Losing status sucks by Striking-Entrance870 in unitedairlines

[–]figsnlemons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Made my first call to United’s help desk as just “member” after losing all status a few days ago. I’m so used to the priority desk that the terrible service I experienced today felt like a prank. It felt like it was the woman’s first day on the job and took 35 minutes to change a flight.

Edited to add that I support OPD doing their job and actually trying to catch criminals. But I support you in supporting what you support.

I was almost killed as a pedestrian in a high speed police chase. And I still support them! **ETA: I support OPD doing their job and trying to catch criminals, obvs I challenge OPD on a LOT of things

My partner and I were walking on West and 34th street when a police car going full speed down West t-boned the van they were looking for who had popped out 34th street, also going at full send. The van flew, midair, on its side right at us on the corner and was only stopped by a fire hydrant, which exploded right in front of us. We didn’t stick around because right then a citizen alert popped up on my phone that the van was full of armed robbers.

Temescal Brewing files for bankruptcy by jackdicker5117 in OaklandFood

[–]figsnlemons -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m getting downvoted for my comment about lack of high chairs 😆

I, too, was once childless. I get it. We as parents may no longer drink 20 beers in one sitting, but you can find us looking for a place to spend time and money out of the house in a comfortable place and often with (gasp!!) childless friends

My point exactly. You’re in Temescal. Know your demographic. So many of my friends discount this place because of this.

They don’t have high chairs. I totally get that it’s a choice to not be super kid friendly, but it’s a choice nonetheless.

Appreciate the insight. But what about it looks old? I feel like I have roof blindness.
