Gonna start a company where people pay me $400/month for access to pizza, and when they want pizza they can call me for preauthorization and I’ll tell them where they can go, how much they can buy, and what kind they can get. My company will pay for 50% after the first $250 spent

@Lostmyinhaler2 @kurosumomo @neonnette So then surely the $16/person charge is waived when there’s nobody waiting for a table. Right?

@TakeThatNurses @kurosumomo @neonnette This is the rationale, is that now that table cannot be turned over. It’s not anti customer at all. Bringing your own cake into an establishment that HAS desserts is always a weird thing. Buy the desserts from the restaurant you’re eating at or pay the fee

Cake cutting fees are standard fare at nice restaurants. When I worked as a pastry chef, we charged $16/person, which was the price of our cheapest dessert. You get to bring your cake in, the restaurant doesn’t lose money on dessert (and they cut and plate it for you, too).

@Sarahhuniverse 1.67 oz of wine, how exciting

name a comedy based on one normal person surrounded by insane jerks.

@Kidfears99 Is it a CGM? They can be sensitive to pressure. I’d compare that reading to a regular glucometer if you can. Also, stress/anxiety raises your blood sugar - maybe that plays a role. I’m not sure about the mechanical functioning of insulin pumps - maybe that’s a factor too

Is there a scientific reason I can’t get my blood sugar down EVER while on an airplane but the second we land it’s normal again?

@breadman_ryan @StephenJHein @neonnette I’ve never tried bringing a cake to a nice restaurant, that much is true

@TakeThatNurses @StephenJHein @neonnette Sounds like you’ve never been to a nice restaurant lol

@thomastousi @Figfigfigfigidy @collin_ruth89 More parts are bad, that’s why I prefer a car without windshield wipers, reverse gear, or brakes

@Figfigfigfigidy @collin_ruth89 Take a Toyota ICE engine. Add electric motor and batteries. That seems like “more parts”. Maybe I’m wrong and Toyota can add parts end up with fewer parts than Tesla?

I don’t understand why every vehicle isn’t a hybrid. Why not use regenerative braking to charge a battery in every car? Huge increase in gas mileage. Why do they still make non-hybrids?

@neonnette @no_caprate So naturally you would waive this fee if there was nobody else waiting for a table, right? Just charge a nominal service fee for the time it takes to cut & serve the cake and wash the dishes? And if the table orders coffee or drinks during cake, the service fee is waived too?

@no_caprate Is there no cost to the restaurant for the additional 30 minutes the party sits at the table without making any purchases? They could have another party already on entreés in that amount of time.

@pixalpixal @StephenJHein @neonnette Like I said in the comment you replied to, x.com/takethatnurses…

@TakeThatNurses @StephenJHein @neonnette Lots of restaurants do this. Depends on their service model. This restaurant is extremely successful so this system works well for them. Maybe they haven’t thought of those things though, you should call them and offer them your consulting services.

@merc7186 @wyomelo Buffalo’s subway might be pretty dinky, but they do have one impressively long escalator

@wyomelo Boy, this an embarrassing but you left off Buffalo

only countries in the U.S. with subways

@wyomelo Buffalo has a subway

@tombos21 I wouldn’t take the bet because the bet is a thousandfold loser to the person paying it. That would never be a fair wager. If there’s a guarantee that the offer and odds are legit, then yeah, that’s worth it

The amount of people voting no on this is wild! The asymmetry of this bet is so obscene that "no" is philosophically unserious unless a $1,000 loss genuinely destroys you.

@pixalpixal @StephenJHein @neonnette Yeah, it’s a great plan. Why just say “No outside food allowed” or specifically have a birthday cake option available when you can make up some flimsy excuse to be a dick instead?

@TakeThatNurses @StephenJHein @neonnette The point of overcharging is specifically to discourage people from doing it, so looks like it’s working on you.

@kurosumomo @neonnette The most logical rationale for this is that the party stays longer and occupies the table instead of another paying party. I get that. But for a family of 8 that probably just dropped $3-400 on dinner, this is an insane charge and completely anti-customer

@TakeThatNurses @neonnette Magical slices, only capable to be sliced by the expert hands of the restaurant cake slicer, only found in this restaurant, and the other one across the street, and you yourself and your better half, and anyone with a knife. $128 please.

@mattbramanti Franco American is light years better than Chef Boyardee

my older son saw this at the grocery store and thought it would be good spoiler alert

@StephenJHein @neonnette I mean, good for you if people are dumb enough to pay that insane charge. I wouldn’t, but it sounds like you’ve got the right clientele

@TakeThatNurses @neonnette Yes. You want to eat your shit in my restaurant, where myself or a cook has to take our time and labour away from guests (who want to eat my food) to cut and plate your own bullshit? You pay us to do so.

@hoipolloiarts @TheWapplehouse I had a similar deal with the fish guy at the local farmers market for a while. I’d bring him treats at the end of the day Saturday and he’d give me great prices on whatever hadn’t been sold. Nothing wrong with a little win-win situation

@TakeThatNurses @TheWapplehouse One of my favorite patrons brings me cookies a few times a year and I keep her in all the kindling she wants

What’s a fringe benefit of your job? Not healthcare or 401k but like…I have an endless supply of cleaning supplies, extension cords, microfibers, and mechanics that’ll work on my car for trade if I detail their ride. And my boss lets me leave any time I need to for whatever reason because I’m fully commission.

@j_fishback I feel like this is a great move for you. Got to propose before they actually get to know you

I met her last week, got engaged on Wednesday, completed all of Catholic marriage prep on Thursday, found a venue Friday, and got married yesterday. Now hire me as Governor so I can deliver this level of speed and efficiency for Florida.
