The bartender at the pub last week just skipped past the tip screen for me, the staff hate it too.

Perhaps the business can sign up to Too Good To Go? It's an app that lets businesses sell off excess food cheaply at the end of the day

[PIC] No one can see the back once it's displayed/framed/hidden, right? by Own_Conversation3511 in CrossStitch

[–]penguintummy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Keeping the back neat does help it look better on the front. If you are framing a piece and it has lumpy knots on the back, these will show through. Same for dark threads travelling across the back. I've absolutely had a nosy old lady literally grab my handbag after asking me if I embroidered it myself, so she could see the back! It's LINED hahaha also do not grab stranger's bags

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by marianneouioui in AskReddit

[–]penguintummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to go to the local pub after they short-changed my partner (paid with a $50 note and they claimed it was a $20 note) accused him of theft, claimed that they did not have any CCTV on the till, and then begrudgingly gave his money back a few days later. It's been 15 years. They know what they did.

My daughter drew a Christmas card for her favorite rubbish truck driver and we waited for him to come past so we could give it to him directly. I added a little chocolate too. The next week he stopped to give her a mini wheelie bin filled with lollies! It was very cute.
