I had an interesting experience at Home Depot this evening — it was like the good old days again. I went to the plumbing aisle, was greeted by an employee, and he gave me prompt and accurate information on how to fix my problem. Perfect!
The problem is that this has become a rare experience. More [...]
A few months ago, Pizza Hut introduced their “chocolate dunkers”, a new dessert. We got them, and they’re great! In fact, we’ve had them a few times over the past couple weeks.
Tonight we ordered them again, but they pulled a Krispy Kreme on us — “sorry, but we’re all out of those”. It’s not as [...]
We hadn’t been to Krispy Kreme in a while and thought it might be a fun treat this afternoon. We were disappointed that the “hot doughnuts” light wasn’t on, but we still figured we’d get some.
In the drive-thru, we ordered a dozen glazed doughnuts and a coffee. “Sorry sir, but we’re out of glazed doughnuts.” [...]
A while ago, our local Taco Bell burned. Grease fire, I guess. It quickly became an eyesore, but I assumed it would be dealt with. Apparently not.
It’s been at least six months now, and the only change is that they boarded up the windows and barricaded the entrance. What’s up with that? Why doesn’t Taco [...]
A few years ago, a number kept calling our house while we were out, but didn’t leave a message. Finally we were around one time when they called, and it was Taylor Construction looking to drum up some business. I told them very clearly that even if we needed construction services, they were now off [...]
If you don’t follow Michael Masnick’s blog at Techdirt, you really need to. The guys calls things like they are, and makes great points every time.
Today he absolutely kills AT&T for their horrible service. I’ve not had to deal with them in a while, but my previous experiences have been rather similar. Fortunately, we got [...]
On an old blog of mine, I expressed frustration about Goodyear competing against itself. In that case, it was radio ads that essentially said “every Goodyear sucks except for ours“.
To be honest, we’ve been pleased with Goodyear. There are two locations near us, both of which do pretty good work. The problem is that they [...]
We’ve been on a Pizza Hut kick lately. Their “Sweet Meal Deal” is pretty good — 2 medium pizzas, breadsticks and an order of the “chocolate dunkers” for $19.99. Not bad.
Of course, it’s not always perfect. Check out the photo on the right of pizza they delivered last weekend.
I’m usually good about checking the pizzas [...]
Zaxby’s has been really trying to pimp out their “nibblers”, little chicken strip sandwiches. It’s not a bad deal — three nibblers, fries and a drink for a little under $6.
Here’s the thing. They’re good. Really good. I’ve never been a fan of Zax sauce, but it really works with these.
The downside is that they’re [...]
