So reliable that you may “experience disruptions,” but we’re not sure when…what poopsicles

I don’t think she can find a 650+ sq ft apartment with in-unit washer/dryer and parking for less than $2100 in downtown Bethesda though.

Yes Little Grande on H St does this too for online order / in person pickup, which is a complete joke because they don’t even notify you when the order is ready.

The area near Brookland metro station around Catholic university is neat, and it’s close to Takoma. Haven’t checked, but I would assume you would be able to find an apartment that fits your criteria there.

Pure bull shit. I like their pizza, but not enough to get ripped the fuck off.

Is sales tax charged on the fee? I assume it is.

This is 100% about Uber Eats and DoorDash. These delivery apps have changed the game in terms of percentage of sales that are now take-out. These fees allow the restaurant to cover the fees Uber/DD charge and to grab a piece of the in-app tip that only goes to the delivery driver.

That’s true, but OP posted that their ladder was 5-6-7, so they have one of those rare jobs that doesn’t apparently.

I think Silver Spring's nightlife is a little overrated, but I would put it above Bethesda's, and obviously it's closer to Takoma Park. It's also pretty easy to get to parts of the city with a lot of restaurants and bars from there.

In the city you could look at Columbia Heights and Park View but getting 650 square feet with parking for under $2100 is going to be tough. You'll also get varying opinions about safety there.

Overall, I'd probably go with Silver Spring.

For 92k you could live in Bethesda. Or at least north Bethesda

Within 4 miles is 30 min or less commute by car.

Generally, western Montgomery County is going to be expensive. The detached single family homes in that area are over $1 million. Silver Spring can be more affordable. It has the walkability of an urban area and some ok breweries and restaurants as well as a movie theater and music venue. Takoma and Takoma Park have great apartments. That area has a small town vibe with a lot of local eateries, a farm market, a couple of cute shops. You might also consider Walter Reed off of Georgia Avenue. It’s in the process of being developed and there are some apartments already leasing.

If you’re looking for more affordable, you might try renting an English basement in Brightwood or looking further out on the red line (Wheaton, White Flint). Fort Totten and Petworth on green aren’t far either. They’ll both get you closer to the heart of the city. Each spot has its own distinct vibe and trade-offs. If you can, come ride the Metro and get off in areas you’d be interested in during different parts of the day. You’ll see how much life there is and whether you feel comfortable walking around.

First they came for our bacon, egg, and cheese.

You’re an entitled idiot

You’re dumb and I hate you

Unplug your phone and put it in the microwave. You’ve been compromised

Home rule is very much at risk, and the GOP has noticed a lot more 51st pressure becoming popular. If a super majority were to happen it would be passed. They want to begin to stop that momentum. Democrats keep playing checkers while the GOP plays 30 year games to overturn Roe and take over state houses.

This side of "progressivism" is so bizarre. OP does not understand how DC shelters work or what adequate notice is.

No just not a lot to say to some dipshit trying to pull politics into a gripe about mandatory tipping. You can fuck off too.

I guess my word choice could have been better, but they aren’t servers, and shouldn’t be compensated in the same way.

> Why do the people dealing with the hordes of angry pickup orders

Handing over take out =/= entering UFC cage.

Tipping is a totally made-up metric, which is why restaurant workers should be paid the same as fast food restaurant workers. Thoughts?

Got it, so your beef is with the entirety of the food service industry. I mean, probably for different reasons, I also don't think restaurants should be allowed to not pay their staff, but there's plenty of arguments over that, that we don't need to add to it here.

Oh wow, yeah that's not good at all.

My comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I also don’t really give a shit about a business that is sneakily passing the buck of paying their employees properly to the consumer.
