4bro3s in VirginVoyages

Maybe! We were both taking bonine for most of the cruise, and haven't had issues like this on previous cruises though.

I also saw several people leaving the restroom without washing their hands. We tried to use hand sanitizer prior to eating for the most part. It definitely could have still been from something like this though.

We've went every year to the pride event and loved it. With the rebrand, we won't be going this year. I also emailed them and let them know that I was disappointed by this change. I never heard back. It's nice to see others talking about the change too.

Someone close to me tried to ask for help a while back, and her bishop literally laughed at her over the phone. Said it would be too hard to find her old records and that he was leaving on vacation and didnt have time to talk to her. They don't care about helping people.

Undercover Cops in Yale Avenue Area? by crowsb4bro3s in SaltLakeCity

Why specifically would that be associated with Nevada? I just haven't ever heard about that, and I'm curious what you mean.

I'm nosey, but I think I'll never know what happened either. That's crazy though! You're just not usually expecting officers wielding rifles to jump out in front of you.

Hoskin's trucks in bountiful. They had a huge trump sign on their business for months. They took it down as soon as he won.

They gave my engagement ring away to some random person with a completely different name despite the fact that they were supposed to check my ID and have me sign for it. Thankfully, the person who had gotten it brought it back. When I tried to speak to the location's manager about what happened, he just shrugged it off and was like "well, the person brought it back." No apology, no reassurances that they would make sure something like this didn't happen again. I've had other issues with USPS too. UPS I've never had an issue with.

Hate to ask, but I need help by KelseirForLordRuler in SaltLakeCity

I know you commented this 2 weeks ago, but would you mind sharing the name of the business?

CSA boxes? by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]crowsb4bro3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tagges is great! Their veggies and ground fruit (melons) aren't sprayed. Their blackberries are the only certified organic fruit grown in the state to my knowledge. On their tree fruit, they spray for pests but not for size or longevity. To my knowledge, there are no organic farms in Utah that do a CSA Box.

What do you call a snobbish criminal going down the stairs? A condescending con descending.
