I wonder if it is programmed into their kiosk/computer/machine and it kept rejecting her order ... and she hasn't been resourceful enough to find a solution around it.

She must be frustrated as well. I mean ring it up as 4 drinks and then 1 ... prob not that complicated.

i dont see how it could be given that it's not even summer drink days yet.. it's like ordering 5 big macs and being told 4 is the limit...

Not even sure how good their shit is. I haven’t been to one since living in the Valley.

Taco time is amazing. Crispy meat burrito with the green sauce is so good.

Went to Cactus for anniversary dinner (that's where we met) and deliberately waited for happy hour menu. $12 for a bacon cheeseburger (no sides), $9 for honey creole fries or whatever it's called. Overall cheaper than usual menu of course and we ordered 5 items plus two drinks. Plus tip it was nearly $100. I also deliberately told the server it was our anniversary so he would give us a free dessert (cheesecake or creme brule). Overall, not bad for the price but couldn't help but think about that Save-On burger plus fries :rofl:

Why didn’t you get the steak Frits !!! It’s quite a bit cheaper on happy hour

Gerbs 05-05-2025 01:50 PM

Anyone know what the best coffee espresso machine is in today's market?

Thinking the breville expresse used or maybe new, but price has 50-75% more since covid.

Badhobz 05-05-2025 02:26 PM

just grab the most expensive one from Costco, when it craps out (and they will), go grab another one. rinse and repeat.

i think as long as you're not the type to have upgrade-itis the breville barista express is a good machine for most people. i have several friends that own them and they love them. i would try to opt for the newer version that has the baratza encore esp burrs.. might be slightly better.

Not sure I noticed it on the menu. Had I even seen it, we had already chosen 5 items which was MORE than enough. I had enough leftovers for 1.5 meals.

Just came back from the Brentwood London Drugs Grand Opening this morning. First 50 people got LD Gift card worth anywhere from $10.00 - $250.00. Also chance to spin and win points, free bag of goodies, free Lee's Donuts and coffee, etc. It opened at 9:00 am, so I went at 7:00 to beat out those old chinese ladies. I was 15th in line. Got my wrist band and was told to come back at or before 8:30. I didn't know about the Visa Gift Card offer. Found out about it from this young girl, who purchased $50.00 worth of beauty products. Old chinese guy says he got one, too. He purchased a $50.00 LD gift card to get the free $25.00 Visa preloaded card. This was about 45 minutes into it. I thought for sure they'd run out, but most people were buying 5-10 bucks worth of stuff. By the time I made it to the self serve, the manager dude had four left. Score!!!!!

$25.00 for $50.00 is damn good. That's 50% off!!!! I buy all kinds of shit at LD, so this was good. Also, did the spin to win and landed on 5000 points. Got parking reimbursed. There's free 3 hour parking just up the side street, but when I came back the second time, all the spots were taken.

As for the store itself, it's modern and very easy to shop. Park anywhere underground, pay, then go up elevators to main floor. It's right across from Starbucks. At the water fountain area.

The last couple of days, I've been ordering 99˘ medium fries from Wendy's. I thought they would suck monkey balls, but they're not bad. I got them confused with KFC, lol. Any of you remember their, "Our fries suck!," commercial? "We know our fries suck, so we have improved it............"

Still sucks, gulolololol..............

Order at drive thru. Avoid bag fee, plus get a bag anyway $1.05 cash.

Their 2 for $4 breakfast combo is pretty solid too - you can add tomato and lettuce for free to balance out the sodium for the wraps / biscuit / muffin sandwich options.

Just got their 99c fries plus two jr bacon cheeseburgers. Under $7 after tax. Cheap lunch for me.

Coren 05-09-2025 04:11 PM

Costco is cheaper sometimes. 2 jugs of 4L for 29.99 when it’s on sale or 39.99 regular price.
