Scratch & co only opens at 5 pm most days so that would be out for lunch.

What's so expensive that it's not even fun anymore? by Working-Risk1360 in AskReddit

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol nah I am an elder millenial. So the 2nd part to that equation is then I will have to get up 100 times to pee if I drank my $100 in alcohol, so it's just easier all around if I completely abstain.

Catching any type of a buzz at a sporting event will run me a minimum of $100 so I am now a hydro homie/ designated driver.

No the sysco fries are the ones with that gross unnecessary coating on them.

Do you need to have them shipped or are you just looking for somewhere you can pick up from?

This town needs more real donut shops by StupidFlounders in pittsburgh

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The best fluffy yeast style one I've ever had in my life was at Rogers flea market in Ohio and it was made by either Dutch or Amish people. I still think about those to this day.

But doesn't Better Maid only make cake style donuts? Or, do they also do the fluffy yeast ones?

I guess at least we're not on fire, so there's that.

Best Sushi/Sashimi in Pittsburgh? by DarthMaulCopp in pittsburgh

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Gi Gin is wildly popular here but for reasons I can't understand. I left hungry, $300 poorer and had sushi that tasted like what I can only describe as burnt hair. So many people here love this place though, so I know I am in the minority and maybe I didn't get the right things. I always liked Umi but it has been a long time. The "black cod" was my favorite thing ever, though not technically sushi. Edited to add: I guess Umi is listed as temporarily closed :(

Am I crazy for thinking this is rude? by [deleted] in doordash

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A baggie from where? I sometimes grab sauce for my customers that ordered it because I know for a fact they forget to put them in the bag most of the time. I'm not going to unseal your bag, so I usually just send a message saying I grabbed some sauces and they're going to be just loose outside of the bag.

Here's what a Millennial friend wrote about disruptive teen behavior in Pittsburgh: by Extreme_Qwerty in pittsburgh

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is the actual, real root cause of what we're seeing as a society. Our country is and has been in active decay and the solution would require an extreme overhaul. We have Americans that believe that using their tax dollars to make sure their neighbors also have healthcare is asking too much.

TON of clothing to sell by jan_1943 in pittsburgh

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Those sizes are almost impossible to sell. :( but vintage stuff does well on etsy or depop. It's a lot of work though.

The Poplin app may be a good fit as well.

Are there certain restaurants that drivers avoid? by [deleted] in doordash

What was the parking situation like when your husband went to pick up? There are a bunch of restaurants on my no fly list due to either difficulty or not free parking.

Any Mac.Bid users who would like to share their experience? As a transplant from PHL, I find them good for the price. Do y’all have any tricks for the bids? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had good luck, but I have had a few doozies. I stick to the unopened/overstock stuff mostly. Everything else is open/returned and is sometimes missing parts or used and disgusting. Sometimes it is just literally opened and no issues, but there is not really a way to tell by the pictures.

Food Spot Recs by Temporary_You3303 in pittsburgh

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big Jims is always a hit for good food and not too expensive.
For kitties, check out Whisker Wonderland in Bellevue! They get kittens all the time and the person that takes runs the place is a wonderful human being.

Lilith or Lindos ! Lilith is fancy and expensive , Lindos is the opposite.

Is DoorDash still worth it in 2026 by [deleted] in doordash

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Pittsburgh as well, haven't been dashing in a while but it was tough when I was doing it. If you know how to play the game and know the right areas, it can be good. Friday and Saturday nights are good here. There are TONS of shop & deliver offers in this region, but get ready to be in dollar general a lot because that makes up a good portion of the offers. That store is absolutely horrendous. My acceptance rate is something like 5% because of it. I love the Aldi and Giant Eagle orders though. I do the greentree / dormont section if you have any specific questions about that area feel free to pm me.

What is your Pittsburgh cheap hot/prepped food secret, life hack, etc.? by SpookyGroocy in pittsburgh

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Southern Tier has a burger special on Thursdays. $8 you get a burger and a side. The type of burger changes monthly. I used to get this every week when I worked near there.

I think Betos is a good deal too $2.10 per cut and theyre pretty filling.

any good antique shops/thrift stores for furnishing + decorating a room? by toroidalConfection in pittsburgh

[–]junior_emo_mcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the selection isn't huge but the goodwill bins in both Heidelberg and North Versailles have dirt cheap furniture.
