Uh, no one lived in it. It was display and office space.

Not at all. But they’re also not in D.C. I'm in a four bedroom house for a little over $2000/mo—out beyond Rockville.

Ticket base price is $15 and service fee is $20.

What? No. I don’t go to restaurants that impose mandatory tips. Bye now.

Dude, tip whatever you want and the rest of us will do the same.

And no, my pad Thai eat in is the same price as takeout.

At this particular place, the people plating the food and serving the food and boxing the takeout are…the same people. They package it up for me, and it sits there til I come get it. They don’t have to seat me, or answer any questions, or bring me drinks or bring me food or extra utensils when I drop my fork. No, it’s not worth the same tip.

I’m glad they told you about it 👍

But for pickup?? During the height of the pandemic there was a local restaurant I'd get takeout from every other week, purely in an effort to help keep them in business. I'd tip them 20%. Now that they’re back to dine-in, I’m not going there as often, and only dropping a buck in the tip jar when I pick up my food. The higher tips during the crisis were never meant to be permanent (IMHO).

So the kids are supposed to wipe their noses on their sleeves or something?

No. The cemetery lists what funerals are happening every day; figure it out.

Well, there are teeny tiny ice balls coming down where I am now….

Holy shit-! 😮 That can’t possibly be legal… I'd report that to the FTC…

Hee!

I suppose nowadays I'd ask, “Should I point out that I'm on the spectrum, and any personality test I take is going to make me look like a sociopath at best, and an ax murderer at worst?” 😊

Damn, that sucks. I'm on the exact same timeline; 🤞🤞 hope I don’t get it. (But I take the petri dish cesspool known as metro to work three days a week, so I’m not sanguine about my chances. 😬) Feel better soon!

Hate hate hate those Braxton Hicks oops, Myers Briggs things. Such a waste of time and completely useless. They forced the staff to do one of these in a meeting at my office once; when we went around the table to say what personality type we were, I held up the page and said, “I’m the person who wants to strangle all the people on the opposite corner of the chart.” -nervous laughter-

No one cares. Get whatever you want.

Not the first time this has happened; the LOC film unit moved out to the old Federal Reserve bunker in Culpeper.

Sounds like OP will go up one day, stay overnight and come back the next.

Sissy grace. Scam artist. Avoid.

Also check the lease—renters insurance may be required.

Second this; I'm in the burbs but came home from work one day to find the local FD scampering across all our roofs, knocking down a chimney fire in the house three doors down. Fortunately no major damage. (Chimney had never been cleaned in the history of the house.)
