There was a WaPo article that interviewed several local restaurant owners and they said that they were already complying with 82 and they are adding the service fee as signal that their employees are payed appropriately. I'm for it because I don't want to go to a place where it isn't clear and tip an employee already making $15+ an hour.

Booked my first tee time of the year at East Potomac Park

Seems like most restaurants are complying early right?

Gyrotronics.

Good luck!

Thought the fast food fried chicken craze was over

An upside down flag usually means someone is in distress. I’m gonna assume it’s a prank tho

No, it’s upside down because clearly their ship is in distress and taking on water.

Many thanks! 🙏

Yet Mayor and city council are no where to be found as this becomes a daily occurrence.

Yep. I think it’s just sticker shock for people who know that PF is $10 a month and think all gyms are the same.

Barre is exactly what you’re looking for. I’ve found that the Barre3 classes are really supportive and the instructors encourage you to try different modifications so you can make the exercises harder or easier depending on your body.

Spring is near!

I like all the details you’ve put into the illustration.

No, no. Commenter is ONE Bay Stater. Singular. Massachusettan.

Just visited this last week! I really enjoyed it — however, it is pretty small. Just 2 rooms and maybe 40 photos total. About half of them are in black and white.

I’m the same way! I have found barre and pilates (I do mat) are similar to yoga in that the instructors are encouraging but allow you to go at your own pace without a lot of pressure.

Agreed. I went to one restaurant that had a little sticker on the front that simply said something along the lines of, "We apologize, but our costs have increased, and we had to make the unfortunate decision to raise our prices by 10%". And I appreciated that approach.

Thought I’d read every single Nextdoor grandma complaint about service fees but I guess I forgot we are in for a rash of “why would Initiative 82 do this???” years before it takes effect

I’m always amazed at the multiple levels of failure for stuff like this.

Let’s assume the order from DC to the vendor was correct (iffy, but let’s make that assumption).

Then the person at the printer screwed up setting the template. Then the person boxing/shipping screwed up.

Then it got to DPW and the person unboxing didn’t notice, nor did the crew hanging them, or the supervisor managing the crew doing it. I’ve seen miss spelled flags and signs stay up for months until someone tweets it and the city is embarrassed enough to fix it.

At the very minimum, 5 sets of eyes missed this, and DC probably payed a kings ransom to pay for it all.

Embarrassing.

I solved my shin splints that plagued my first year of running. Achilles is new, and being unable to walk up hills due to covid kinda... it's been a rough running season. Goal is to survive the Cherry Blossom.

February is almost over. That seems like a good thing.
