    Will food delivery prompt some dine-in restaurants to drop dine-in?

    My logic is, if I need to pay 20% gratuity I would prefer to get more for my $20+ or whatever than someone typing my order into a system and getting my order and drinks from the kitchen (etc). I still have to drive there, and unless I am on vacation the atmosphere isn’t really that important to...

    2018 Free Dining Watch Thread V3

    I am really surprised free dining isn’t sold out in December. Even Christmas week has values availability with a Dec 23 check-in.

    What to charge for after school care?

    I am not asking for your salary but I will mention mine, at my last job I made $11 an hour. Maybe that's why I was more understanding and didn't charge exorbitant rates, because I know what the average worker makes. Luckily, when I needed care for my kids, people were sympathetic and didn't...

    What to charge for after school care?

    I could never afford you then, I have three kids, apparently according to your pay grade just over $21 an hour would be expected. For reference point, I did before/after care a few years back, and I charged $5 per hour per kid. I did have sibling discounts but I never had siblings. As an...

    What to charge for after school care?

    While I agree that $25 a week is too low, I disagree with the practice of paying kids much more than minimum wage. A 6th grader doesn't have the same life experiences and skills as an adult, so obviously their labor is going to be worth less, and not only that, we want to give our kids a...

    Walmart price matching

    What this means at my store is that if they don't have that ad already to verify the price they won't PM it. It's really helpful to have the ad with you, just in case they don't have the TRU ad. My store usually has the grocery ads at the registers if the cashier feels like double checking a...

    How long do you kids have to ride the bus? Whiney rant.

    I have to agree that a school can't ban walkers. A school can say that there will be no UNSUPERVISED walkers, because a child must be released to either a parent/sign out person OR to the bus driver. My kids' old elementary school was like that. There were no sidewalks but there was nothing...

    Speaking of college...going back as an adult? Long!

    Definitely a smart move! I am about your age and in a similiar situation and I am going back to school for the same degree. I just completed the AS in BA part at my community college and am looking for a 4 year school to transfer to. What school are you looking to transfer to in the end? I am...

    Is not allowing your child to nap child abuse?

    Oh I know. Sure, a 12 month old should still be napping in the afternoon and I would be raising my eyebrows at that parenting. A 23 month old is still 1 and I think it was about that age we were cutting out the naps as well. By the time my OLDEST was 23 months I had two kids already, and it was...

    Selling Ipod- seller protection?

    Yup, I would do a box within a box. DEFINITELY not a bubble mailer.

    Beach Etiquette

    I agree with this. I get annoyed when this happens to us too, but then I realize, it's because of these exact factors mentioned here.

    Neighbor problem

    I agree! I don't know what "blocking a driveway" means anyway. Are you talking about parking at the end of the driveway so there is no way to get in the driveway? Or parking on the opposite side of the street that the driveway empties out of, so when you are backing out or pulling out you have...

    At what age would you let your children play outside alone?

    At those ages I would always be outside with the kids, at least on the porch with a magazine. I wasn't really worried about kidnapping but to BE SURE they aren't walking in front of a car (when you live in a cul-de-sac when there is almost never any traffic, they get a little too used to walking...

    Health Insurance Question

    It sounds like the facility doesn't file with your insurance. I've had that happen before. Yes, you will be responsible for the full $4000 but it sounds like you'll get a check back for $2100 for what BCBS considers to be "reasonable and customary". When I've had to do that before it was pretty...

    Wwyd???

    OP, I don't mind last minute playdate invites at all. But for goodness sakes, I do NOT want to talk to someone else's kid. I am not talking about my nieces, they can call me anytime. :love: I don't mind a kid calling my cell phone (since I do not have a home phone) and requesting to talk to...

    When Putting Your Items on the Conveyor Belt in the Store

    That grouping actually makes sense to me, because then the tee shirt would be extra protection to be sure the glass jar doesn't break. The only grouping that really ticks me off is raw meats next to ready to eat foods (fruits and vegetables especially) because of the contamination risk...

    New Year's Cards?

    I did New Years cards because I didn't finish up my holiday cards in time. I really didn't give it much thought, the cards were blank inside so I just wrote some blurb about our family wishing your family a happy 2012 or something like that. I usually try to do photo cards every year in December...

    What is Wrong With Some People?

    I am hoping the posters who made excuses for the shopper are being sarcastic? Because cans flying from likely a 6 foot height could dent and be hard to sell. And then go and kick them under a ledge? Who does that? That's pretty entitled, IMO. Just ask for help reaching the high stuff to begin...

    Advice on a root canal?

    Please don't pull his permanent tooth, it will cause his teeth to shift and will cause problems down the road. If you can't afford the cost look into CareCredit, it's for emergencies such as this and most dentists take it.

    Lego Advent Calendar

    No help but I want to say your kids sound relaly cute. :lmao: It sounds like something that would happen in my house too, and then I'd be like..aww, I wasn't planning on buying it but now I am. :yay:
