NGL when I order takeout white spot, I usually order a pirate pak for myself. I get the burger and add lettuce/tomato, comes with fries, and ice cream. There's no better deal out there.

You can Pirate Pak all day if ordering takeout. No more discount though.

Prior to Covid you could get 10% off for all takeout orders including the PP. The discount these days is no longer applicable to PP and is limited to 'new accounts' only. The PP was 6$ before 20% off about 10 years ago.

+1 for never using delivery especially 3rd party apps. But tipping on take out is a thing and sadly I’ve accepted it. I'm a creature of habit and I only frequent a handful of places (mom and pops mostly) for takeout. I like the food, good service, no mistakes, because they know me as a regular they give a generous serving and occasional freebie. Boom! Automatic 15%. For restaurants I less frequent (mostly big chains) I just round up. Unless they’re a flirty little thing then Boom, 15%. Hahaha I’m a simple man.

Yeah, no kidding. I was browsing fine dining restaurants in Seattle (stuff comparable to the Botanist, Boulevard, Cioppino's type) and it's 30-50% more money for about the same kind of food/experience and that's before tipping.

While I'm still a bit taken aback when I see burger and fries (or similar) for $20 here it's still a better deal than in the US. After conversion it's even crazier.

A quick trip to Seattle has gotten so expensive, especially with the shitty exchange rate.

I just got back from 5 days in Oregon and ya, it’s not cheap. Even the outlet mall deals were far crappier than I remember from back in the 90’s when I was a kid. I didn’t save a thing doing our back to school shopping there, even with no tax.

This is what I've been saying, Seattle/Portland aren't worth visiting right now.

Way too expensive relative to your options here, and it's a damn shame.

I haven't found anything in the US that's cheaper than it is here. Which I guess is good overall, it's just weird to think about.

Yep, especially since I hear the homeless/drug problem is not much better there than in Vancouver, or even worse in the case of Portland. Despite what some people might make you think that it's a problem isolated to shithole Vancouver.

Ya there was a fully naked lady doing the fentanyl fold outside of our Portland hotel at 9AM. We were at a nice hotel too, not in the slums.

Before I’m asked for pics she was a solid .5

Yea, let’s normalize random murders and a crack society.

Seattle has been awesome every time I've gone, but it's always for a specific activity. I stay in the same hotel, go to the same 3 venues and same 3 bars.
It is pretty pricey but you literally can not touch the Seattle music scene. Maybe Nashville or Austin are the only other options near it but that's a lot more money and time to get there.
I stay in the shitty part of town too and it's not nearly as bad as heading to the rickshaw here.

lol I made the same mistake seeing new found glory with a bunch of buddies visiting but that was back in 2013 when it was WAY less bad down there. Can't imagine it now. Rickshaw itself is a spectacular venue, but coming and going can be pretty not sweet when the sun is down.

So, for those of you who remember, a few months back, I posted about taking an academic non-credit course on how to write. Well, after going through wild emotional roller coasters and sleepness nights, including head banging on the table, I've finally completed the course with a final grade of 96.85%. Asian Fail.

Badhobz is right. I need to redeem myself and retake the course as there is a discount for re-takes.

I actually knew someone in high school who "Asian Failed" by only getting a B, and redid the course in summer school. Obviously a B is much worse than you mediocre score, so I guess it makes sense
