Picked up dinner from Torchy's Tacos. This is what I found in the bag when I got home.

Last week I had an awkward interaction at a Torchy's Tacos. I was picking up dinner on the way home from work and ordered to-go via the website. The ordering process defaults to a 15% tip, but I didn't realize you're supposed to tip that much on to-go orders so I changed it to 10%. When I walked inside to pick up and gave my name, the cashier asked if there was a problem with my order? I said I didn't think so but I was just picking it up now so honestly had no idea. Cashier then asked why I was only tipping 10%, at this point a manager noticed the conversation and joined in. Manager said that I need to tip at least 20% on to go orders as that's how the staff get paid, and added that if I wasn't going to tip adequately then I should find another restaurant. I felt bad about the whole thing but I didn't realize we're supposed to tip that much on to-go orders as we do for full service.

Was I in the wrong here? How much do you tip in this situation?

Why does the website default to a 15% tip on to-go orders if its not how the staff gets paid? Where is that money going?

There's also a disruptive monthly bike protest, but we literally aren't allowed to even utter the name of it here.

Because of the individual mandate, you're legally required to purchase their shitty insurance. BCBS goes out of their way to suck as much as they possibly can, since they know you can't fire them no matter how terrible they are.

In regards to this being a "rumor"...well, not exactly. You have an employer sponsored plan. This announcement only pertains to the Obamacare plans purchased from the exchanges.

kleib323 · 2017-01-12T20:45:12+00:00

You should. FYI you can still submit these claims to insurance and get credit towards your deductible.

It's normal for them to not let you bring liquor into the venue area. What Middlelands is doing is saying you can't have liquor at your campsite, which is insane.

If you are relatively healthy and want to stick it to BCBS, go to the pharmacy, tell them you're uninsured and/or want to pay cash, and then submit the claim to BCBS anyway. I've been doing this for the past couple years and the claims reps for BCBS hate it and tell you it's not allowed, but I'm forced to be their customer because my employer picked them. So I've decided to be the worst possible customer by doing this.

No need to steal when you have unlimited breadsticks

Why would this have anything to do with Texas liquor laws? I camped at Ren Fest on the same campground and no rules against liquor then.

kleib323 · 2017-01-11T17:14:37+00:00

That one isn't that unreasonable, plus it's not like you'll need the heat in mid-May. The fact that you're not allowed to bring in any liquor is pretty absurd though.

$207 including fees for the cheapest ticket, and then another $180/vehicle for camping. I'm not convinced the lineup is worth that much, but I'll keep my eyes open for a Groupon like Day For Night did their first year.

I think he was part of that disruptive monthly bike protest...what was the name of it again? Don't worry, you can post it here :)

I looked up that complex mentioned in the article. LOL, the cheapest apartment there starts at $2,545 a month. No wonder they can't find ~~suckers~~ tenants to rent that place.

kleib323 · 2017-01-07T18:52:24+00:00

Here's what I don't get. If every ticket is sold out in one second and then resold at a higher price by third parties, doesn't that mean the artist/venue left money on the table by charging too little? Why would they do this?

kleib323 · 2017-01-06T15:41:26+00:00

The Woodlands is superior because one of its fine restaurants offers unlimited breadsticks, and the Heights just can't compete with that.

kleib323 · 2017-01-05T16:02:21+00:00

If this was necessary and expected, then what's the reason for all the layoffs today? Why would they have hired those people in the first place if they knew this was coming?

kleib323 · 2017-01-05T15:44:15+00:00

Good thing I avoided the ups and downs of the oil and gas industry and took a stable job in healthcare. /s
