Right? 2023, you can be tracked by a device that you willingly bought and take everywhere you go. Apps literally ask to allow use of your microphone but nah the lightbulbs are recording and filming you.

This is just how mass factory restaurants work. There's a checklist, they follow it to the letter or they get docked by corporate. Everything they do is part of the brand that is eating at Texas Roadhouse that they're trained to do that was all worked out by some kind of marketing team in a lab-restaurant at the corporate headquarters. All of it. Why does the manager come by at precisely that time? Because it's in the script. Why the new baskets of bread? It's in the script. They will do the exact same thing at every Texas Roadhouse location everywhere. Because that's the "Texas Roadhouse Dining Experience".

Reply to Pittsburgh Imagination Library by juliepde
I don't know for sure about this particular program, but I wouldn't be super worried about it. There are TONS of ways for kids to get free books from the local library system, and they actually do a very good job promoting it and distributing items.
If the city chose to eliminate it, I'd be fine with it, considering it's something that the libraries are inherently better-equipped to do.

I’ve been to most of those other places and I’d still pick Pittsburgh over them all every time.

it would be the the most expensive restaurant of all time, but it'd also have the best service of all time.

That is a fantastic question! And why was it indoors, resulting in a massive vape cloud up against the rafters?
All I can say is that both of those things occurred.

You couldn’t fit a pill in a ziploc bag and put it in your coat? I’m confused

Ya know what? I kinda hope they are listening! I’ll sacrifice the ability to freely discuss my private matters at the table in exchange for being able to whisper “I sure could use more Diet Coke” and a waiter would instantly appear. I’ll make that trade all day. Besides, what’s getting said in private at Texas Roadhouse? Has anyone ever said “Look, we have a very secret and private matter to discuss, let’s head to Texas Roadhouse and hash this out.”

I don’t know why you can’t just use a smaller bag or simply just put the medication in a ziploc bag and put it in your pocket and then not even take a bag into the venue

Imagine thinking that you are so fascinating the staff at a Uniontown Texas roadhouse wants to listen to you through the lightbulb.

I agree America sucks compared to many others with infrastructure. Just on my lunch break earlier my friend that lives in Columbus and I were imaging if there was a high speed train from Pittsburgh to Columbus (where he lives) we would see each other so much more often instead we have to make the 3 drive every few months.

Imagine that job description - listen to and promptly resolve issues observed by remotely listening to Karen’s chew, chomp, lip smack, burp and fart at Texas Roadhouse.

Thank God my folks still live in TN, that's not an explanation I'd want to give to my dad if he saw one
