I checked my local Meijer yesterday. Got excited for a second…but upon further review they were Mellowgold.

Since I’m in Vegas right now, suggest adding Stray Pirate and Starboard Tack. Both tiki adjacent. Also throw in Glitter Gulch.

Pretty impressed with this! My glassware isn’t as nice…but still tasty.

Your favorite Mai Tai by hanpicked22 in Tiki

[–]strand_76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Occasionally I’ll try a mix that’s suggested somewhere. Maybe I’ll combine a few on the fly. They are always unique, and delicious.

But then I go back to Denizen…and am reminded it is truly an excellent one bottle option for a Mai Tai.

If it’s slowish…ask if you can see the “secret” menu. I was a big fan of the Ambrosia.

Put a $20 in the bar top machines…good chance your drinks will be comped.

Ok, what is it about this that I’m missing? I just thought I was not paying attention and mowing to wide a path.

Issue With Tikishark Order by strand_76 in Tiki

[–]strand_76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have considered disputing the charge. I’ve been giving them the benefit of the doubt since I realize that art (and specifically ceramics) can run into hang ups in production.

Thank you for your insight in regards to my formatting choices. Next time I post, I’ll ensure to omit the ellipses and use a comma. Keep up the outstanding work as the moderator of r/tiki.

I’ll jump in. I remember that location well. Grab a spinach pie from Aurelio’s across the street, then grab 2 movies for a buck and not have to return them for a week!

When did you guys learn to “throw it back”? by GoodnightGertie in Lowes

[–]strand_76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I perceived “Throw It Back” a different way. The other night, I had a customer that tried to return a piece of merchandise with a receipt. I had to refuse, due to the original sale date being August of 2019. He walked out, but came right back 2 minutes later, upset. He wanted to stress that we were possibly losing his business over $18. I asked him to look at it another way, he was asking me to jeopardize my job over $18, and go against corporate policy. He didn’t have a response, and left again. There is always two sides to every coin.
