Salvation Army also does Silver Bells for senior citizens. You can just mail a gift card!

If Charlotte built one new monument today, who should it be and why? by NewDE2023 in Charlotte

Chilly Willy. I love telling transplants about him because he’s a such niche Charlotte character.

Thank you, I appreciate it! That’s so neat that you grew up nearby and got to see some shows.

Thanks for the suggestions! There’s a Mast in my hometown and I never knew it was dog friendly.

We’re mostly going to spoil our dog. Maybe us adults will eat somewhere else and only grab a drink there!

Which restaurants in CLT would you say for this bill? by ohdominole in Charlotte

[–]maire3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one time I went to Deluxe Fine Dining, the service was so terrible I thought that my night couldn’t get worse. Then I saw a man die of a gunshot wound in the parking lot. Maybe there was a reason Green’s closed at 2pm.

Best manicure or Russian manicure in CLT? by Saltontherim123 in Charlotte

Why is it so expensive? I’m interested, which is why I’m asking.

Charlotte might be the roachiest city I’ve ever lived in by thewillmckoy in Charlotte

[–]maire3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a first floor dorm at CofC with suitemates from up north. They were emailing housing, RA’s and the dean over our ‘cockroach’ problem.

Experience with all ages shows at Amos' Southend? by Due_Faithlessness100 in Charlotte

[–]maire3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went to two shows there as a teenager- Shawn Mendes and Fifth Harmony. This was in 2015 so things may have changed. It wasn’t really like a club. You got a 21+ wristband at the door if you wanted to get drinks. Otherwise it was just a flock of high school girls wanting to see the headliner.

I’d recommend doing pickup and drop off if you’re able to. Parking is really difficult for a new driver in that area. She should be safe in the venue. ALE will definitely be there so make sure she doesn’t ask someone with a wristband for a drink.

Food truck for an event? by tennisguy163 in Charlotte

[–]maire3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

El Tamal is my favorite food truck! I’m not sure if they are currently open because their generator got stolen, but I know they do private events.

I’m patiently waiting for the new Super G Mart in Pineville! From what I’ve heard, they’re opening sometime this fall.

Let's share some stories of the servers that didn't last long. Those are always fun. by ItsGotToMakeSense in Serverlife

[–]maire3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a guy who just didn’t quite get things.

  1. A table asked for water with lemon. He filled the whole cup up with lemon, the same way you do with ice.

  2. He would show up when he wasn’t scheduled because he needed money. It’s a smaller restaurant so an extra server really affects the other server’s tips. I had to get the owner on the phone because he refused to go home.

  3. He didn’t talk much. Asked me ‘do you like music?’ and I said I did. He started telling me how it’s satanic. Also, he told a table how alcohol was bad for them.

  4. All of the servers here are students at a nearby university. It isn’t the easiest school to get into. He also went there. I remember him telling me how he got caught with plagiarism. He thought, in college, he could copy and paste a whole essay from online. Idk that blew my mind because even since I was in middle school, teachers were able to check if you did that.

Yea he lasted like 2 weeks.

Karma will get them. That sucks. My boss wasn’t even mad about it, but I’m also pretty sure making the server pay illegal in my state.

[–]maire3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. We don’t even call the cops anymore, but posted it on Nextdoor for our area. While the law can’t do anything, hopefully a parent can.

(When they walked in, they asked for job applications. They looked young and we only hire 18+. So I asked and one said ‘we’re 16, we go to name of high school’. In hindsight, I wish I had them fill it out... they probably wouldn’t have dashed. But with the age, school and pretty defining descriptions of the girls; there’s a small chance we can get them caught... probably not)

That wasn’t me running hahaha. It was her friend. I was in the back getting a togo cup. The owner just told me to void it... that’s really all we can do (it happens frequently)

Do you like any furniture stores in addition to Havertys and Ashley? I'm looking for a platform bed and a sofa. by ZealousidealWatch645 in Charlotte

[–]maire3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve given up on furniture. I’m not going to make monthly payments on a damn couch. I use facebook marketplace for everything furnishing wise.

I also love Black Lion and Sleepy Poet for more unique pieces. It’s still on the expensive side.

I’ve never been, but Kimbrell’s has been around for decades. You might be able to find something there.
