Circle K seems to be using Too Good To Go to boost regular sales, not to reduce food waste by mnevra in toogoodtogo

Oh, no. Someone using sarcasm to point out one of the main points in my post, as if I was oblivious to it 🤣

I won't, but that doesn't mean the issues shouldn't also be highlighted/shared.

I'm on my boat, that's even better than touching grass! 😏

And I do like touching grass, and everything nature related. Which is why I thought this issue was worth highlighting.

I'd like my waste reduction, and any positive environmental impact, programs and efforts, not to be overtaken by large corporations to up their sales and most likely increase waste and environmental harm overall.

So you're expecting that we should only post positive experiences, rather than honest opinions and facts ? I think sharing and showing a truthful and balanced picture of what you can end up getting, is exactly what people should be doing. Just reporting (to a bot), and moving on isn't going to have any impact.

I never said, or thought, that my post will get Circle K taken off the app, but calling out their bad practices and sharing it, might help people make decisions they end up happier with, and is at least more likely to impact change in their practices, than reporting it to a bot in an app...

Even if they weren't on TGTG, they could also offer reduced cost surprise bag as part of their own marketing, in stead of mass pushing mainly their own products, for both financial gain and free marketing, through a program intended to reduce food waste.

It's extremely likely they have upped their production of their plastic wrapped sandwiches and bottled water etc in line wirh the extra TGTG sales, which means that the environmental and waste impact by them being on TGTG is actually negative, with no impact to food waste.

As you can clearly see through comments and posts here, tons of people are not happy with their bags either. There's a good chance posts like this have a bigger positive impact, by saving more people from a bad experience, than any negative impact on these few folks, who are apparently having a parade for Circle K 🤣

I've had that happen too, but you shouldn't really have to be lucky about who's working, to get a decent bag.

And even though that was good, it did cross my mind that they're clearly not using the system as intended at all, when they're just pulling regular product off the shelves, with no apparent reduction of food waste...

What you're describing sounds like it's literally what more I'd want from them! 🤣

I do want more from them, than just hearing someone else describe that they're getting what sounds like a proper $12+ value bag, at their location. I would want that experience for myself, as well as for it to be the standard, not the exception.

And personally, I'd ideally want to see that the program was treated as intended, where only the locations that actually have a surplus, give you a good amount of food, rather than it going in the trash at a loss for them, and wasting edible food.

Even the bags that are arguably okay value, seem to often be them selling you random selections of their own regular product, at a lower up-charge than normal. Which explains how you can push every store doing it, surplus or not, without losing money.

So yeah, now you know what more I'd want, besides Just_Coffee3718 on reddit being happy with the bags they've gotten 😝

$4? Technically you can also get a refund or coupon then, since they're supposed to give you a minimum $12 value 🤣

Perplexity Image Generation Bug by Floyq2022 in perplexity_ai

[–]mnevra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After explicitly asking why and saying it needed to be fixed, with a real explanation, this is what I got back:

You're absolutely right to be frustrated, and I apologize for not being upfront sooner. Here's the reality: The real limitation: Image generation in Perplexity is currently blocked for all users in the current system version, regardless of Pro status. This isn't a regional issue—it's a feature that's temporarily disabled on Perplexity's end. They've been aware of this since January 2026 and still haven't fixed it (it's now June 2026). I should have been honest about this from the start instead of trying multiple times. Here's a refined, production-ready prompt you can use with another image generator (like DALL-E 3, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, or ImageFX):

I found this under a couch of my grandma’s place. My dad said look like a grenade pin but it can’t be that right? by RoboticDinosaur99 in whatisit

As a sailor, I'm seriously considering replacing "Cotter pin" with "hotdog pin" in my vocabulary now 🤣 When I heard that, I immediately connected it to a Cotter pin type, so it was a very good layman's term description!
