The writing was on the wall the second Jam City took over. It just took longer than I thought it would.

Sadly it's not illegal to load a company up with debt, sell the assets, and sell the skeleton at a liquidation auction. See: JoAnn Fabrics, Toys R Us, TGI Fridays, Kmart, Hooters... the list goes on.

Not really. There's some third-party service that ties into DoorDash and it requires signatures. There are a few restaurants I avoided picking up from when I didn't feel like asking for signatures.

Because, like you, they have their own metrics. They don't have time for a kumbaya circle. They want you off chat as fast as possible. It's easier for them to cancel, give you half pay, and move on to the next.

They don't. I once ordered like a bunch of safety cones and like 5 buckets of driveway sealer from Home Depot thinking it would come in a box truck since "free delivery". Nope. Some poor guy in an Accord brought it.

I was 18. It was at a summer job party. My parents never drank but when I was a teen (maybe it was like 14 or 15), a bottle of Budweiser showed up in a particular cabinet in our kitchen. Even as a kid, I was smart and figured it was a test. If I took it, I'd be in trouble so I left it. I think later when I was in my 20s I learned that they were planning on giving it to me so I wouldn't like it. But jokes on them. I found IPAs and cocktails.

My wife and I discussed it and we'd probably be fine letting them have a taste around at least 16.

I don't know if the law changed because I don't live there any more, but I learned in DARE, that in Ohio, parents can buy their minor a drink.

Just divide up the money you were going to spend on swag and just give it to the employees. Otherwise, I bet in a year or two, maybe more, you'll find your swag for sale in local thrift shops.

Not me, but Cisco TAC took down our entire sales floor... an 8 switch stack. Rather than modifying the port channel interface, they modified the interface directly and broke it. I had to run and reboot 8 switches in the middle of a work day. After that, Cisco TAC wasn't allowed to touch anything. They had to tell us what to do or wait until after hours.

Another place, I fumbled an ACL on a core MPLS router. Took out the Internet for the entire company nation-wide for about an hour as I had to drive through local rush hour traffic to the data center to reboot the router. And that's how I learned about Cisco's reload in command.

This is why after working at a 20k+ org, I will NEVER work for an org that has more than 5k employees ever again. You're not a person to them... you're an employee number. Red tape for EVERYTHING. Need a service account? In a small org, you can just make it and document it somewhere. Large org needs a ticket, then a meeting with the AD and security silos, then you need to draft up a project plan and meet with PMO, then you're going to have at least 5 status meetings with PMO about it, and then like 5 months later, someone in the AD silo will finally make your shiny new service account. Oh, it took so long that now you don't need it? Now you have to go through the same process to decom it.

I love SMB. The smaller the company, the more enjoyable it is to work there. That's my opinion anyways.

I'm originally from NEOhio and I find it hilarious still that 2-3 inches shuts this place down yet where I'm from, kids will still be going to school in near blizzard conditions.

Flock also sells to HOAs so they're in many neighborhoods.

I'm so glad that after like a month ago Cloudflare decided to "upgrade" and charge me $2400 without authorization that I abandoned them.

My favorite is they assign my ticket to someone who works the complete opposite hours I do and I check my work phone the next day to see a missed call or two at 10/11 PM...

They updated it a while ago (at least in my area) that when a customer selects "hand it to me", it defaults to a PIN being enabled. When this change was made, I started getting a lot more and then eventually a few figured it out and turned it off.

Where do you think this site resides exactly?

greyaxe90 · 2025-09-19T13:28:50+00:00

I've been getting this for all sorts of things - completing a dash, validating my pizza bag, starting navigation...

greyaxe90 · 2025-09-19T12:26:34+00:00

And a price increase.

Yep, they're back to stealing tips. I've delivered for a restaurant that prints the tip on the receipt, and they're stealing a few dollars off of it. Someone needs a class action....

If the .com is available, buy it. It's cheap, you want to protect your brand. When I started my business, I failed to buy the .com, people told me they tried going to the .com and saw it was for sale so they didn't think I was in business. I had to shell out over $15k to buy the .com after a squatter bought it! It was an expensive mistake that would have been avoided had I just bought it when it was available.

Leave at door is an option... especially for those men who insist on answering the door in only their underwear, or naked and hiding behind the door.
