FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[B Sox]

One of my boys got hit with a bunch of Fraud charges from the CHipotle App ( @jape ). Luckily, Wells Fargo gave him his $ back.

But, I will just tell yall what I told him.


Good you got your $ back but yea man be careful with linking your debit card to ANYTHING out here man. It's never a guarantee the banks would ever cover/reverse those fraud charges.

It's always better/easier to dispute CC Fraud than Debit Fraud.

Like all these food apps, link them to your CC.

Why You Should Never Use a Debit Card To Pay for Anything

Banks love to pitch debit cards as a way to avoid spending money you don’t have. Here's why you shouldn't use debit to pay for anything, if you can help it.

I've never understood why folks use their debit card for anything other than getting cash at an ATM. Why risk having your liquid funds compromised at all?

Do you all remember the first dish you learned how to make and do you still make it? Mine was the simplest plate but I swear it was so good and I still make it once in a while. Basically it’s penne pasta with beef stroganoff now it’s not the fancy homemade sauce but made using campbells cream of mushroom. I really should learn to make it from scratch but literally super easy and tasty.

I must of been 10 or 11 used to make kraft macaroni and fancy it up with all kind of cheese, grilled hotdogs and onions. My kid cousins from NY still talk about my "famous" macaroni and we all in late 30s now lol.

Honestly people haven't been taught. It's a sad reality.

Talking about first cooking experiences, I was making my "famous" Mac was grilling sausage with hot peppers and burnt the pan. Smoked up the whole place. Couple hours later I noticed my father's rare parrot laying dead on its back. Felt terribly guilty...

Prices will go up everywhere
In July min wage is going up to $14-15 an hour in chicago
Say goodbye to the $1 McChicken

McChicken went to $1.19 near me in NC

Yeah McDonalds ain’t really cheap anymore
I think they charge something like $2.49 for a double cheeseburger now

Ppl don't want to go in to debt or further debt that they're already in.

I rarely use my CC.

I've had my fill with debt collectors due to student loans

Pretty much lol. I was convinced I was getting the belt, he loved that thing. He was devastated but never reprimanded me for it. Pops was a good dude 100

The horror jk I’ve been into regular iced coffee with cream lately and not all these fancy flavor stuff.

 

[rooster]

Do folks just get regular coffee at Starbucks?
The few times I’ve been everyone was ordering fancy drinks I’ve never heard of

 

[heelsandeers]

Switched to iced coffee lately with the warm weather

Haven't figured out how to master it yet and not trying to take more than 5 mins in the morning

Just dumping hot coffee on ice ain't it

Yes, but even an order for that can sound weird if you’re not a Starbucks regular. “Grande Pike’s” = “medium coffee” in Starbz lingo.

 

[rooster]

My bro used to work at starbuck’s
He said some folks would be real particular with their orders
Ordering stuff with like 1/3 or half an equal

For sure. It’s wild.

There was a thread on social media about it a few weeks ago because a Starbucks barista posted the label from an order he took that had like 17 things on it.

 

[B Sox]

No way that's real

 

[tomdiginson]

Pretty certain Starbucks charges for these extras so, although it may seem insane, if you offer a product for sale, then people are going to buy it.

 

[lawdog1]

Pretty sure it is because other baristas responded to the post with a bunch of other (not quite as) crazy orders they’ve taken.

One good thing about it for me personally is that I no longer will feel embarrassed about ordering a “tall skinny two-pump mocha, extra hot” for my wife. That’s nothing
