that's peak incompetence to forget to put bolts back on a caliper.... whoever the tech was needs to be fired asap. how could you NOT realize there's two bolts sitting in your work area that used to be on a car unless you're horribly disorganized?

The thing is, doing a brake job is only 2 bolts. They forgot to do 100% of the bolts.

My company has provided all sorts of swag over the years ive been with them. The list above is what I see most of our employees use love the most.
All the cheaper swag items usually just get donated to other family members, regifted or get trashed. If the items are quite cheap the users just dont enjoy/appreciate it as much. | I concur with the 32oz Hydroflask.
Easily one of the best bang for your buck purchases you can make, and you'll actually use it daily, unlike a lot of that other junk.

It was 20% on top of the bill and THEN they prompted you to tip, it was insane.

Restaurant was on the same block as some hotel. Auto grat was still there when I was in Miami in April.
We did check with our servers if that was going to them or the business.
There was one place we went to that it didn't.

On a more local travel note, can anyone suggest a basic lunch restaurant at least somewhat between Metrotown and Science World that is decent for young kids (ie pasta, pizza, etc). Bonus points if you know if they have egg-free pasta. White Spot is no good, Boston Pizza is a maybe, Spaghetti Factory is a little further than I want to go.
I know chains suck but I'm going for convenience over quality here.
Also on a side note I've been to Isami Sushi before but if there's an even better place for Japanese takeout within a block of Metrotown lmk.

Get a 2 for 1 giant cocktail off one of the bars on Miami beach | I just came back from Cuba a few weeks ago and I have been traumatized by their interpretation of a Cuban sandwich and I will very likely never have a Cuban coffee ever again.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I know chains suck but I'm going for convenience over quality here. | I like to take my kid to Bells and Whistles at Fraser/17th for lunch - kids meals are $9-11 ( https://www.bellsandwhistlesyvr.ca/f...ood#kids-meals) and there's a few arcade games (skee ball, pop a shot, pac-man) that you can play as well. Service can be a bit slow even though it's never busy for lunch but I like their burgers for myself. Quote:

There's a tiny little sushi place in Old Orchard as well - Haku Sushi - that's better but the menu is smaller and they're so small that they can be really slow if they're busy.
