Re: Wendy's

Tried the Wendys strawberry frosty. 12oz size (I think it was 12oz) cost 1.89. Wasn't long ago it was .99. Anyway, this is an excellent product. It isn't overly sweet and the strawberry flavor is very subtle. It is a very good addition and I hope to see them keep it longer than just this summer. I ...

Re: Air Fryer

A lot of schools went away from deep fat fryers about a decade ago. Since mostly all of their food items are frozen they switched to heating them in convection ovens. Things like potato tots, french fries, chicken nuggets and corn dogs. Although probably many of those items were already being prepar...

Re: Potential multiple takeover bids for Kohl's

Eventually stores are just going to go back to normal, or they'll be in a perpetual loop of going back and forth.

Re: eBay opens pop-up sneaker shop

Yeah people I know do this too, paying $300 or more for a pair of sneakers and then reselling later. It's strange to me, and I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing shoes like that, but then I don't have the means they do.

Re: Oil Change Places and Car Repair

I would not let Jiffy Lube touch any of my vehicles. I have heard too many horror stories. In some cases they have unplugged headlight connectors to sell bulb replacement, and recommended air filters on cars with a few thousand miles on the odometer, and I know of at least three instances where the...

Re: Oil Change Places and Car Repair

Yeah I use a local shop for my tires, they always do a great job and have competitive rates. I've also used a local transmission shop and found them to be good too. I wouldn't have any speedy oil change place do any other services besides changing the oil. I don't think very many people do, I've nev...

Re: Oil Change Places and Car Repair

I used to always use Valvoline Instant Oil Change and never had many issues before. I'd see the same employees most of the time. However in the last few years it seemed like they started to get very pushy about offering additional services. They also insisted that I use full synthetic oil in my car....

Re: Subway Eliminates Customization and Switches To 12 Sandwiches

Whenever I'd go to Subway the line would always take forever because of all the customization and people getting to the counter and not knowing what kind of sandwich, what bread they wanted it on, toppings, etc. And employees not understanding what some customers were saying either. I usually would ...
