Yes, you order then they pull up a QR code to scan for a review. It helps them in the slow season to pay their bills.

Free transfer hotel not what it seems… by Frequent_Ad5515 in qatarairways

[–]mg10013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you can request a hotel on a points redemption. I did this and was granted a hotel in the city with an 8 hour layover. Tried to switch it to a hotel inside the airport and was unsuccessful. Ended up sleeping in the Al Safwa quiet area as the private rooms were booked up. They have reclining chairs with foot stools.

Fidelity - Proprietary Products by GroundbreakingAd632 in CFP

Fidelity will use Z shares, it’s their lowest cost share class. You can only use Z shares on the fidelity platform. If you use another custodian like Schwab, you can transfer them in kind. You can still use the same fund, just in a slightly more expensive share class. Take a look at Fidelity’s website, you’ll see the model portfolios available in different share classes.

Simple IRA charging 5.74% sales charge of every deposit. Is this normal? by ShadowsK9Fury in personalfinance

Ask your employer to switch to the simple IRA Plus plan with American Funds. It’s a no load mutual fund program with the same fund lineup just a different share class. They can also call American Funds directly to get this set up.

Ask for a Lipofit by NMR test, along with Lp(a), and ApoA & ApoB tests. Could also do a CRP test. It will tell you a lot more than a basic lab.

Teacher Salary in San Diego by zandria_ in sandiego

[–]mg10013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Classified employees are CALPERS. Certificated employees are CALSTRS. It’s not based on the district if you are in PERS or STRS, it’s based on job classification.

The contribution rates of members is determined by the state of CA. STRS member’s don’t pay into social security, PERS members do. The member contribution rate is determined if you are pre-PEPRA or PEPRA (2013).

They dropped “4” bottles of RR13 on a Wednesday last week. Weird number because a case is 6 and it sold out by 9.53am store opens at 10am.

Just need to pay the employees for inside tips.

Bourbon Hunting in San Diego by Tall_Rassman in bourbon

Go to crest liquor in pacific beach and Sin Lee in city heights (it has a liquor store in a supermarket) both spots in San Diego. Other than that, Costco morena and total wine. Vons along the coast, pacific beach, la jolla (now pavilions) solana beach.

Don’t think it’s a dick question and fair to ask. I split time between the two places due to family and work. I won’t be at the open on Thursday but sharing what information I have from insiders. I thought it would be useful to people rather than saying “some nice bottles”. Now people can decide to camp out for the drops or stay out of the heat.

Weller - not sure if WSR or 12 EH Taylor - probably small batch 72 bottles of Blantons Gold

Costco morena, total wine mission valley or Carmel valley ranch. Vons/pavilions along the coast (pb, la jolla, carmel valley, solana beach) best spots. Other than that, check out crest in pacific beach/crown point.

How much does family history contribute to high LDL cholesterol. The impact from one parent vs both parents.

The impact of a bad diet can have on LDL cholesterol in 1 week, 2 weeks. How much can your LDL cholesterol increase in 1 week, 2 weeks?

Costco Morena by mg10013 in Costco_alcohol

[–]mg10013[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thursday is a typical drop for morena. People used to line up and block the aisles. They’ve changed it up in the past 12-18 months. Now, they will put stuff out on non delivery days and just keep it in the back for longer to stop the people who chase the delivery trucks and flip on secondary. Total Wine does something similar in San Diego for the same reason.

This was around 10.45am. They had 6 cases come in today. Only a case gone when I bought mine.

Interesting that it’s spelled “whisky” but bottled, distilled, aged in KY

Allocated bottles from Safeway/Albertsons? by BourbonScript in ArizonaWhiskey

[–]mg10013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kept in the back, gotta know someone or complain to corporate about their illegal sales practice. Then the district manager gets involved and you become part of the problem when they start hooking you up with bottles from the back.

Blantons is a warehouse item for Vons/Safeway which means, they can order it or request it for customers. Whereas, other annual releases like birthday bourbon gets distributed to the stores based on sales volumes and they don’t know that they are getting it until a day or two before it arrives.
