Barely related: I got tater tots as the side for my burger at Mellow Mushroom near Short Pump and I received 15 of them. Fifteen probably made-from-frozen tater tots that you could stuff in your mouth twelve at a time if you had the gumption. It seriously looked like half of the intended amount had fallen off the plate. I directly asked the server whether that was the correct amount of tater tots and was assured "yes, they're portioned." (?!? okay cool, now that I know your special word for it I'm satisfied)
Call it what you want, call me a fat American used to being calorie-bombed at every restaurant meal, but there's a certain quantity people expect when you call something a side. If you can't meet that at your profit margins then I guess mark the meal up another dollar or make that side a premium one, whatever makes sense for you to be able to give the amount any member of a first-world country envisions alongside their sandwich.

They removed them from West Marshall shortly after they put them up for the same reason. And they are repaving it again after only 2 years for some reason?

I already rarely ate out before this plague hit. Now I do so even less.
As usual, it's the corporations at the top fucking everybody below. For instance, the big eggmongers are bragging about their 700% increased profits while everyday people are like, "Are you fucking serious with the cost of a dozen eggs?!"
Our unchecked capitalism is gonna raw-dog this country until there's no one left who's able to buy anything.

Confirming this. Several social work organizations in the area deal directly with this! Just make some phone calls and they should be able to point you in the right direction!

Thank you!

The former Davis monument drives my crazy. They could’ve at least thinned it to be the same width as the normal median so you wouldn’t have to drive around the edges when going straight through on Monument.

In my opinion, the LAST resort post pandemic is to write a negative review of a restaurant. I can’t fathom the stress of running a restaurant now— escalating food costs, difficulty in finding wait staff, business down from people who still don’t want to eat out or have cut way back in their dining out, entitled clients who have never or will never own their own business, etc.

I know there are state programs to help the blind in some areas. They could be run out of Richmond Behavioral health authority or DARS.
I would call both and see where they send you.

I think you and I disagree on what makes for a bonus in an elementary learning environment.
That said, it’s a school in a transition, hopefully a positive one. There are far better schools in the area, I just suggested OP should looks into them.

Indeed. I keep this in mind whenever I have a negative (but perfectly reasonable) experience with a restaurant before thinking for a second at how stressful it often is owning and running, let alone working in, a restaurant, and then withdrawing my complaint or closing out of the screen before posting it.

Emily Warden is great. Dransfield downtown has vintage pieces if you’re into that sort of thing.
